Bayley then says she was born to wrestle and it’s what’s most important to her. Bayley then says she puts her heart and soul into the ring, but she was robbed of a WrestleMania match two months ago when Becky Lynch took her out with an attack. Bayley then says she doesn’t put her body on the line day in and day out just for one moment or one night, then addresses Lynch and says Lynch would be wrong in thinking she broke her by attacking her just before WrestleMania since she only healed her and made her stronger. Bayley then says she’s coming for Lynch and will take everything she took from her, then calls Lynch out to the ring.

Becky Lynch’s music then hits and she makes her way down to the ring. Lynch says she and Bayley were never meant to be at the top of the business and she would prefer to have a legacy rather than fake friends. Bayley then says she’s built her legacy and is a future WWE Hall Of Famer and she’s therefore willing to bring the people with her. Lynch then says the people stopped fighting for her so she stopped fighting for the people and the same applies to Bayley as evident in the lack of reaction for her taking out Bayley before WrestleMania.

Bayley then says Lynch is insecure and so worried about what the fans think that she had to take her out. Lynch then says she had to take out Lyra Valkyria too because she couldn’t handle not knowing if the fans would cheer or boo her. Bayley then asks Lynch if she remembers what it feels like to have to fight for opportunities like WrestleMania and titles, then eggs Lynch on looking for a shot at Lynch’s Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Lynch then says if Bayley wanted a match she could have one, but not in Green Bay and not for her title. Lynch then tells Bayley that she will see her in Columbus at Evolution. Lynch then slaps Bayley and Bayley responds by hitting Lynch with a forearm. Lynch then slides out of the ring and retreats up the ramp.

We then see Jey Uso being interviewed by Cathy Kelley in the backstage area and addressed losing the World Heavyweight Championship. Jey says he beat GUNTHER at WrestleMania and gained his respect. Jey then says GUNTHER beat him and has his respect. Jey then says it’s 1-1 between them as far as he’s concerned. Jey then says GUNTHER could look past Seth Rollins and Goldberg, but they will eventually run it back, even if that meant he had to win the King of the Ring tournament.

Kairi Sane then makes her way down to the ring for the next match of the night. Michael Cole then hypes the SummerSlam Kickoff show for Saturday and says it will be available via WWE’s social media pages.

The Judgment Day’s WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan then makes her way down to the ring for the next match of the night.

Kross is seething as Zayn tells him that he is finished listening to him talk. Zayn then says King of the Ring is his priority, but the second that’s done he will go to Adam Pearce and he and Kross will have their match. Kross then says “It’s about time” before walking away.
