A good match and the finish would seem to set up a potential Green heel turn to align her with Matt Cardona.
This felt like it was Tasha's time to win the title, so sadly that didn't happen but her work has been so top notch there will certainly be another time for her to have a run on top. James and Steelz both looked really good here.
