Bayley and Sasha Banks say that Paige failed in ruining their friendship. 

Bayley states that she retained her belt because she's the best before looking over at Sasha and backpedaling. "We're the best." 

Tamina interrupts them. At WrestleMania, it took all four competitors to pin her. One has to think in a one-on-one match, Bayley may have a difficult time taking her down. 

Bayley tries to suck up, but Tamina shuts it down. She demands that Bayley face her one-on-one for the SmackDown Women's Championship. 

Banks denies the title bout for Bayley, but the champ says Tamina can have the match if she can beat Banks next week.

Sasha is not pleased at all. Tamina agrees and looks into Sasha's eyes. "Sis, your best friend just screwed you."

We get a highlight of the Firefly Fun House match, with John Cena disappearing after the Fiend defeated him. "Hey, John. We really can't see you." 

Wyatt turns his attention towards Strowman, saying he's happy for his former brother.

Wyatt says Strowman turned his back on his own creator, but he could try to forgive him. Most of the puppets say no, except for Ramblin Rabbit. 

Bray asks for Braun to apologize. If he does, all will be forgiven. He says that he's taught him a lot already, and now it's time to teach him about sharing the Universal Title. 

Strowman says that whenever he's ready, the Champ is ready to "LET HIM IN."
