Dasha Fuentes is in the ring and she brings Charlotte Flair to the ring.
She also brings out Charlotte's opponent on Sunday, Ruby Riott. Ruby is not alone since she is joined by Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan.
Ruby is asked about the start of things, but Ruby interrupts and says that isn't where it all began and she calls Dasha ill informed.
Ruby says this all began November 14, 2017 when Charlotte became the Smackdown Women's Champion. All her life, Charlotte has been set up for success. Charlotte was the perfect woman. She is tall, blonde, athletic, cunning, and the daughter of a two time WWE Hall of Famer. When Charlotte won the title, she was the first to win the NXT, Divas, Raw, and Smackdown Women's Championships. Ruby says she watched as the myth began to form.
The myth that Charlotte Flair was the personification of the Women's division. That is why two weeks after you won the title, she formed the Riott Squad, with one sole purpose. To destroy the myth.
Charlotte says the only myth that exists about her is that anything has been handed to her. She has had to work harder because of who she is. Charlotte says she has the weight of expectations on her shoulders. She asks how hard that is to live up to. If she fails, it is magnifies and reflects on her family. She cannot succeed, she has to be transcendent. That proves that she has transcended any myth about her.
The reality is that she is standing here and she is as good as you have heard.
Ruby says that whether you were placed there or put yourself there, you are on a pedestal. That is all on the line on Sunday at Fastlane. When she takes your crown, you will no longer be the Queen. Your reality is going to crumble and you will just be another beach blonde failure with a famous last name.
Ruby gestures to Sarah and Liv and they stand across from Charlotte.
Charlotte's Mixed Match Challenge partner, Bobby Roode makes his way to the ring, after his entrance music plays. Bobby makes his way to the ring even though he is here to watch his opponent on Sunday face the man who cares about the Top Ten Rankings, Jinder Mahal.
