Out first is Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair.

Becky Lynch comes out and says she will win, Asuka comes out laughing and makes fun of Lynch, Liv Morgan comes out says she is always ready for a fight and is already qualified to be in the Money in the Bank ladder match but she would gladly turn that in for a match for the championship.
