MVP asks Baszler how her specific set of skills will help her win.
Baszler says “opera non verba” and goes on about how she does her talking in the ring, isn’t that right Asuka? Asuka goes into another rant. She and Baszler stand up, staring each other down.

Rollins goes on about Drew not being ready, mentally or physically, for what comes with being a champion. Rollins is just trying to unburden Drew, not take anything from him.
