Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring.
Becky says it is good to be back. She says there is nothing more that she likes doing than stand in this ring and fight, but the Man has something to say. There was a time when no one was paying attention to her. Now everyone has an opinion about how The man should be acting and what The Man should be doing. Becky says the only thing The Man should be doing is main eventing Wrestlemania . . . and slapping the heads of everyone getting in her way.
She says that starts in five days at the Royal Rumble. Asuka. . . she has watched Asuka clean out NXT, steamroll her way through this and she is one of the best in the world.

Ronda versus Sasha. She has beaten Sasha more times than she can talk. She destroyed Ronda. Then you have Asuka versus Becky. Last year, I broke Asuka's undefeated streak. Becky . . .
