Becky says she should have been here last week. She says she was interrupted by the entire women’s locker room. She says she did not get to talk about Bianca Belair. She is one hell of an athlete. Probably the most athletic woman we have ever had in WWE. She is the only other woman to win the main event of Wrestlemania. She says she was excited to go one on one with Bianca at SummerSlam. Now she is being portrayed as the bad guy.
Becky says her return saved your match at SummerSlam. When Sasha went down, the powers that be called for the biggest name. I have been wanting my title back since i left and you were not ready. You cannot cry that you are not ready. Because I haven’t played this game in a while, it doesn’t mean I can’t win. You can call yourself the EST and think you are the best, but we know that is a lie. You can fake it with some tricks and flips but you cannot fake experience.
Bianca Belair makes her way to the ring.
Bianca says that championship was more to her than a title. It was a part of her for 132 days and that moment at SummerSlam is etched in her mind. She came so far and lost all of it in 26 seconds. You know what? I was embarrassed and I am still hurt. What I want to do is build myself up by bringing another woman down. I will never make excuses for myself. You stand here mentioning my name like you know me but you don’t know me.
Bianca says she will explain why she is called the EST of WWE. I was the strongEST by beating three people. I proved I was the toughEST by rising to the top and then I will prove I am the greatEST. I earned a title match because you did not give me a match. It is a matter of when. Roman is defending his title tonight, so why not do the same thing as Roman because you are Big Moments Becks.
