Please share coverage of today's Viewing Party on social media and chime in with your thoughts in the comments section below.

We're on the air. Byron Saxton, Corey Graves, and Jimmy Smith are on commentary.

First out is Becky Lynch, who makes her full entrance and grabs a microphone.

Lynch says it feels good to welcome everyone to "Raw" because she didn't feel up to it without "her title". She says fans prayed for her downfall and hope she never reclaims the "Raw" Women's Championship. But Lynch says she lives on "spite and coffee" and she's feeling pretty fueled up.

Lynch says she collects enemies and she's going to keep collecting them as she rises back to the top. Lynch says the odds have always been stacked against her and it'll be the same at "Hell In A Cell".

Lynch resets the events of "Money In The Bank" in 2020, where Asuka won the briefcase. Lynch says she generously gave Asuka the greatest gift of her career when she handed her the "Raw" Women's Championship the following night. Lynch says this was all by design. Lynch says she gave the title to Asuka because she knew she could beat Asuka when she returned from "creating life".

Asuka makes her entrance to cut off Lynch's monologue.

Asuka gets a microphone. She says Lynch is still a "big-time baby". No one is ready for Asuka. At "Hell In A Cell" she'll become the new champion.

"Raw" Women's Champion Bianca Belair makes her entrance with a microphone in hand. Belair says she's not crying about having to defend against two people at "Hell In A Cell". Belair says she likes to do her talking in the ring. She respects Asuka, but Asuka kicked her last week. Belair says her title isn't going anywhere.

Lynch cheap shots Belair with a punch to the face. All three women get into it. Belair hoists up Lynch and delivers the KOD over the top rope so Lynch lands on the ring apron. Asuka follows with a hip attack to send Lynch to the floor.

The match between Belair and Asuka is next. But first, we go to a commercial break.
