Bianca Belair vs. Dakota Kai: Belair bullies Kai right away, but Kai cuts her off with a dropkick and gets a cradle for 1. The running kick gets 2. Belair cuts her off, tossing her to the buckles and following with shoulder blocks in the corner. The slingshot suplex follows for 2. Belair hits the running frog splash, and takes time to celebrate. Belair then lays in clubbing strikes and covers for 2. She then works an abdominal stretch and lays in strikes as well. The pump handle back breaker follows from Belair. Belair talks some shit but Kai counters the triple slingshot suplex, and Kai gets a cradle for 2. Belair cuts her off, but Kai gets the knees up on the running frog splash. The enziguri follows and Kai looks to fire up and she lays in more kicks. The corner boot connects and another for a near fall. Kai heads up top and leaps over Belair, Belair misses the hair whip, but the burning Belair finishes it. Bianca Belair defeated Dakota Kai @ 6:05 via pin [***] This was really Bianca Belair’s first major singles match, as it was really all about her and getting he rover strong in front of a big crowd. Pairing her with Kai was really smart, as Kai sold well for her, and they worked well together. Belair continues to impress, and handled herself very well in front of a big crowd; this was good.
