He announces there will be a six-women tag match later tonight but first, we're having a Women's Championship Forum. He brings out the first guest, Becky Lynch.

Bryan plugs Total Bellas when Nikki Bella is brought up. Becky talks about what it would mean for her to win the Women's Title but Natalya interrupts her. Natalya calls her boring and says the Draft was the worst day for her career because she got stuck with Lynch.
