We see a replay of Becky Lynch Vs. Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania. The RAW Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch, makes her entrance.
Lynch says it’s only been a couple of weeks since she last stood in the ring. WrestleMania, where she beat the human bone breaker, Shayna Baszler. So let her clear up some confusion. She said it would be a battle of heart vs. skill but it was really a battle of minds. A lot has been said about her lately; that she is arrogant but maybe she just wants people to think that.
So why would she put up her defences like that? Because the only person that can destroy the Queen is the joker, and that’s because the joker isn’t a threat. Lynch says that whoever wins the Money In The Bank briefcase, she will have a game plan and she will shock the world once again.

She says Andrade has been defending his title month after month, against the best WWE has to offer. And the last time Drew was Champion, Andrade beat him.

Charly Caruso interviews Rey Mysterio backstage and asks him what it would mean to win the Money In The Bank. Rey says that 2010 was the standout year of his career; he won his second WWE Championship but Kane cashed-in his MITB and took his title. The point being, nobody knows as much as him how dangerous that briefcase is. He has a lot of respect for Murphy, who will be a future Champion, but this year is his time. Booyaka.
