We have a video package for the Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch match from last week.
Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring.
We are back and Veer's back is turned. He says the lion is the king of the jungle. To survive the lion must hunt its prey. Other times it is just for fun.
Becky Lynch says it is a big night for St. Paul since she is in the building. You thought it would be a big night for Liv Morgan. It was a big match but I am still your champion like I said I would. Some of you are happy that I won, but a lot of you wished that Liv would have won. If Liv had won, you would find every reason to doubt the women who made you believe in her. You don't know what you want. Remember when you wanted me back. Then I came back and a lot of you have opinions about how I do my job even though you never set foot in this ring. You never changed the game or broke down gender barriers. You never left and came back better than ever. You didn't evolve. You need to evolve for your fans or you will disappoint your fans.
Becky has a photo from last week's match.
Becky says she is going to hold on to this title for a long time.
Liv Morgan comes out to the stage.
Liv says she is not getting used to anything. She says that St. Paul is sick and tired of listening to your broken record. You keep saying people would doubt me if I became the Raw Women's Champion. The only person doubting me is you. You doubting me is the exact reason you almost lost last week and needed to cheat to win. I have a photo to prove my point, and it is Becky holding the rope on the pin. You are the best, but only at cheating to win.
I cried a little last week after our match. It isn't because I was weak, it was because I am human. I was disappointed but I snapped out of it. I know I can beat you. I believe it. Liv asks if that would embarrass her. You reminded me why our story is not over. I will not give up until I can make that title mean something for that little girl. If you are really Big Time Becks, then you would accept a rematch for the Women's Championship at Day One.
Becky says she didn't have to do that because she had to, she did it because it was easy. Don't blame me for grabbing the ropes but for not doing it first. You have proven you don't have the killer instinct. You did the same thing you did before, absolutely nothing.
Liv comes to the ring and she attacks Becky and connects with punches and then hits a kick and facebuster. Becky send Liv into the ring steps and puts Liv's arm between the step and the ring post. Becky stomps on the steps and kicks the steps.
Becky says it looks like you might have injured yourself, but if you still want that match, you are on. Since there are no other able bodied women to face her, she is going to go home to train and spend some time with her hot husband and baby.
We take a look at what happened with AJ Styles and Omos.
AJ Styles walks alone in the back and Sarah ambushes him to ask about the problems with him and Omos. AJ says they weren't at their best last week and it was disrespectful for Omos to walk out on him. AJ says he is not ready to give up on the team. It is just growing pains. You don't give up on something like that. I have been in this business for a long time and I have never seen anyone like Omos. If anything goes wrong, it is my fault. I did not discover Omos to boost my career, it was to give back. Omos is a good kid and I want to see him succeed in this business.
Omos shows up and he asks AJ if they are good. AJ says they are golden and he is not giving up on this team. Omos says he is not giving up either.

She tells the people they can cheer her, but when they boo her, she remembers that she is from New York and not from York. Then she remembers her fake accent and she says that she will show why some people deserve to be on top while some deserve to be buried under a snow pile in a flyover state like Minnesota.
