Jax was handed a microphone and told Stratton that she should not have done all of this and Stratton responding stating it is Nia’s big moment and after everything Nia did for her, she wanted to give back. Jax responded that there is an awful lot of pink leading to Stratton responding asking Jax if she likes it. Jax responded stating that she appreciated her but it it not her style. Jax stated that her style is more of destruction and she proved that at SummerSlam when she destroyed Bayley. Jax stated that she proved that she is a woman of her word when she said she would take the title from Bayley and she did. Jax stated that not only is she the Queen of the ring, she is the new WWE Women’s Champion.

Jax then stated that everyone in the locker room better bow down to her and stated what a better way to start than with Tiffany to bow down. This led to a surprise reaction from Stratton who responded asking Jax if she wants her to bow right now and she is glad they are on the same page. Stratton hesitated to bow down and stated that she brought Pretty Deadly because they will sing her a song and after that they will bow down to her.

This led to Pretty Deadly stating that this is a preview of their Pretty Deadly The Musical. Pretty Deadly started to sing praising Jax to Jax’s bewilderment that was interrupted by Michin who ran into the ring from behind and attacked everyone with a kendo stick. Stratton and Jax quickly left the ring leading to Michin staring them down and resumed her attack on Pretty Deadly with her kendo stick.
