Bayley walks in HALLWAY.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Bayley makes her way to the ring.

Bayley responds to the welcome home chants by saying she is home.  She says she came out last week to talk to Roxanne Perez because she cares about her and what she has done for the women's division.  All it got her was a slap in the face.  Bayley says Roxanne said she was acting like CM Punk and Natalya.  She says that is a compliment.  She says they built the foundation.  Natalya taught her how to give back.  Bayley says she is here to make sure that she gets rid of entitled little idiots like Roxanne.

Bayley mentions that Roxanne came to Smackdown and talked trash to her in her match against Tiffany Stratton.  Then she went to Raw and Roxanne put her hands on her during her match with Nia.  That means you are not ready to be on Raw or Smackdown.  You are not ready to be a leader in the locker room.  There are so many girls who are looking for a chance and with a champion like Giulia.

Giulia interrupts and she makes her way tot he ring.

Giulia says coming from Japan she saw Bayley and said she wanted to be in NXT.  She says Roxanne may not look up to you, but she does.  She says she hopes to hold this title with as much honor and love for NXT as Bayley did.

Bayley says she has so much respect for Giulia and she was so happy to see her win the title from Roxanne.  This title changes your career and your life.  It means so much to everyone.  It changed the landscape of the women's division.

Roxanne Perez is not going to miss the opportunity to interrupt and she comes out with Cora Jade.

She says she cannot believe Bayley would be able to show her face after two straight losses.  She tells Bayley to stop acting so innocent.  If you cared about the future, you wouldn't have punched her in the face.  

Cora says she was a naive Bayley fan.  She says Bayley is not a role model.  Cora tells Bayley to leave.  She says Giulia should hand that title back to Roxanne because no one can carry it like Roxanne did.  Cora says they have been holding it together since Day One.

Roxanne says she has something important to say to Bayley.  She says she is not going to take anything away from what Bayley has done.  You won the Royal Rumble and you have inspired girls like her and Cora, but her services are no longer needed.

Roxanne says she knows why Bayley is here.  She says she saw Bayley looking at the title and you want to be the number one woman in the best women's division.  Tell Giulia the real reason you are here.

Bayley and Giulia attack Cora and Perez.  Giulia sends Perez into the turnbuckles and Cora is sent to the floor by Bayley.

Jaida Parker is in LOCKER ROOM and she says Bayley mentioned her name two weeks in a row.

Kelani Jordan says that Bayley mentioned her name too.

Karmen Petrovic interrupts and says love is in the air.

Kelania argue with Zaria and Sol.

Jaida talks about how Adonis is going to leave her and says he is Nikkita's man.

Cora, Bayley, Giulia, and Roxanne continue to fight in the ring and around the ring.

Officials show up and Giulia punches Cora.  Roxanne attacks Bayley from behind and goes after Giulia.  They are briefly separated until the women are able to break free.

Cora and Roxanne are finally escorted to the back.  

Bayley and Giulia follow and they continue to brawl while officials try to do their jobs.

After the match, Wes says so much for championship quality.  He challenges Trick Williams to a match next week.

Trick comes out and he takes care of Tyson and Tyriek.  Trick punches Wes and he sends him over the top rope to the floor.

Trick accepts the challenge.

Trick bumps into Dion as he goes to the back and Dion has a look on his face.

Lexis King says he told you he could do it.  He says he didn't start off the best.  He says he has turned a new leaf.  He doesn't want people to see him as a loose cannon.  He says he is not his father's son.  People are starting to take notice.  Lexis says he told you he could become a champion.  

Charlie Dempsey says it is a disgrace for Lexis' name to be on the trophy.  

Lexis says he won't be able to win them all over, but slow and steady.

We are back and Sarah announces that Luca Crusifino and Channing Lorenzo will face Niko Vance and Brooks Jensen tonight.

Stephanie Vaquer shows up and she says she wants the North American Title.  She says she is not going to stop because Fallon wants to play with her opportunity or because Shotzi benefited from the opportunity.  She tells Shotzi if she wins, she will meet hell.  She tells Fallon she can run, but she cannot hide from the Diablo.
