Storm says she is stronger than ever, and she will take the title at Takeover.

Both teams looked great. Webster and Andrews got off to a fast start, and they never really slowed down. That is, not until Gibson and Drake starting hitting some big moves. The teamwork of Gibson and Drake shined towards the end of the match.
