Bayley, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans, Naomi and Tamina Snuka In-Ring Segment 

Bayley: Well, Sash, here we are. We are little over a week away from WrestleMania. And this WrestleMania is too big for one night, so we’re doing two nights of WrestleMania. That’s right, WrestleMania is where the best of the best, compete on the grandest stage of them all.

Sasha Banks: Right, it’s supposed to be a magical night where anything can happen. Lives can change and dreams can come true.

Bayley: Anything is possible at WrestleMania. But this year, our WrestleMania is a nightmare. And, why? Because of Paige. Sad, irrelevant, pathetic, Paige. And she’s jealous of us, she’s jealous of our careers, she’s jealous of the whole year that I’ve had as SmackDown Women’s Champion and how dominant i’ve been. And she’s putting me in a match at WrestleMania for my championship, in what is now a fatal five way elimination. How is that fair? There’s one of me, there’s one champion, how is that fair?

Sasha Banks: It’s not fair. It’s not.

Bayley: Thank you. She thinks she’s so slick, she put you in the match.

Sasha Banks: Like she’s trying to put us against each other, like that’s gonna work, please.

Bayley: That’s not gonna work, that’s for sure. If anything, their plan is gonna backfire on them, because you and I, we’re best friends, we’re peanut butter and jelly, we’re better together, right? It’s us together, there’s no separation, right?

Lacey Evans: Bayley, your mouth is about as big as my hat is. You just can’t keep your damn mouth shut, can you? In fact, your little best friend here can barely get a word in.

Bayley: Oh, really? I got a word for you, loser. Hahaha, because I beat you already.

Sasha Banks: Why don’t you go preach to someone who would actually listen, maybe like your bratty little kid, unless she’s ashamed of you? Mommy, why do you keep on losing?

Lacey Evans: Good one. Look sweetheart, Bayley is right, WrestleMania will be a nightmare for the both of you. Because Sasha, you won’t able to say my daughters name, when I break your jaw with The Woman’s Right. And Bayley, I’ll finally be able to teach your nasty thing some manners and beat some respect into you, when I take that title away from you.

Naomi: You know Lacey, i’m with you, at least until we handle these two. Because Bayley, you and I both know, the mess that you pulled at Super ShowDown. Just like we know, you and I, got some unfinished business. And Sasha, why you are standing there, looking at me all stank? It’s gonna be a bonus when I snatch that blue wig off your head and become the three time SmackDown Women’s Champion, because the glow will shine the brightest once again on the grandest stage of them all.

Bayley: Alright look, this is not going to be one of those nights, where everyone interrupts everyone, and hits their music and they want to say something.

Tamina Snuka: Actions speak louder than words.

Tamina HeadButts Naomi. Tamina SuperKicks Evans. Bayley and Sasha repeatedly stomps on Naomi’s chest. Bayley and Sasha run away from Tamina to close the segment.
