Heyman then shows up and asks "Satisfied?" Finn Balor says "Eh," meaning "Yes."

Trish Stratus heads to the ring. Trish says that when she first came to WWE, women's wrestling was a joke, and she single-handledly changed everything and brought credibility to a division that did not exist. She also says "there was no 'we,' it was me" on the subject on Lita. She says that she was the one person who made people care about women's wrestling in WWE and that there would be nothing for women without her, then says that the fans should have been chanting "Thank you, Trish" at WrestleMania. Trish says Becky wants people to believe that she, Bayley, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks started the "Women's Revolution," but it all started with her, and she has asked herself if Becky believed her own hype. She then decided to hang around Becky Lynch for a while, and noticed that not once did Becky thank her for making her career possible, and says that Lita was eating out of Becky's hand as her sidekick when she was calling her out a year earlier. Trish says that she is "nobody's sidekick" and says it was getting sad and embarrassing to the point that she had to take Lita out backstage to make it crystal clear that she screwed Becky out of the titles. She then asks Becky if she remembers putting her arm around her last week, then tells her that they are not friends before bragging about how she took Becky out in an instant, as she refused to let anyone rewrite history. Trish says she is not a nostalgia act, someone's childhood fantasy or a sidekick, but the single most important figure in WWE and the greatest of all time, and that she will make sure that nobody forgets it.

Cody says he is satisfied with wrestling Brock Lesnar at Backlash, but he is also confused at tonight's events due to not being a champion and being held back by twenty security guards and not Lesnar.
