Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring.

We go to commercial.

We go to Maxxine in the back on the phone with Otis telling him to get things.

Ludwig Kaiser shows up and he wanted to congratulate Chad on his win and that The Ring General is looking forward to wiping Gable's body all over the ring.  He says he has had his eyes on Maxxine for a while.  She has all the potential, but some of the people around here are better than her.  Look at the European esthetics and then look at the freak you are hanging out with.

Maxxine slaps Kaiser and Otis shows up after Kaiser calls her feisty.

Otis challenges Kaiser to a match and Kaiser accepts.  He says he will see Maxxine around too.

We go back to the ring where Becky is waiting.

She says she is so close to the end.  It has been months of doing everything in her power.  She has been fighting, talking, scratching, winning, losing, overcoming obstacles, and failing but she is ready to end this saga and charade when she gets her match next week against Trish.  The greatest of THAT generation against the greatest of THIS generation and any generation going forward.  No Zoey Stark to deal with.

Zoey Stark interrupts and makes her way to the ring.

Zoey asks if Becky is obsessed much.  She says that has been over for a while.  Trish beat you and Zoey says she beat Becky.  This is all about The Man being afraid of Zoey Stark.  

Becky wants to know what Zoey is doing.  She says she knows how good and how gifted Zoey is.  You never had to work for it and maybe that is why you hitched your wagon to Trish.  Regardless of how good you are, you are too stupid to realize that Trish has been dragging you in the wrong direction.  You could be fighting for titles, but you are playing second fiddle to Trish.

Zoey says she is second fiddle to no one.  She says that Becky is jealous.  You are mad that the greatest of all time kicked you to the side and picked Zoey up.  Zoey says she is the fasting rising star in WWE and the baddest in the locker room.

Shayna Baszler's music plays and she makes her way to the ring.

Becky says Shayna looks rough and Shayna says you should see how Ronda looks, but she won't be here so you can't see her and she drove Ronda out of WWE.

Shayna says she wasn't invited to this party but she thought she heard her being mentioned when Zoey asked who is the baddest.

Zoey says Shayna is the baddest punching bag.  If you keep running your mouth, she will send Shayna packing.

Becky says that sounds like fighting words so why not have a match tonight.  She asks Adam to come out to make this a match.

Adam says that sounds good and he calls for a referee and this match is official.

JD McDonagh is talking to Finn Balor in the back and Damian Priest shows up and says that they have THE Judgment Day business to discuss.  Finn says that Damian can say it in front of JD.

Priest says that Balor didn't come out at the start of the show and that wasn't the plan.

Balor says Priest didn't follow the plan.  

Priest says he was there to make sure that Finn won.

Balor says maybe Priest cost him on Saturday.  He says the contract is in the way.

Rhea stops them and she tells Balor that Priest was there to help Balor.  She tells Priest and Balor to get on the same page to run Raw.

Priest and Balor say they are good now.

JD says he might be out of line and he says the briefcase has come between them and maybe Priest should get rid of it.

JD walks away with Finn and Priest has to be held back.
