We see Stephanie McMahon backstage with the Raw’s Women’s Team. She gives them a pep talk and says she was incredibly impressed with the attack on SmackDown last week. Stephanie says that last year Team Raw won and she expects the same tonight. Stephanie turns to Asuka and says that they brought her to Raw because she was undefeated in NXT for over 700 days, and she still is, so go out there tonight and break every bone in Becky Lynch’s body. She turns to Sasha Banks and says they’ve had their differences but she wants her to bring all of that confidence to the match tonight. As for Bayley, well the time for hugs is long gone and she knows what Bayley can do when she wants something, so go out there and win for Raw. Next is Nia Jax, who gets a good reaction from the fans, and Stephanie tells her that she is the most dominant woman there is and instructs her to throw Carmella into the crowd. And finally, Alicia Fox, the captain. Stephanie asks her if she is ready to lead the team, then asks again when she isn’t satisfied with the fire in Fox’s belly. Stephanie gives them one last rally cry and sends them to the ring and they take off running.
