Backstage, Sami Zayn is all dressed up. He even has his hair in a bun. The Usos walk in and of course, Jey doesn’t give Sami the time of day. Jimmy is happy to see him. Zayn is all excited for Roman Reigns’ celebration tonight. Jey notes Paul Heyman should be here for this.
Jey asks Zayn how he can plan a party but not help him against his boy KO on Raw. Zayn doesn’t have a good answer. Jey storms off. Zayn asks Jimmy to tell Jey he’s doing his best. Jimmy gives Zayna a yeet and walks away. Zayn lets out a sad yeet as he is left in the locker room all alone.

In-Ring Segment: Ronda Rousey
Rousey says she has a letter from WWE Managment. She wants Adam Pearce to come to the ring and read it. Pearce walks to the ring and says none of this is personal and he was just doing his job. Rousey says she expected that response from him. Rousey forces Pearce to read the letter. Its states her suspension is over and she is on probation. Her actions weren’t ideal but they were not criminal in any way. Rousey rubs in the fact that she won here.
Pearce says this is ridiculous. If it was up to him, he would have fired her. Pearce goes on a rant about being underappreciated. He goes on to say that people call her “The Baddest Women on the Planet”, to him she is the biggest bitch on the planet. Pearce immediately apologizes and says that was the stress talking. Rousey hits a uranage suplex. before trapping Pearce in the Rousey Armbar.
