Raw Women鈥檚 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.

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鈥 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.
