After the break, she stayed on the same target, worked for an armbar, and even mocked Flair’s father’s legendary strut while trying to stay in control. That is why Roxanne Perez was the name drawing attention after the show ended: she had a plan, and it nearly worked until Flair found a way out.

Flair did not give Perez a clean opening for long. She powered out of the armbar and dropped Perez with a powerbomb to create separation, but Perez kept coming back, pulling Flair off the top rope and later landing a springboard moonsault that still was not enough to keep her down. The sequence mattered because it showed Perez controlling the match in bursts while Flair kept finding responses under pressure.

Alexa Bliss recovered and prevented Morgan from interfering, which removed one path for the match to tilt again.
