In the Arena:
Trish says when she first came to WWE, women’s wrestling was a joke. She single handedly changed everything. She says she brought credibility to the division. There was no Trish and Lita, it was her. She was the trailblazer. She was the women to main event Raw and the first woman to make you care about the women’s division. There would be no women’s revolution and no women in the main event of Wrestlemania. When Becky, Charlotte, and Ronda wrestled in the main event of Wrestlemania, you were chanting THIS IS AWESOME, but you should have been chanting Thank you Trish. You wouldn’t believe that if you listened to Becky.
You would believe that they created women’s wrestling and changed things. That is a joke, just like you Becky. I sat back and let it slide while you talked about being THE Man. Trish wondered if Becky believed her own hype. Trish says she had to find out for herself to buddy up to ole Becks. Not once did Becky thank her for opening the door for her. Not once did she say that she would be nothing without her. Not once did she say thank you Trish. She had Lita eating out of the palm of her hands but a year earlier she was being called out. She was Becky’s side kick at Wrestlemania.
Trish says she is no one’s side kick. Trish says it was getting a little sad. She says she had to put Lita out of her misery. The reason she needed Lita out of the picture was to make it crystal clear that the person who screwed Becky out of her titles was Trish. Becky, do you remember that moment when you put your arm around me and you said ‘good try Trish, we’ll get them next time friend’. We are not friends and there will be no more time. I took you out at that moment.
Trish says she wasn’t going to let any of you or Becky rewrite history. I am not a nostalgia act and I am not a side kick. I am the most important figure in the history of the WWE and I am here to make sure none of you forget it.

Cathy Kelley is with Cody Rhodes. She asks him if he is satisfied that Brock accepted the match. Cody says he is satisfied but he is also confused and bewildered. Cody says he is not standing here as the champion. He says he was held back by 20 security guards, not Brock. I have to apologize to Adam Pearce? The only way to get through this is to smash through it. I need to back him into a corner. I can’t let him win.
