After the pre-match video package wraps up, the upbeat and catchy entrance tune for the challenger hits and out comes Willow Nightingale accompanied by Kris Statlander. As she comes out, we learn that Kris is banned from ringside. The two hug and Willow heads to the ring, stopping to hug her family who are in attendance. Stokely Hathaway join the gang on special guest commentary for this one.

The lights go out and out comes the reigning and defending TBS Women's Champion. Julia Hart settles in the ring and the lights come back on. The bell sounds and we're officially off-and-running with this one. Nightingale drops Hart with a boot to the face, and then follows with a series of right hands. Nightingale slams Hart into the corners, and then goes to the ropes. Hart comes back with a kick that sends Nightingale to the floor.
