SEGMENT
As Warfare came back from commercial 'Papercut' by Linkin Park hit and Alexa Bliss came down to the ring.

Mauro Ranallo: Here comes Alexa Bliss who last week alongside Tam Nakano defeated Ronda Rousey and Raquel Diaz.

As Bliss entered the ring she grabbed a mic.

Alexa Bliss: Let's not waste anytime her. Ronda, get out here.

'Bad Reputation' hit and the crowd booed as Ronda Rousey came out on the stage with a mic.

Alexa Bliss: Now, ever since you attacked me a few weeks ago, I've been wondering why? Now, I'm no saint by any means but usually when someone attacks me it's because I've done something to them. But I haven't done anything to you. So, what's your problem?

Ronda Rousey: My problem with you is the fact that I have not been given a lot of opportunities since I came here which is unacceptable. I'm an MMA legend. I put women's MMA on the map. I'm the Baddest Woman on the Planet and I get passed over in favor of people like you. You piss me off the most because you've been given hundreds of opportunities at the Women's Championship and you fail every time.

The crowd booed.

Ronda Rousey: I'm tired of waiting for my opportunities. I'm going to start taking them and I'm going to start by taking you out and I'm going to do it one on one in a match.

The crowd cheered and Alexa motioned for Ronda to bring it.

Ronda Rousey: But not tonight.

The crowd booed.

Ronda Rousey: We're gonna have a match. It's going to be on the biggest stage. It's going to be at Wrestlemania.

Alexa smirked.

Alexa Bliss: You wanna go at it at Wrestlemania? Fine. But I want to ensure that there will be no restrictions. So, how about we make it a hardcore match?

The crowd cheered.

Alexa Bliss: No Count Outs. No Disqualifications, and Falls Count Anywhere. How about that you overhyped bitch?

Ronda Rousey: You're on.

The crowd cheered.

Ronda Rousey: But I want this to be official, so we're gonna have a contract signing next week so you can't back out.

Alexa Bliss: Fine, but I want you to remember this at Wrestlemania when you're a broken failure. I want you to remember that you brought this on yourself.

'Papercut' played as Warfare went to commercial.


MATCH THREE


Mauro Ranallo: Still to come, the Women's Champion Tam Nakano is in action against Becky Lynch, and AJ Styles takes on Raven in the Breakout/Gateway Championship Tournament.

Nigel McGuinness: Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa helped Finn Balor and Raven win their tag match against Jungle Boy and Paul London last week... they distracted Jungle Boy, then took out Luchasaurus at ringside! Finn Balor was apparently unhappy with their involvement, which is why he's not at ringside tonight.

As they reached the ring, Luchasaurus climbed onto the ring apron, allowing Jungle Boy to start the match. Across the ring, Tanga Loa moved onto the apron and the referee called for the bell.

As Tama tried to get to his feet, Luchasaurus ran against the ropes, but as he hit the ropes, Tanga Loa tripped him up!

Luchasaurus kicked out. Tama whipped Luchasaurus into the corner and hit him with the Stinger Splash, then tagged in Tanga Loa. Loa lifted Luchasaurus up, hitting the running powerslam, then hooked the leg. The referee counted – 1... 2... Luchasaurus kicked out. Loa tagged Tama Tonga back in, and as he entered the ring Tama kept Luchasaurus grounded, putting him in a half crab.

Mauro Ranallo: The Guerrillas of Destiny working well together here, Nigel... those quick tags are giving Luchasaurus no time to recover or make a comeback.

Nigel McGuinness: They're very effective as a tag team, Mauro... Luchasaurus could be in trouble if he doesn't make a tag soon!

Luchasaurus was able to get to the ropes and the referee ordered Tama to break the hold. Tama did so, then stomped on Luchasaurus several times.

Nigel McGuinness: Our Women's Champion is in action here tonight against the hard-hitting Becky Lynch.

"Celtic Invasion" hit and Becky stepped out onto the stage to a mixed reaction.

Mauro Ranallo: Becky has been on the hunt for the EBWF Women's Championship and this could be her opportunity for a match in the future.

Nigel McGuinness: Forget about an opportunity in the future. Becky Lynch believes she deserves an opportunity right now!

Tam Nakano was next out. The Women's Championship was firmly around her waist and after she had entered the ring, the referee rang the bell. Tam went to hit Becky with a running knee, but Lynch ducked out of the way and hit Tam with a big boot. Lynch came off the ropes, but as she ran back towards Tam, the Women's Champion countered with a codebreaker for a near fall. As both women got to their feet, Tam went for a running hip attack, but Lynch moved out of the way. Lynch then took Tam down to the mat, applying the Dis-Arm-Her!
