Throughout the match, Natalya focused and targeted Charlotte’s left leg, softening it up with kicks, submissions and even shoving Charlotte’s knee to steel steps when the action spilled to the outside, all with intentions of locking in the Sharp Shooter.

When the Sharp Shooter was locked, Charlotte managed to reverse the submission and send Natalya headfirst to the turnbuckle. Charlotte fought through the injury to begin her comeback with a big boot and a top rope moonsault, that saw Charlotte land on her legs.

Shortly afterwards, Natalya restored to attacking Charlotte’s weakened leg with a steel chair thus ending the match in via DQ.
