We are back and Becky Lynch is in the ring.
Becky says it feels good to have this title back on her shoulder. The title she never lost. The title she won at Wrestlemania 35 and the title that no one has beaten her to take. She says she has been back for 2 months and she is making headlines. She overcame insurmountable odds to beat Sasha and Bianca. As the man of the people, I know you don't want to see Bianca anywhere near this title. There is a whole new crop of women chomping at the bit. You want to see me beat Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan. They will learn, just like Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair learned that you can't get what you want unless you are her.
Bianca Belair's music plays and she makes her way to the ring.
Bianca says it is always something something. I walked out of Crown Jewel with a lot of feeling but I did not feel shame. I was not the one you pinned, or cheated to win. I saw what you did. If anyone should be ashamed, it should be you. You only think you get what you want because you haven't faced any adversity. You have found every way to avoid me since SummerSlam. I beat Sasha at Wrestlemania. I beat Bayley at Hell in a Cell. I beat Charlotte last week so that means I get a match against the Raw Women's Champion and that is you. Your twenty-six seconds of fame and that title reign are over.
The new face of Raw has shown up and it is the EST of WWE.
Becky tells ESTer that she might says she is the face of WWE. Becky shows herself after winning at Crown Jewel and then she shows Bianca's face after the match. That isn't the face of Raw, that is the face of a loser. You want to talk about not facing adversity? I overcame adversity to become a hero for these people. You had a straight shot to the title. You won the Royal Rumble and at Wrestlemania. You beat the best women in the company because I wasn't here. Since then, it has been disappointment for you.
Bianca says she is disappointed that she hasn't smacked that smile off your face. You have hidden how hurt your feelings are. You really thought that everyone was going to be so happy that you came back and forget about me, but they are still rooting for me. You might have the title, but you are seeking all that validation. Behind the forced smile and catchphrases, you have nothing. Having the title is a beautiful thing. If you are not enough with it, then you are not enough without it. You were nothing without the title. I have shown that I am still the EST of WWE without the title. You will never be the strongest, fastest, or smartest on Raw. She tells Becky to shut up or run up because she wants her match tonight.
