Shayna puts Kai in an ankle lock that she manages to get out of by crawling to the bottom rope for the break, only for Shayna to immediately apply it again. Kai manages to kick her way out of it before dropping Shayna with a series of kicks into a dropkick, then hits a variation of the helluva kick in the corner.
