We are live from the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everrett, WA, as Charlotte Flair makes her way to the ring to start the show.
Charlotte says they say the only thing more dangerous that ignorance is arrogance and that got the best of Becky Lynch. She refused medical attention and attacked Stephanie McMahon. It was her behavior that got Becky suspended. Charlotte says she hopes Becky is okay for Wrestlemania. Charlotte says she knows someone who is 100% healthy and would like to face Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania. Charlotte points to the Wrestlemania sign.

Becky says The Man is back on Smackdown. Charlotte says that Becky is limping on Smackdown.
Becky and Charlotte talk over each other until… HHH’s music plays!
Hunter tells Becky to her face that she is suspended and that she needs to go home and see the doctor. With Charlotte taunting in the background, Triple H tells Charlotte to get out of the ring. “See the doctor, get cleared,” says Triple H to Becky. Becky admits that she doesn’t trust any of the authorities doctors, because she doesn’t want her opportunity taken away. Triple H tells Becky to go home. Becky fires back by asking Triple H how Steph is after she punched her in the face. Triple H, who was about to leave, says that he bought into the Man gimmick, but now believes Becky is just a self-destructor. He theorizes that Becky is doing whatever she can to look for a way out.
Crowd tries to start a Becky chant, but Triple H tells them to shut their mouths. He reminds Becky of her reckless decisions that lost her the Survivor Series match with Ronda. Triple H then pokes at Becky…”Is your knee even injured?” Triple H says that Becky is scared. Scared not that the doctors won’t clear her, but that she will be cleared…and Ronda Rousey will expose her as the fraud she is. “You will prove to everyone…that Becky Lynch fears Ronda Rousey,” growls Triple H.
Becky slaps Triple H across the face. The two share an epic staredown, with Hunter’s anger boiling, but Becky just smiling. She eventually leaves through the crowd, the same way she came into the arena.
