Kana brutalized her archrival Gail Kim with three kicks to the head that knocked her back out of action and then avenged her first defeat by knocking Ayako Hamada out as well. Serena Deeb, who scored the only elimination for their team in that match, vowed to stand up for her fallen friends by challenging Kana to a one on one bout. Many questioned the move with Deeb's own history when she herself was injured shortly after her debut back in mid-2011 but Serena was confident and determined.

Serena was focused and determined while Kana was poised to maintain her mean streak for what promised to be a memorable matchup.

As Kana slowly returned to her feet, Serena drilled her with one perfectly timed elbow right to the face that dropped Kana in a heap to the mat as the final blow. Serena followed up with a cover and scored one of her biggest victories to date! Jessie McKay, who cheered Serena on from ringside all match, was quick to pull Deeb from the ring to safety and they celebrated up the ramp with their hands held high while Kana began to recover in the ring in disbelief. Kana will likely remain deadset on revenge but Serena did exactly what she set out to do and avenged the beatings dished out to Gail and Hamada. And Serena & McKay along with Gail & Hamada couldn't be happier with the victory. What a feeling!
