Ric asks if he looks like a happy father. He asks if he looks like a proud father. He asks if he has had fun in Laredo before. In 1972, he had a lot of fun. Ric says that there are times in a man’s life when things happen that are so special that you don’t know what to say.
The first time you walk through the curtain, the first time you walk down the ramp, the first time you see ten thousand people. Then when you win your first title, or your second, or your third, or your tenth.
Ric says the proudest moment in his entire life is not his world championship win in 1981, or his match with Shawn Michaels when he retired. The proudest moment of his wrestling career was when his little girl won the Divas Championship. He didn’t give it to her. She got it because she worked. She bled, she sweat, and she cried. She beat a great champion in Nikki Bella. Ric wants everyone to welcome his little girl.

Charlotte and Ric woooo together.

There was no Divas Revolution. Paige calls Becky the least relevant of all of them. Team B.A.D. is all flash and no substance. Lana and Summer are too busy trying to figure out who to jump on. She wonders where Nattie is. Does she even work here? Paige says we know the real reason why they got where they are.
Paige tells Charlotte not to act like she is somebody because you are only here because of your old man.
Paige leaves the ring.
Nikki Bella’s music plays and she makes her way to the ring with Brie and Alicia Fox. She calls Paige classless and trashy. Poor Charlotte. Welcome to her world. When you are on top and everyone is jealous of you. Can you handle it? Paige couldn’t handle it. Nikki says she handled it for almost a year because she is woman enough. She tells Charlotte it doesn’t get easier.
Tonight, you are going to lose to her sister . . . and the Queen is not done talking. When we have our rematch, you are going to lose the Divas Championship too. She wishes Charlotte luck.
