– The Miz comes out to host Miz TV with Becky Lynch, Lita, and Trish Stratus. There is some brief joking about The Miz having tiny balls. Damage CTRL interrupts, and Bayley says she has something to say about all of this because, at one point, it would have been a dream of hers to face these three women at WrestleMania, and now it’s their dream to take all of them down at the same time. Becky says that since joining the main roster, Dakota Kai and IYO Sky haven’t done anything but be lackeys. There is a stare-down to send us to commercial.
Becky Lynch vs. IYO Sky
Becky Lynch starts out the match aggressively, but thanks to some distraction from Damage CTRL, Sky is successfully able to take over the match, trapping Becky Lynch in a rear chin lock and getting a near fall off of a dropkick.
Lynch eventually regains control, sending IYO flying with a baseball slide. Becky gets a near fall off of a Christian Cage-style reverse DDT. She goes for the Manhandle Slam, but IYO counters it into a Roll-Up, but she only gets a two-count.
IYO Sky would hit a Moonsault to the floor, but Becky Lynch eventually gets the win with the Manhandle Slam.
