We are back and Sonya Deville and Charlotte Flair are in the ring. Sonya says she has let Charlotte make a proposal.
Charlotte says she was a little taken back when she heard Asuka and Rhea were given another title match without her getting a chance. She ended Asuka's two year streak. I put Rhea Ripley on the map when I beat her last year at Wrestlemania. Do I have to remind you that Rhea took my spot at Wrestlemania. I have made mistakes and learned the error of my ways. I am happy to be reinstated. You can't say if I am added to Backlash, it won't be a better pay per view. They can take the division only so far. I can take it farther. I am the most important influencer of the women's division. I influence and they follow. I say, they do.
Charlotte says she gave Sonya the opportunity to be an authority and you made the courageous decision to lift the suspension. Love me or hate me, the division needs me. The WWE Universe needs me. She says she is happy to oblige and give me a match of my worth. She tells Sonya to do the right thing and add her to the match at Backlash. She tells Sonya to 'Be Fair to Flair'.
Sonya says since the men's match is a triple threat match, I will be adding Charlotte to the Triple Threat Match.
Rhea Ripley's music plays and she comes out and says that she has put up a lot coming out of this spoiled brat's mouth, but this is pure crap. There is a reason why Charlotte was not in the match at Wrestlemania. That is the reason why nobody wants to see her in her rematch. Rhea says nobody likes Charlotte. Rhea says she can beat Asuka one on one because she already did. A triple threat match? You know how unfair that is.
Rhea says that she should have known that when Sonya brought back Charlotte that this would happen.
Asuka's music plays and she makes her way to the ring.
Asuka says this is crap and she calls Charlotte a whiny baby. She says she can beat Rhea because she is ready to become the Raw Women's Champion.
Charlotte says that is why no one compares to her. You get thrown one curve ball and you lose your minds. Charlotte says Rhea is walking into Backlash with the title, but I will walk out as the champion.
Rhea gets in Sonya's face and Charlotte hits Rhea from behind and then Asuka sends Charlotte to the floor.

Miz says last time he checked, he is the Miz, one of the most decorated superstars in WWE history.
