– Bayley viciously attacked Iyo Sky after she was doing a pre-recorded promo at the WWE Performance Center.

Iyo Sky Promo 

Bayley started Damage CTRL because she was lost. It was never about helping out new talent. She saw an opportunity to latch onto us and get into the spotlight again. The only reason Bayley wanted us to succeed is so she could take the credit. She’s a narcissist who loves to claim she’s a victim. And now you all feel sorry for her? Your hypocrisy makes me sick. However, I know Bayley played a role in me becoming champion. But I made Bayley relevant. Dakota and I felt obligated to keep her around, but we got tired of her. We outgrew Bayley. So, I did what needed to be done. There was a time when I saw Bayley as my friend. And I’ll regret that for the rest of my life. She’s an embarrassment and is a tragedy to this company. I hope after WrestleMania I never see her again.

Jade Cargill Segment 

Nick Aldis: Ladies and gentlemen, we have some monumental business to attend to. But before that, I got a question for you. Are you ready for WrestleMania? My goal in becoming the SmackDown General Manager was to make this show the premiere show in all of professional wrestling and sports entertainment, for all of you in our WWE Universe. And I firmly believe that the acquisition of the following superstar takes me a giant step closer to that goal. So, if you all would please join me in welcoming the new member of the SmackDown Roster. Ladies and gentlemen, Jade Cargill.

Jade Cargill: Hell, if you ask me, Nick, it’s about damn time. And since we finally put pen to paper, let me make myself crystal clear. We have one of the best female rosters in the world. But they are not Jade Cargill. They are not the headline or a once in a lifetime superstar. Let me give you another weather update, the storm has arrived.

Santos Escobar, Dominik Mysterio, Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee Segment

Santos Escobar: You know, I hate to be that guy, but I told you so. And I want you to remember, and never forget, especially you little kids with Rey Mysterio masks. It was me that put Rey Mysterio on the shelf. Now, I didn’t get the full amputation and everything, but I got next best thing. I got to beat Rey Mysterio in the center of this ring last week. He is the greatest luchador of all-time or at one time he was. I outsmarted you, Rey. And all it took was one phone call. Just one phone call to a man who despises you as much as I do. Sorry about this, Dom. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. And I want to apologize. I know we didn’t see eye to eye at first. And I’ve said this before, but now I can say it to your face. You were right.

Dominik Mysterio: I will do everything in my power to make that dead-beat’s life a living hell.

Santos Escobar: You see what you did, Rey? You always turn your back on the people who loves you.

Rey Mysterio: Dom, Dom, Dom, what a shame. I truly believed that I was done fighting you, son. But now that Santos dragged you into this, and clearly you want to be part of it, I came to the realization that this moment, having both of you in front of me. The two men that I despise the most is truly a divine intervention. Oh, yes, and let me tell you why. I now have the opportunity to beat some respect into both of you. So let me spit out a challenge for you guys. How about both of you versus myself and a partner of my choosing, in a tag match at WrestleMania?

Dominik Mysterio: Which one of these dorks is going to be the one? The one from the Lollipop Guild? The one with the hair? The non Latino?

Rey Mysterio: It’s the newest member of The LWO. Dragon Lee.

AJ Styles & LA Knight Segment

AJ Styles: It’s been a little bit over a week. You know, you are the reason that he came to my house, and assaulted me in my own front yard. Yeah, I should’ve had his ass locked up, and rot in jail, and miss his first WrestleMania. Oh, but I got bigger plans for LA Knight. I want the biggest spotlight possible for LA Knight, and that is WrestleMania. And I will expose him for the overachieving, under talented piece of trash that he is. Yeah, I know Nick Aldis said, he asked LA Knight not to be here tonight, but I guarantee you that LA Knight is here. So, LA, are you going walk down the isle?

Is that where you are? Is that where you’re going to come out and make your presence known? Is this it? Well, come on. No? You can be anywhere. You can be up there with these idiots. It could be the camera man for all I know. What are you going to do? Nothing, get out of the ring. What are you disappointed that’s not LA Knight? Are we done with the games? LA Knight, if you could hear me, are we done with the games? Because I will not be playing any games at WrestleMania. And I swear, if I run into you tonight, I will knock your teeth down your throat.

LA Knight cosplayed as one of the security guards. Knight tees off on Styles. Knight grabs a steel chair and Styles bails out to the floor.

LA Knight: AJ, you talk about how I’m trash. You got to be one of the biggest piece of human walking waste I’ve ever seen. So, I’m going to tell you like this. Run, hide, do anything you need to, but at the end of the day, WrestleMania, I’m not going to ask you, I’m not going to tell you, you will know whose game this is with everybody saying, LA Knight. You’re damn right, YEAH!

When Paris Hilton said, when girls are born with glitter in their veins, she was talking about me. Everyone thinks life is so easier when you’re an insane athlete, have a gorgeous tan, have perfect pearly white teeth, and you’re a main event talent. But carrying the burden of perfection is not as easy as I make it look. To my adoring fans on SmackDown, I vow to always look hot, and keep your eyes away from the uggos. Two words for you babe, lip filler. Everyone is going to find out exactly what TiffyTime is all about. Tootles.
