Bayley says when she thinks about Wrestlemania, she has done it all, almost. She defended the Raw Women's Title, The Smackdown Women's Title, and the Women's Tag Titles. She says she even hosted it. She says this is different because she didn't get here on her own. There were ups and downs, but she had her girls. She had something she never had before. They were there for her and they supported her. They were there for the car rides and they were in the locker room. They are more than the best faction in WWE, they are family.
When she thinks about Wrestlemania, she thinks about moments and magic. She says she thinks about the best. She has to beat one of the best. That brings her to Rhea Ripley. Bayley looks at Iyo, Kairi, and Asuka.
She says she can fight a different fight. Sometimes it is not about having a championship. Sometimes it is personal and what is in your heart. It is about proving people they are wrong. Sometimes it is about people you thought were your friends. Sometimes you have to prove them wrong.
Bayley asks if they are done laughing. Bayley speaks to them in Japanese. She says she picked it up from all the times they talked about her behind her back. Bayley says she has done it all and seen it all. Why do you talk about her all the time. She says she wanted them to be the best and take this to the top and do it together. You see nothing in her?
She says they were so close when it started, but then Asuka and Kairi came in and you changed.
Asuka and Kairi hit Bayley from behind. They continue the attack on Bayley.
Bayley reaches behind the ring steps and grabs a lead pipe and she hits Asuka and Kairi with it. She hits Asuka and Kairi again and then she stands off with Iyo in the ring.

He says he had to think about it. Roman asks if he beat everyone who competed for that title? Doesn't that make them all number twos? Shouldn't that be called the Loser Bracket title. You can walk around for two years in your wife's clothes and call yourself THE Guy. You say you are a workhorse but you broke your back trying to carry that show. You want to attack his schedule? He says he works less than Seth, maybe ten times less than him. He says he makes ten times as much.
He asks the crowd if they want Seth money or Tribal Chief Money.
Cody is an idiot and he doesn't care about the money. Roman says he won't bet Cody, like the other guy. You can be the very best number two in this industry or you can take a crack at number one again.

It was the title Bruno held and the title his father had in his hands in Madison Square Garden but had it taken away. Cody says he still wants that title. Cody asks what is 'finishing the story'? He says he heard Roman say that all of this is his. This ring, the canvas, the ropes, the cameras, the announce desk, and all of you people belong to Roman.
