Lita went to the top rope and came off with a high cross body on Molly into a pin for a two count.
Molly mounted Lita in the corner and started to give her some right hands but Lita fired out of the corner with a walking power bomb and then another pin for another two count.

Molly couldn't believe Lita kicked out, so she yelled at the referee and then she went to the corner and exposed the middle turnbuckle. As she was doing that, Lita rolled her up for a two count. Molly then pulled Lita into the exposed turnbuckle and then pinned her for the three count to get the win and retain the Women's Championship.
