We see Rhea Ripley waking up at 5:30 am.  She says she doesn't have to get up this early but she wants to be the best person she can be.  She wants to organize things better.  Working out early makes her day better.  She says she finished 2019 at the highest of her career.  2020 has been downhill so far.  Rhea is asked about what happened at Wrestlemania and she says it is 2020.

Rhea says she is thinking about this Sunday and stepping into the ring with Io and Charlotte.  That is why she is working to get better and better.  She wants her title back.  Rhea says she saw an opportunity after Charlotte won the Royal Rumble.  It was her opportunity to go to Wrestlemania and have the dream match she wanted.  Peter says Rhea had everything going for her and then she ran into Charlotte Flair.  Rhea says she has only scratched the surface of being champion.  It will be so much sweeter to win the title back since it has been on all three brands.

Sam mentions Io Shirai.  He says when Io walks into an arena, all eyes are locked on her.  Beth Phoenix mentions Io's background in wrestling.  Peter compares Io to AJ Styles.  Natalya says Io is one of the best wrestlers in the world.  She has a mystique about her.  Pat McAfee calls her a wolverine or spider monkey.  He thinks Io will win on Sunday.
