We see what happened over the last two weeks on Raw to set up the Triple Threat Match for the Raw Women’s Championship.
Becky welcomes everyone to Raw. She says it feels so good to do that again and welcome people to Raw. She says she didn’t feel up to it without her title. She didn’t feel like putting on a brave face and smiling when so many of you prayed for my downfall. So many of you hope i never get my hands on that title again. Lucky for me I don’t live for you. I live on spite and coffee and I feel pretty fueled up. Some people collect stamps or friends, but I collect enemies. That means I am on track. I am days away from getting my title back at Hell in a Cell. I know the odds are stacked against me but that never stopped me before. I defy convention.
Let’s go back to Money in the Bank 2020 when Asuka won the briefcase. She earned her way to the top like I knew she could. That is why when I went to create life like the God I am, I generously gave Asuka the greatest gift of her career. I handed her my title. Even then, I had a plan. I knew Asuka was the best, but I could beat her. Asuka would hold the title until I came back and I would win the title again. I created a selfish, entitled monster by handing her the title.

Bianca says both of y’all need to stop. I am not crying and complaining about defending my title in not just a one-on-one match, but a Triple Threat Match where I can lose the title without being pinned. I like to do my talking in the ring. I will have a lot to say during our match tonight. She says she cannot wait to give Becky a piece of her mind on Sunday. Bianca says she is sure that this title is 100% not going anywhere. If I have to, I will 100% drop you like I did at Wrestlemania.

The Cody chants got louder and louder and louder. All I hear in my sleep is Cody Cody Cody and I can’t stand it any longer.
You left WWE six years ago because you weren’t good enough. Then every single day you were gone, you and your little friends tried to tear down what I was building here. When that didn’t work out so well, you came running back. The prodigal son coming home to fulfill his family legacy. Not on my watch. You don’t get to be the conquering hero in my kingdom. You don’t get to take a sledgehammer to the throne and then take that throne from me.
