Bayley, Iyo Sky, and Dakota Kai make their way to the ring.
Bayley wishes Trashville a Happy New Year. You should be proud to be from the city where this group was formed. Finally, something good came from this place. Bayley says she cannot think of a better way to kick off 2023 than next to her heroes, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky.
Before we get to the celebration, we need to address the Irish Elephant in the room. She did beat Becky Lynch. I am not going to say it was easy because she is one of the best in the world, but it was fun. Bayley cackles and says she did it on her own.
Becky Lynch’s music plays and she makes her way to the stage.
Becky tells Bayley to shut up. You are out here talking like you invented the wheel, but you are on the hamster wheel since your return. You are a coward and a fraud. You are unable to do anything on your own. You are most comfortable in someone else’s shadow. It took years and years to get out of someone’s shadow but it took a year for you to get back under the shadow. The tag champs aren’t your lackeys, they are the ones doing all the work while you take the glory. It is a matter of time before someone turns on someone else.
Bayley says Becky is angry because she lost.
Becky says she doesn’t get angry when she loses, she gets better. You bring up a good point. This started at SummerSlam so how about we end it right here in Nashville tonight?
Bayley cackles and says that is a big Ding Dong No. Bayley is shocked people think this is going to happen. If you have an issue with Dakota and Iyo, how about they face you and a partner of your choosing.
Becky says she doesn’t have her phone so she can’t call anyone. How about doing it two on one. Let’s go.
