Liv Morgan’s music then hits and Morgan makes her way down to the ring. Morgan says if Lynch is looking for a new #1 Contender, she is there. Morgan then says the last thing she wanted was for Lynch to hand her a title opportunity, but she feels as though Lynch owes her one. Morgan then says the only reason Lynch is the champion is because of what she did and what Lynch couldn’t. Morgan then says it’s the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour and the endgame was always going to be her. Morgan then promises to not stop until she has everything she wants. Lynch then agrees that she wouldn’t be holding the Women’s World Championship if Morgan didn’t attack Ripley, but reminds Morgan that she wouldn’t be holding the title if it wasn’t for her.

Nia Jax’s music then hits and Jax makes her way down to the ring. Jax says she dominated both Lynch and Morgan in the Battle Royal last week and while she should be the new champion, they teamed up to make sure she wasn’t. Jax then says since it’s her last night on RAW tonight before she leaves for SmackDown, she is taking one thing with her. Morgan then hits Jax with a dropkick to send her crashing off the apron.
