The first hour of WWE SummerSlam closed out with the grudge match between Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose. It was supposed to be a Hair vs. Hair match but that was changed on Friday when Deville announced that the match would be a No DQ, Loser Leaves WWE match.
Notes written in real-time during the match:
The match started with Sonya shoving Mandy. Sonya got the first pin attempt. They fought at ringside and Mandy shoved Sonya into the barricade and into the steel steps and by the steel ramp by the entranceway. Mandy did a flying clothesline off the announcer’s desk to Sonya at ringside.
Mandy set up a table at ringside but that gave Sonya time to recover. Sonya ran at Mandy with a chair to the stomach. Mandy was briefly able to get some offense when they got back in the ring but Sonya locked in a choke submission but Mandy broke out of it but Sonya locked in a triangle submission. Mandy got out of it and then began to fight back with a running knee and pin attempt. They moved back to ringsid where Mandy rammed Sonya’s head into the announcer’s table. Mandy tried to do a dive through Sonya, who was positioned on a table but Sonya moved out of the way. Mandy tossed chairs at Sonya but Sonya moved out of the way and Sonya hit a running kick to the stomach.
Back in the ring, Sonya hit a kick to the nose and then an underhook slam attempt but Mandy countered with a running knee and followed up with two more knees and the facebuster. Mandy hit another running knee and the pin. Sonya is leaving WWE.
Otis ran out to the ring to celebrate with Mandy.
