Rhea Ripley wins back the gold.
The match started off with some brutality, as Ripley planted Morgan into the mat before tossing her to ringside. Morgan attempted to get back into things by clocking Ripley with a knee strike on the apron. This had little to no effect on Ripley, who powerbombed Morgan into the announce table after catching her in mid-air.

By the time the match returned from an ad break, Morgan was in control of Ripley. Ripley eventually turned the tides and scored a near fall on Morgan after taking her out with an overhead suplex. Moments later, Ripey seemed like she had things won, as she planted Morgan with a Riptide. Shockingly, Morgan kicked out of the finisher.
This prompted Dominik Mysterio to slide Morgan's Women's World Championship into the ring. While the referee was distracted, Raquel Rodriguez slid a chair in the ring, allowing Morgan to hit an Oblivion on it. Later on in the bout, Ripley countered another Oblivion attempt and destroyed Morgan with two Riptides in a row to win back the Women's World Championship.

After the match, Ripley rejected Dominik Mysterio's attempted embrace and kicked him in the groin. Mysterio took a riptide from Ripley and 'The Eradicator' stood tall after the fact.
