Kevin Patrick is in the ring with Bianca. He asks Bianca what is going through her mind now that she knows who her opponent is on Saturday. Bianca says she wants Carmella to come to the ring so she can say this to her face. After beating four others last week, Carmella cheap shotted her. Carmella has to resort to cheap tricks to get to her. People do not respect Carmella because Carmella does not respect herself. Carmella has the potential to be great but she is so insecure that she cannot see her talent. Carmella has “IT” but if she wants to step to her on Saturday, she better bring “IT”. If Carmella thinks she has what it takes, why wait until Vegas. Come out here and show everyone that you can step to me face to face.
Carmella’s music plays and she makes her way to the ring. Carmella says that Bianca is so wrong about her. She is not insecure. She says she is smart. She has it all. They don’t respect her because of how she looks. She is the total package and she will not apologize for that. She reminds everyone of what she has accomplished. If she is not give the respect she deserves, she will take it, just like Bianca’s title on Saturday.
Kevin asks Bianca if she respects Carmella. Bianca blocks a kick and sends Carmella to to the floor.

Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair makes her way to the ring.
Bianca says she was looking forward to her title match against Rhea Ripley at Money in the Bank. She says she wishes she did not have to break this news to everyone, but Rhea will not be medically cleared in time to compete at Money in the Bank. When Rhea returns, I will be right here waiting and ready. Until then, the question remains who do I defend my title against at Money in the Bank? Tonight, we have five women, Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan, Carmella, Asuka, and Becky Lynch. They will be in a Fatal Five Way Match to see who faces her at Money in the Bank.
Becky Lynch interrupts and makes her way to the ring.
Becky says there is only one contender and it is her. She still hasn’t gotten her one-on-one rematch after having the greatest women’s match in Wrestlemania history. I had the match won at Hell in a Cell. You stole it from me. I am tired of being mistreated and having to jump through hoop after hoop because after I win the match tonight, it will make winning my title back so much sweeter.
Asuka interrupts and she laughs and asks Becky if she is crying.
Becky tells Asuka if she spent less time making Simpsons meme, you would remember that your shoulders were on the mat in our last few matches.
Liv Morgan comes out and she says Becky shouldn’t just worry about Asuka because she is always ready for a fight. Liv says she is in a great mood because she has already earned her spot in Money in the Bank, something you haven’t been able to do yet. I will gladly trade that in for an opportunity to go one on one against Bianca Belair at Money in the Bank.
Carmella comes out and she says something does not add up. She knows why she is in this match but why is Liv in this match? Carmella asks who thinks we should kick this lovable loser out of the match to make it a Fatal Four Way.
Liv says she has been here and if you want to talk to her like that again, she will make sure you get a few more weeks off.
Carmella says that is some big talk for someone who got into the Money in the Bank match by riding on Alexa Bliss’ coattails.
Speaking of Alexa, she makes her way out and says that Carmella loves to name drop. Alexa asks if she should name drop the person who helped her win Money in the Bank. Alexa says that Carmella has never been successful on her own. She tells Carmella to stop being a hypocrite and messing with Liv.
Bianca stops all of the bickering and Bianca says it sounds like everyone is ready for action.

Lynch is in the ring and she says there is only one woman responsible for how hot the women’s division is. She says it’s so hot we have the likes of Lita, Mickie James and the Bella Twins coming back to try and challenge the Van Goat at WrestleMania. Becky says they need her because she makes stars. Just look at Doudrop, nobody was clamouring for her to get a title match and she didn’t even earn it, Becky gave it to her. She makes people better, then she beats them.
Lynch says Doudrop came from the rolling hills of Scotand and made a name for herself. Oh wait, no she didn’t, someone else made her name for her. So let her set things straight: a Doudrop will never lead the division while she’s there. Doudrop took umbridge with something Becky said because she’s on her way down to the ring. She says Becky didn’t get her anything, and if she planned for this then it was the biggest mistake she’s ever made. Becky says she did get her the win and if she follows her lead she’ll get her a win this week as well.
Bianca Belair comes out and says Becky thinks she’s the greatest but uou can’t spell greatest without Est. Bianca says Becky was so scared of facing her again that she helped Doudrop win. Well Becky is only buying time because she will be entering the Royal Rumble match. And it’s every woman for themselves and she doesn’t care who she has to eliminate to main event WrestleMania again. Of course, out comes Liv Morgan and she says they shouldn’t be overlooking her because she’s in the Rumble too. The four of them almost brawl.

Doudrop broke up the pin attempt and then all Hell broke loose with everyone attacking each other until Becky hits Morgan with the Manhandle Slam but Doudrop breaks up the pin attempt. Doudrop drags Becky over to the corner but doesn’t have the sense to tag herself in and the referee won’t count it, so she goes back over and tags herself, then crossbodies Liv and pins her.

Back from the break and RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch is in the ring as her entrance wraps up.
Lynch says here we are in 2022 and there’s something about the new year that inspires hope in people. It doesn’t matter if you failed last year, the past 5 years, or your whole life, things can change for the better when the clock strikes. Lynch knows all the women in the back have a title win at the top of their lists, and she admires their dedication, but at the top of her list is remaining champion. Lynch goes on about how no one can beat her. Many have tried, but they all fail.
Lynch goes on about decisions she made in the last year. She realized she’s become a work of art. She compares herself to a Van Gogh painting and says she makes us feel because that’s what good art does. Becky insults people for having New Year’s Resolutions, takes a shot at South Carolina, and says the women in the back won’t be winning the title. Becky then takes shots at Liv Morgan. She says Liv broke her promise to herself, and the promise she had to all of the fans. The music interrupts and out comes Morgan to the stage.
Morgan says new year but same ugly jacket and same delusional Becky. Liv says she knows, and Becky knows, just how close she was to winning the title on Saturday. Liv enters the ring and talks about how she gives it her all and leaves it all in the ring every time she gets the chance, and that’s exactly what she did at Day 1. Becky says that’s lovely and maybe one day Liv will win the title but not until Becky retires. The music interrupts and out comes Bianca Belair. Belair talks some trash on her way to the ring and says she took a little Doudrop Detour, stepping aside to allow others a shot at the title, but now she’s back in line for Big Time Becks.
Lynch says Morgan and Belair have just fallen victim to her routine – beat, sleep, repeat. Lynch talks some more trash and Liv mentions how she knows nothing about the locker room because she hasn’t been in there in years. Liv tells Belair to leave because she and Becky were in the middle of something. Belair says her history with Becky goes back farther. Becky tells them to get out of her ring but figure out who’s going to be next, and then let her know. Belair and Morgan end up attacking Becky and tossing her from the ring. Becky’s title is still in the ring. Belair and Morgan have words now. They start brawling and Belair rams Liv back into the corner for shoulder thrusts. Liv fights her off and drops her with a step-up kick. The brawl continues and Belair goes for the KOD but Becky decks them both from behind. Becky drops Belair with the Manhandle Slam while Liv looks on from ringside, down on the floor. Becky picks her title back up, raises it in the air, and makes her exit as the music hits.
