WWE Crown Jewel: Natalya vs Lacey Evans
The match began with both the superstars praising each other by shaking each other’s hand and proceeding to make history. Natalya started well by trapping Evans in a Sharpshooter. Evans somehow contoured the move, only for the Queens of Hearts to throw her on the floor. Evans recovered quickly and attacked Natalya’s knee and dropped her on the ring apron. Evans then caught Natalya with a cobra clutch and trapped her in an arm lock, looking to force a submission out of her competitor. Natalya somehow got out of the lock and delivered a basement dropkick to Natalya.
Natalya then tried to trap Evans in a Sharpshooter, but Evans countered with a roll-up and delivered a fisherman's suplex to Natalya, dropping her down. She then climbed up to the top rope and executed a perfect suplex for a near-fall. Evans tried another high-risk manoeuvre but failed as Natalya threw her with a clothesline and trapped her in the Sharpshooter. Evans had no were to go and tapped out letting Natalya win the match. After the match, both the wrestlers raised each other’s arms as fans cheered and chanted.
