Paige, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, The Iconics, Asuka, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Lana, Zelina Vega, Carmella, and Naomi In-Ring Segment: 

Paige brings out SmackDown Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch. When you are the hottest thing in the industry, any time away is a bad thing. Becky invaded Raw, she fought and she bled. She tried to fight at Survivor Series, but she was held back. Becky is putting herself back in the ring. She had to watch someone else fight Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series and she wants to deal with it now. Becky calls out Charlotte. Becky told Charlotte to give the beating she would have given Ronda, but she almost did it If she did it, Ronnie wouldn’t be standing. It took Charlotte channeling The Man to take it to Ronda.

Charlotte wasn’t trying to be Becky, she was being herself, the seven time women’s champion and the only woman on either roster capable of giving Ronda the beating she deserves. Charlotte is more capable because she is genetically superior and she has the mindset to do any solitary thing to get the job done. Charlotte went from copying her old man to The Man. Nia must have hit Becky harder than she thought. She went from quirky to delusional. Becky continues to ride her coattails. The Queen stands out in the crowd and she will be at TLC. She was the one born ready.

Charlotte did not fight for Becky, she fought for herself. She will fight Becky right now. Paige tells both of them to be quiet. Paige hasn’t seen this much fire from Charlotte since Becky arrived. She has not seen anyone with that much desire. Charlotte will get her title match against Becky. It will be a TLC match. Mandy Rose, The Iconics, Zelina Vega and Sonya Deville joins the conversation. This is a joke. How dare you say that no one has shown the desire that Charlotte has? Everyone is talking about what Charlotte did to Ronda. Any one of them could have done the exact same thing. Any of them deserve a title match.

Paige gave up on Absolution and now she’s giving opportunities to her old PCB buddies. Naomi’s music interrupts and she is joined by Asuka, Lana, and Carmella. Naomi heard what Mandy had to say and they agree. You will never question Naomi’s desire. The entire SmackDown Women’s Division is packed with talent. Any one of them can be champion. Becky continues to poke the bear. That’s the passion Paige is talking about. Each woman on the roster will be in a Battle Royal and the winner will be added to the match at TLC.

The New Day & The Miz Backstage Segment: 

AJ Styles In-Ring Promo: 

For fourteen days, AJ Styles has been without the WWE title. Those fourteen days seem a lot longer than the three hundred seventy-one days he had with the championship. He hates losing, but it is the way he lost that bothers him. Once Styles became the WWE Champion, he knew there would be a target on his back. Who knew the target would move somewhere else? Styles  knows what it is like to do anything to get what you want. It bothered him what Daniel Bryan did after the match and it was so severe he was not cleared to be at Survivor Series or last week’s SmackDown. He watched Daniel Bryan explain his actions from home. That’s a lot of BS and trash.

It does not matter if it is the new Daniel Bryan or the old Daniel Bryan, he is looking forward to smashing his face in. They don’t have to wait until TLC. However, Daniel Bryan is not here tonight. Bryan was not at the live events last weekend. It looks like someone has been watching Raw and getting ideas about how to do things. This is the house that AJ Styles built. Styles has never missed an event as champion. This was where he belonged. When you roll out of your hyperbaric chamber, make sure you are at TLC. Bryan can bring his dreams and excuses, but don’t forget to bring the title belt because it belongs to AJ Styles.

Michael Cole, Jeff Hardy and Samoa Joe In-Ring Segment: 

We’re honoring 20 years of Jeff Hardy in WWE. Michael Cole will be interviewing Hardy. Hardy thanks everyone for the support. He’s surprised with the major stunts he pulled off. This business has given him a way to express himself. It has allowed him to be the Charismatic Enigma. Hardy has lived the highest of highs and felt the lowest of lows. You have all stuck by his side. He would not be here without his wife Beth and his kids and he thanks everyone for making this night possible. This is not a retirement speech. He doesn’t know what will happen in the future, but let’s find out together.

Samoa Joe crashes the party. He apologizes for being tardy and he says he was going to pop some bottles with Hardy, but that might not be the best thing. Shane McMahon tries to take Joe’s mic, but Hardy says it is okay. It’s good that Hardy got to see that video because he probably wasn’t coherent when that happened. Joe doesn’t celebrate weakness and he doesn’t believe in second chances when people like him have not gotten their first.

What bugs him the most is that despite all of the mistakes Hardy has made, he’s okay with being put on a pedestal and it makes Joe sick. There have been just as many times that you have had people on your feet as you have let them down. People like you never change and the demons never leave, ready to take over. The next time you are powerless, Joe is willing to offer his hand.  It is a one step program that will be quick and won’t be painless. Joe cannot rain on his parade. He has almost ended his career twenty times in the twenty years. Let’s make this a moment right now. Joe heads to the backstage area.
