Hania and Sumie start.   They circle each other and tie up and separate.  Hania catches Sumie with a kick to the gut and hooks her for a vertical suplex but Sumie counters with a small package.  Before the referee can count, they start rolling all over the ring.   Sumie stops it and gets a 2 count.  Hania looks for a tag but she's in the wrong corner.  Sumie tags in Mandy and Hania makes it to her corner to tag in Deonna.  They tie up and Mandy does some chain wrestling, going from a hammerlock into a nelson into a headlock takedown.   Deonna counters with a headscissors but Mandy escapes.   Deonna gets a headlock takedown of her own.   Mandy counters with a headscissors but Deonna escapes that.  Deonna catches Mandy with a boot to the midsection.  Deonna runs off the ropes but Mandy stands against the ropes.   Mandy runs and Deonna catches her and lifts her but Mandy gets a Satellite Headscissors.   Back to their feet, Mandy gets an arm wringer and hits the Heart Punch, which was a finisher of one of her trainers, Daizee Haze.  (And of Stan Stasiak and Ox Baker decades before.)   Mandy whips Deonna off the ropes but Deonna reverses it and Mandy goes for the ride.   Deonna positions herself for a back body drop but Mandy catches her with a sunset flip instead.   It gets 1.  Deonna counters into a pin of her own.   It gets 2.  Mandy counters back for 2.   Deonna kicks Mandy in the face.  Deonna comes off the ropes with a knee drop.   Deonna hits a short-arm clothesline.  Another one.  Deonna covers and only gets 1.  Another 1 count.  Deonna brings Mandy to her feet.  Mandy runs off the ropes and Deonna tries for a hiptoss but Mandy counters it into a pin for a 1 count.  Deonna catches Mandy with a kick and hits a vertical suplex, going for Eddie Guerrero's Three Amigos.   She hits all three and covers but only gets 2.  Deonna headbutts Mandy, sending her into the Hania/Deonna corner.  Deonna tags in Hania.  Hania enters and sends Mandy face first into the turnbuckle.  Mandy responds with a back elbow to the chest.   Mandy runs out of the corner and Hania stops her with a dropkick.  Hania covers but only gets 1.  Hania brings Mandy up to her feet.   Mandy runs off the ropes, ducks Hania's clothesline and hits her with a Flatliner into a Koji Clutch.   Hania grabs the bottom rope to escape.   Mandy runs off the ropes and Hania hits her with a spinwheel kick.  It gets 1.  Hania trash talks Mandy as she is getting to her feet.  Mandy responds with a punch, a forearm and a kick.  Mandy does the Splitslap.   Mandy runs off the ropes but Deonna has pulled Sumie off the apron to the floor.   Mandy catches Hania with a Quesadora Bulldog.  Mandy goes to make the tag but Sumie isn't there because of what Deonna did.  Hania powers Mandy into the corner. (Sumie is shown back on the apron.)   Hania charges in but Mandy stops her with a boot.  Mandy climbs up but Hania stops her.   Hania hooks Mandy for a Superplex but Mandy escapes and flips over Hania and grabs her and hits a Running Powerbomb! Race to tag.  Deonna comes in to stop Mandy from tagging in Sumie but Mandy kicks her away and tags in Sumie.   Sumie ducks Deonna's clothesline and hits her with a dropkick.   Then a dropkick to Hania.   Then a flying clothesline to Deonna.   Then one for Hania.   Sumie comes off the ropes but Deonna catches her and she and Hania hit a side slam/elbow drop combination move.   Hania knocks Mandy off the apron to the floor.   They try for a double suplex on Sumie but Sumie escapes and Mandy flies off the top with a crossbody to both Hania and Deonna.   Sumie follows that with a shotgun dropkick to both ladies.   Deonna is in one corner and Sumie charges in with a big forearm smash, and then does the same to Hania.   Sumie grabs Deonna and Hania charges out but she and Deonna collide and Sumie hits Deonna with a big German Suplex.  Deonna rolls out to the floor.  Sumie hits Hania with a Fisherman's Buster.   Sumie steps on Hania's stomach and climbs up and hits the Moonsault.   Mandy then hits the Leonsault for the pin.  ****
