We begin with a look back at the end of Smackdown when we found out the fifth member of Bloodline Classic for War Games.
Bianca Belair makes her way to the stage and she is joined by Naomi, Iyo Sky, Bayley, and Rhea Ripley.
They make their way to the ring while we see how Jade was ‘removed’ from the War Games match and how Bayley helped Bianca Belair beat Nia Jax to get the advantage at War Games.
Rhea says she knows it is obvious that not everyone on this team is the best of friends. She says none of that matters. Tomorrow night, we all step into one of the most dangerous matches in WWE, War Games. They all have someone they want to get their hands on. Tomorrow night, this all ends when they step into that steel cage. No one will be able to stop them from brutalizing those women.
Think about everything they have done to them.
Naomi says Nia and her little lap dogs are going to get what they deserve and then some. They have been nothing but a pain in hers and Bayley’s side. She promises the glow is going to be felt.
Bianca says they know that one of them took out Jade last week and they are all going to get it tomorrow.
Rhea tells Liv she is going to wish she never met her.
Iyo says they will destroy you.
Liv Morgan’s music interrupts and she makes her way to the stage behind Raquel Rodriguez. They are joined by Tiffany Stratton, Candice LeRae, and Nia Jax.
Liv says it is funny to see how confident they are thinking they are going to win. Liv cackles.
Nia asks Bianca if she had a brain fart and forgot that Bayley and Iyo torched her for years. Or does Bayley remember Iyo stabbing her in the back. What they have done is nothing compared to what they have done to each other. You will implode before the match.
Naomi tells them to shut up.
Bayley says that Tiffany doesn’t realize that Nia is manipulating her and that Candice knows her way about the ring and she can manipulate things. You might not have friends after War Games.
Nia says Bayley knows about having no friends and she calls Bayley a big idiot. Liv cackles in approval.
Liv says they are a united front. Liv says she thinks it is real interesting that Jade is attacked and you are on the War Games team.
Rhea tells Liv to shut up and stop wasting everybody’s time. Soon, you are not going to be able to hide behind anyone. When you step into the cages, there will be nowhere to run and you will have to face her.
Liv says Rhea is right and that is why she is going to put her money where her mouth is and she will finish off Rhea.
Rhea calls Liv sweet and naive and that she will cave in Liv’s face so bad that Dom won’t want to look at you.
Liv tells Rhea nice try and they will see them tomorrow.
They walk up the aisle, but Rhea says she hates waiting so they chase Liv and her partners up the aisle and we have a brawl as everyone pairs off.
Officials and referees make their way to ringside to try to separate everyone.
We go to commercial.
