Wresting in the condition she’s in was a terrible idea and if this doesn’t put Kelly away, she’s not sure she has anything left in the tank. Nikki takes solace in the fact that Kelly came into this match just as hurt as she did.
Kelly struggles to her feet, and Nikki makes her move, flipping Kelly over with the Dublin Destroyer, and holding her in place for the pin. This is it. But no! Kelly’s feet are touching the ropes. Nikki sneaks a glance across at the ref and silently prays for her not to notice. Time seems to stand still as the count begins.

She did it! Nikki struggles to her feet, then points and laughs at Kelly as she imagines how angry her now hated rival must be to have been defeated despite the contact between her feet and the ropes. Nikki turns, arms raised in triumph as she panders to the crowd. Many boo, mostly the women. Many others cheer, mostly the men.
Sore, tired and in need of a long rest, Nikki is unable to react to the sudden movement behind her.
