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.

Becky Lynch & Doudrop Vs Bianca Belair

Belair and Doudrop start proceedings and Bianca uses her speed to duck and dodge Doudrop, as well as tease her. Bianca attempts a suplex but can’t get her up and Doudrop lands one of her own. Becky tags herself in but wastes time talking to Doudrop, allowing Morgan to tag in and run over Becky with clotheslines, dropkick and a bulldog.

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.

Winners: Becky Lynch & Doudrop

After the match Doudrop goes to the corner and hits a rope-assisted splash to Becky and poses.

We see Bianca Belair walking backstage. She has a challenge for Bayley tonight. Back to commercial.

We go back to the ring and out comes SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair to a pop. Belair swings her hair and hits the ring with a mic.

Belair says ever since she won the title from Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 37, Bayley has been so pressed, but she hasn’t done anything about it but just laugh. Belair says Bayley should realize the WWE Universe isn’t laughing with her, but at her, because what’s so funny? Belair admits Bayley’s laugh is getting to her, more than she actually thought it would. Belair says Bayley isn’t the first person to try her. Belair goes on about how people have been trying her since she was 3 feet tall. She left all those people in the dust as she found success. Fans cheer her on. Belair says she has dealt with the teasers, doubters and bullies, but after all she’s been through she’s never had someone laugh at her in her face. That’s utter disrespect and she’s not standing for that.

Belair says this is what she proposes… she challenges Bayley and wants Bayley to take her cackling self and meet her in the ring at Hell In a Cell. Belair promises Bayley won’t be laughing then. Bayley, what’s good? Belair is waiting but Bayley is nowhere to be seen. Belair asks if she’s going to come accept this challenge, or what? We start hearing Bayley laugh but we don’t see her. Belair is looking around. Bayley finally appears on the big screen and taunts Belair. Bayley has been laughing at people like Belair her whole life. Bayley says she’s even there tonight, she’s live via satellite. We see Bayley sitting in a room with photos of herself all over the walls, she calls it her sanctuary where she finds peace.

Bayley accepts the challenge and says when she beats Belair for the title, she will be laughing but she won’t be the only one laughing. Bayley continues laughing while Belair raises the title in the air. The ThunderDome screens in the arena go dark and start filling up with Bayley’s satellite feed, of her laughing. Belair looks around terrified.
