Bayley says she should have never let Banks challenge Asuka to begin with. With Banks history of never being able to successfully defend the RAW Women’s title before. Bayley says she didn’t mean it like that. Banks says as long as Bayley has her back she can get through anything.
Banks says lucky for Bayley she is still her best friend. Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler appear on the tron. Jax says she hates Baszler but if it means she can get her hands on Banks and Bayley she’ll do what she has to do. Baszler says Jax actually sucks, but if teaming up with her will get Baszler those tag titles, screw it. Banks says she knows who she is and it doesn’t matter what Baszler and Jax say, they will walk out of Payback as champions.
