Segment: Nyla Rose

She should have been the first champion and the highest paid woman in the locker room. Her face should be on the posters. Waiting made her hungry. When she gets hungry, she breaks bitches. She broke Riho.
Schiavone says Riho showed courage, but Rose asks where that got her. Rose represents unbridled power. All the little bees can sit out there and say what they will, but at the end of the day the fact remains that she’s the queen bee in this hive. She’ll be a one-time champion because nobody out there can stack up to her or beat her. Nobody is a beast like her.
