6. Tasha Steelz (w/ members of Order 4) vs Mara Sadé

Result: Tasha Steelz via pin fall. (5:52)

Sadé got a near fall after a knee to the head. Jason Hotch tripped up Sadé to give Steelz the edge. Steelz caught Sadé with a gamengiri in the corner. Sadé powered out of a chinlock and caught Steelz with a forearm. Sadé caught Steelz with a hip attack and a slingblade. Sadé hit a middle rope dropkick for a near fall. Sadé went to the top for a moonsault, but the members of Order 4 around ringside distracted her. Steelz took Sadé down with a Russian leg sweep from the middle rope. Sadé hit her finisher (which looks like a botched move) and Jason Hotch and John Skyler jumped up on the again to distract her. Sadé hit Skyler with a dive on the floor, then got into a stare down with Agent Zero. Steelz caught Sadé coming back into the ring with a cutter and got the pinfall with her feet on the ropes for leverage

After the match, Hotch and Skyler held Sadé open for Agent Zero to floor her with a clothesline. The Hardys came out late to chase Order 4 away and they clotheslined Zero to the floor. They’re trying to portray Agent Zero as this giant, but he isn’t even bigger than the Hardys.
