As Lynch got to her feet, Allysin Kay re-entered the ring and she attacked Becky from behind, hitting her in the back of the head before throwing her shoulder first into the ring post! Lynch fell to the mat, clutching her shoulder in pain. Allysin Kay then turned her attention to Sakisama, who was back on her feet.
