She laid out the title on the ring and then attacked Charlotte, clearing the ring. Out came the commissioner Shane McMahon.

After Shane had left, Charlotte came in and attacked Naomi and lifted the title, but the champion was quick to come back in and clear the ring.

AJ Styles celebrated to close the show.


Rating: 100/100
I was there to witness this and what an awesome moment and experience to have and to witness SDLive in person is so different then watching it on TV. You see everything from them changing the ring, to just each moment.
I think the only downside was the fact they said Nakamura was gonna be next for us not sure if it said that on tv but if you wanted to see Nakamura vs. Dolph Ziggler you'd have to wait after 205Live and the show is long enough without going through 205 Live. So, we left after the final match as they was setting up for 205 Live.
It also was insane to witness Naomi's entrance in person it is just as awesome as it is on tv 
Also, it sucked that my signal wasn't working so I couldn't post Live tweets during it.

I do have as many photos as I could capture and sneaked a few videos. So, stay tuned for this I am making it into an video of all the stuff.
