Segment: Shayna Baszler walks out and says that it's amazing how much desperation ignores intelligence. You see, Ruby has had me in her sights since May of last year. And in every outing together, I've beaten her. At Stomping Grounds, I proved i could beat her anywhere in this building. At Summerslam, I proved that I was the Last Woman Standing. At No Mercy, I showed her and the so-called Queen my history of being a cage fighter up close and personal. And I showed Ruby that so bad that she got injured. All because she was determined yet not using her brain. The difference between you and me Ruby is that I am smart and determined and best of all dangerous. I know you want this match Ruby, but you're too determined for your own good. So because I'm smarter than you and every single person in this arena, I'm going to you that against you. You want to fight me Ruby Riott, here's what has to happen. #1 Next week, you're going to have to face two of the baddest woman on the planet, and no, I'm not talking about WWE's stupid horsewomen, I'm talking about the real horsewomen. Next week it's you in a handicap match against Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir. If you can beat them, in 2 weeks, you have to take on the person you tried to save, Nikki Cross in a tables match. Oh hey and Nikki, if you win, I'll personally give you $100,000. Pay off some of those hospital bills. Finally Ruby, I really don't want this match at Wrestlemania against you, but if you can get past all of these challenges, then you'll get your match, but it's not just any match, it'll be a Tampa Bay Street Fight. Main Event: The Velveteen Dream vs. Big E vs. Keith Lee - Ladder Match & IC Ladder Match Qualifier RESULTS: BIG E WINS
