Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair makes her way to the ring but she is not dressed for her match against Bianca Belair.
Charlotte wants to know where the balloons are for her and where is the roster on the stage? Where are the thank you Charlotte chants since this is her last Raw before she goes to Smackdown. Tonight, she has to defend her title against a rookie? This is bull crap. Charlotte says this is a conspiracy since Bianca is not on the roster yet. Bianca has two title matches this week.
Charlote says it is convenient Bianca gets a rematch before she comes to Raw. You call that favoritism. You should go to the back of the line. You will learn how far you have to go to. You have beaten Bayley and Sasha. You can save your EST stuff for someone who is not the best of all time.
Bianca Belair's music plays and she makes her way to the stage.
Bianca says this isn't a conspiracy or favoritism, this is just desserts. She says she has proven that she belongs here so she deserves this rematch. Bianca says if Charlotte wants to bring up two weeks ago, I had you beaten until you were saved by Becky. You are throwing a temper tantrum because you have to defend your title and leave Raw. It is okay. No matter what brand I am on, I am the one to watch because I always shine. Lucky for you, I won't be your problem any more because you won't go here any more.
Bianca tells Charlotte to take as much time as she needs to say good bye to that title. Use the loss to make you stronger, tougher, and even a little kinder. I am going to take that title with me to Raw and when I return from Crown Jewel, I will have the Raw championship on one arm and the Smackdown title on the other.
