Mick Foley is in the ring after the break and he welcomes Bayley to the ring. The commentators point out that Charlotte left her comrade, Dana Brooke in the back, meanwhile Bayley had help from Sasha.
Foley congratulates her on defeating Charlotte last night. Bayley thanks him but says she doesn’t feel like a Champion. She says Charlotte left Dana Brooke in the locker room meanwhile she didn’t really win fair. She says she needs to think forward and look at WrestleMania.
Bayley says she didn’t use a calendar growing up, her year started and ended with WrestleMania. She remembers watching last year’s WrestleMania, watching Lita unveil the beautiful Women’s Championship. Then three of her closest friends competed for it in a great match. And now this year she gets to walk in as Champion. But she doesn’t feel like one. Mick says it doesn’t matter how you do it, all that matters is getting to WrestleMania. He asks who might be her opponent for WrestleMania.
Sasha comes out and says she has the answer to Foley. Sasha says she and Bayley know Charlotte better than anyone, and Dana Brooke would have come out at some point, she just prevented the issue. Sasha says the two of them deserve the greatest stage of them all. She pitches Bayley Vs. Sasha Banks at WrestleMania for the Women’s Championship. The fans cheer and Foley loves the idea but then Charlotte and Dana come out.

Charlotte says this was the plan all along; Sasha lost at Roadblock and that meant she couldn’t get another title shot against Charlotte. So Sasha helped Bayley win and now she gets a title shot. Charlotte says Bayley and Sasha’s friendship is a sham. Charlotte says she was robbed of her title and her streak. Charlotte says Foley doesn’t care because he loves Sasha and Bayley. Foley and Charlotte argue and out comes Stephanie McMahon.
Stephanie comes to the ring and the fans chant for Punk, so Stephanie says the fans are all like Punk: losers. Stephanie turns to the ladies in the ring and calls Sasha manipulative. Stephanie says Mick is not the boss and Charlotte was robbed. Stephanie says she is making it official: Bayley Vs. Charlotte at WrestleMania. Foley says you can’t leave The Boss out in the cold, and Stephanie asks who exactly Foley is calling The Boss. Foley says you can’t leave either Sasha and Charlotte out of the match, considering the year they have had. Foley pitches a number one contender’s match next week. Stephanie says it’s a good idea but instead, Sasha can earn her spot in the Championship match, if she can beat Bayley tonight!!

Triple H is live via satellite. Cole asks Triple H what he thinks about the video he just saw of Rollins rehab. HHH says first of all you’ve gotta hand it to WWE because they provide the very best health care in the entire world. He just hopes Seth listens to that expert advice and doesn’t show-up at WrestleMania. HHH calls Rollins a liar, he isn’t ‘The Man’. Triple H says he never had to call himself a name like The Game – which isn’t actually true because HHH coined the term on Raw – everyone already knew what he was.
HHH says Rollins’ dream has always been to be ‘The Man’. So if Rollins shows-up at ‘Mania and calls him out, all that awaits is a nightmare. Triple H says if Rollins shows-up, it will be the last thing he will ever do in a WWE ring. That’s it for Triple H and Graves says that he’s known Rollins a long time, and this is the first time he would advise him to back down.
