The other Royal Rumble winner, Bianca Belair makes her way to the ring.
Bianca says when she won the Rumble, her whole life changed overnight. Ever since Sunday, I have been doing press nonstop and I have been getting props from everyone. She says choosing her opponent at Wrestlemania is the biggest decision she can make. You have the Raw Women's Champion Asuka. With her titles, she is the Empress of All Day. She moves on to Sasha Banks. She is a grand slam champion and she is whooping bounty hunters in a galaxy far far away. If she wants to put the EST in Wrestlemania, she will have to do it her way.
Reginald interrupts and he wants to offer a little advice. If you say Asuka, he can see that and he is quite certain that she can beat Asuka. If you say Sasha Banks . . . Let me put it like this. You know damn well you can't beat Sasha. You can't even beat Carmella. If . . .
Carmella's music interrupts.
Carmella says Reginald is a wise man, even when he gets over-excited. Let's not forget that I beat Sasha in my first match against her. That means I beat Sasha Banks twice. Despite all of your hype, I am certain I can do the same to you.
Not to feel left out,Smackdown Women's Champion comes in out of light speed to arrive at the Thunderdome.
Sasha tells Carmella, with all due respect, I am going to stop looking in the rear view and look at the road ahead. Bianca, you have my attention. I have seen you setting records in the Royal Rumble matches. You lasted nearly an hour this year to stake your claim to main event Wrestlemania. I have been watching you and I have seen you pick up Otis so I know you are the strongEST. I have seen you run past Bayley so I know you are the fastEST. You are not the best. If you are going to choose me, then choose me. You have it all, but you don't got this as she holds up the Smackdown women's title.
Bianca says if she chooses . . .
Reginald interrupts and he says you got lucky at the Royal Rumble and if you choose Sasha, you will lose.

Edge says you can't accomplish something you never dreamed of. While I was grinding through rehab, I was dreaming. Every road mile I logged, I was dreaming. I was dreaming of coming back home. I was dreaming of winning the Royal Rumble, of main eventing Wrestlemania. I was dreaming of taking back something I never lost, something that was mine. I came in at number one and I outlasted 29 of the best superstars in the world. Now, I find myself on the precipice of the main event at Wrestlemania.
That begs the question. Which champion do I choose. Do I choose Drew McIntyre? Do I choose Finn Balor? Do I choose Roman Reigns?
I asked my family and I get one answer. I ask my friends, I get a different answer. I saw a guy on the way to the building and he gave me a different answer.
