Becky Lynch make her way to the ring.

Becky says we are on the Road to Wrestlemania and it has been crazy, wild, and confusing.  She says she loves that it has been unpredictable.  She says she loves this business so much.  She was 15 the first time she set foot in a wrestling ring and she has been obsessed.  The obsession has been great.  It is the reason she is traveling around the world and why she is around you people.  The reason why someone who failed gym class to become the first woman to win the main event of Wrestlemania.  It is where she met her husband and why she has her daughter.  That obsession is why she has missed birthdays, weddings, her own father's funeral.  She says she has had some difficult discussions with her daughter at age 3 because of why her face is bloody, why she can't pick her up, why her daddy wants to fight Maui.  She will see her body smashed against the steel, but she will see the brutality her mother is capable of.

Becky says she is obsessed with this and she is more obsessed with winning back the title she hasn't held in two years.  It means winning the Elimination Chamber and facing one of the toughest champions.  You love Mami and dig her.  You don't think anyone can beat her.  Becky says she ain't just anyone.  She ain't never faced anyone like her.  Whether you love her, hate her, love Becky, or hate Becky, she wants to make a toast for the wild journey and ride they are going to go on through Wrestlemania. 

She tels Rhea to enjoy her last few weeks as champion.

Nia Jax's music plays and she makes her way to the ring.

Nia tells Becky she knows they have had their differences but she has something to say and she asks to get in the ring with Becky.

Nia says if her mom was half the mother that Becky is, she would be so blessed.  Nia says one day when she becomes a mother, she can use Becky as an example.  Nia says Becky is going to win at Elimination Chamber.  With that passion and drive for your little girl, there is nothing that will stop you from winning that match and going to Wrestlemania.  Just like nothing is going to stop her from beating Rhea Ripley to become the champion.  At Wrestlemania . . .
