Backstage, Bayley spoke to Stephanie about why she let Dana Brooke be the referee for their match last week. Stephanie McMahon told Bayley that Charlotte had ‘high power attorneys’. Stephanie said that she never wanted Bayley on Raw, but it was Mick Foley who scratched and clawed to get Bayley.

She said that Bayley is ordinary while Charlotte is a high calibre, larger than life Superstar, while Bayley was just “Bayley”. Bayley countered saying that she may not have the last name, or have grown up in the business like Charlotte or Stephanie, but she is “Bayley” and that was good enough for her.

Stephanie then put Bayley in a number one contender's match, and the winner would face Charlotte at the Royal Rumble. Stephanie then told her that her match would be against Nia Jax.

Stephanie McMahon revealed that she was not fond of Bayley one bit
