After a video package for the Women’s Championship match, we see Alexa Bliss backstage with Charly Caruso. Alexa is asked about the comments made between the two, to which Alexa asks if she means when Mickie called her “biscuit butt”? She says she isn’t even sure what that means, she likes her butt, it’s cute – that got quite the cheer from the crowd. Alexa makes one more age jab at Mickie James, then walks off. Mickie is out first, looking to mark her 7th title win, equalling Trish Stratus’ record.
