Charlotte Flair & Bianca BelAir Segment 

Charlotte Flair: Sacramento! So, where’s my balloons? Where is champagne? Why is the Raw roster not lined up on the stage waiting to give me farewell hugs? I mean, people, where are my thank you Charlotte chants? I mean, this is my last night on Monday Night Raw before I’m officially drafted to SmackDown and I have to defend my title against some rookie? Bianca BelAir, some flash in a pan? No, seriously, this is bull crap. No, I really think there’s some kind of conspiracy against me. I mean, number one, Bianca isn’t even on the Raw roster yet. And, number two, Bianca has two, not one, but two title opportunities this week. One for the Raw title, and other for the SmackDown title, and you people say I’m entitled? No, seriously, all I wanted was a ceremony.

Excuse me, I suck? Sit down. What? What? What? No, listen, I wanted a fitted farewell for the most decorated woman in sports entertainment history. Now, listen, I find it kind of convenient that Bianca gets a rematch before I go to SmackDown and she comes to Raw. I mean, you want to talk about favoritism, I mean, she couldn’t even beat me two weeks ago. So, Bianca, get your ass in the back of the line. Because, Bianca, you can’t beat this opportunity. Not this time, not next time, not anytime. And tonight, you are going to learn how far you still have to go, sweetheart. Because you have beaten Bayley. You have beaten Sasha. But Becky couldn’t beat you on her own, because I am the mountain that you can’t climb. And you can save your EST nonsense for someone who isn’t the greatest to ever do this.

Bianca BelAir: A conspiracy? What, Charlotte? No, this isn’t a conspiracy or some favoritism. Charlotte, this is justice served. Because the way that I see it, I have done nothing but prove that I belong here. I show up, I show out, so I deserve this rematch tonight. And you sure you want to bring up what happened two weeks ago? Because the way that I remember it, I had you beat fair and square until you got saved by Big Time Becks. But you know what, Charlotte, I can’t even really believe that you’re even out here acting like this, like you’re literally throwing a temper tantrum because you have to defend your title and leave Raw?

Charlotte Flair: I just wanted a party.

Bianca BelAir: Baby, it is okay, because I’m the EST of WWE. And no matter what brand I’m on, I know that I’m the one to watch because I always shine. And lucky for you, oh, after tonight, I won’t be your problem anymore because you won’t even go here anymore.

Charlotte Flair: I made this title.

Bianca BelAir: You’re literally out here begging for your farewell, so take as much time as you need to say goodbye to that Raw Women’s Championship, because I’m gonna give you a little bit of advice. After you take this L tonight, dust yourself off, keep your head up high, because we all know life, it will bring you trials, tribulations and disappointments, but, Charlotte, use that to make you stronger, rougher, tougher, hell, maybe even a little bit kinder, you should try that. Because I’m gonna take that title with me to Crown Jewel. And when I return to Raw, I’m gonna have the Raw Women’s Championship on one arm and the SmackDown Women’s Championship on the other arm. Now, how’s that for a rookie, Charlotte?

Goldberg & Bobby Lashley Segment 

Corey Graves: Bobby, Goldberg, thank you both for joining. Goldberg, I wanna start with you. Last week, we saw Bobby Lashley respond to some of your previous threats saying things like, come Crown Jewel, …

Goldberg: I’m sorry, Corey, let me stop you right there, man. These aren’t threats. A threat’s something that I might do. At Crown Jewel, I’m gonna do exactly what I said I was gonna do. Beat Bobby Lashley within an inch of his life. And then I’m gonna finish the job, plain and simple.

Bobby Lashley: Goldberg, you do realize what you’re saying is not only nonsense but is criminal. Threatening the life of a man on live TV, I’m well within my rights to call the authorities and have your apprehended. But that’s not how The Almighty does business. I’m letting you run your mouth because when we’re in the ring, none of these threats will become reality. I’m untouchable. Crown Jewel’s ending the same way SummerSlam did. But this time, you won’t have any family members to fight your battles. Speaking of family, how does your son feel about this? About the kind of example you’re setting, having to explain to his friends what his dad just said.

Goldberg: Bobby, you may want to pick your words wisely. Because the more you talk about my family, the more I’m gonna make you suffer. So say whatever you want. In 72 hours, your ass is mine and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.

Bobby Lashley: You must have not been watching last week. You can’t kill The Almighty. You can only hope to survive. Bill, I want you to remember. Two weeks ago, when I made this match, no holds barred and you dropped to your knees, enjoy thanking the heavens. I want you to remember that moment this Thursday when it happens again. Only you’re not going to be thanking the heavens after the brutality and destruction I unleashed on you. You’re gonna be on your knees begging The Almighty for forgiveness.

Goldberg: Are you finished yet, dude, and you don’t actually believe all of that crap, do you?

Bobby Lashley: No, I’ll leave you with this, Bill. Up to this point, you fought Bobby Lashley with restrictions, but no holds barred means there’s nothing to stop me from ending your career. We’re done here.

Goldberg: Correction, we’ll be done at Crown Jewel. Safe travels, kill you Thursday, Bobby.
