HOUR ONE
- Kurt Angle makes his way to the ring to announce tonight's contract signing between Nia Jax & Ronda Rousey. As Angle is about to announce a Women's MITB Qualifying Match, he is interrupted by Stephanie McMahon who lets him know that everything between she and Ronda Rousey is water under the bridge. She assures Angle that all is forgiven and that she will always do what's best for business. She offers Angle her guidance to ensure his continued growth. Stephanie also announces that she, not Angle, will preside over the contract signing between Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey. Stephanie lets Angle know that he has been allowing his emotions to get the better of him, especially when it comes to Roman Reigns. Reigns' music hits as he makes his way to the ring. Stephanie says, "If you're going to continue to let this Samoan temper get this best of you then maybe Roman you're going to have to find another line of work." Roman replies, "Maybe you should change your tone with me or I'm going to take this Samoan temper of mine, head backstage and destroy all your favorite Superstars." Stephanie tells Roman that she doesn't play favorites and that is beneath her. Roman brings up Brock Lesnar and Stephanie assures him she has taken his concerns to Vince McMahon; however, Roman says, "Cut the corporate crap." Stephanie interrupts and tells him that he lost his qualifying match and should take that up with Jinder Mahal, to which Roman replies, "I already did." The trio are then interrupted by none other than Kevin Owens, who claims that when he wins MITB, it will be what's best for business. Owens claims to actually like Roman Reigns and encourages the crowd to chant, "Thank you Roman;" however, a chorus of boos is all that ensues. Owens says that Stephanie McMahon is correct that she doesn't play favorites and brings up his struggles with her dad and brother on SmackDown. Kevin Owens puts his arm on Stephanie and she reprimands him, "Do not ever touch me again." She then makes a match between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens.

HOUR THREE- Stephanie McMahon, Nia Jax, and then Ronda Rousey all make their way to the ring for the MITB contract signing. Rousey gets things started by asking Stephanie how her arm is doing? Stephanie then asks Rousey why she deserves the opportunity when other women are obviously more deserving. Stephanie suggests that Nia challenged Rousey because she is "easy pickings," coming from a place where there are weight divisions. Stephanie then turns her verbal assault on Jax, telling her that it took her 20 minutes to beat Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania because she is lazy. Stephanie then wonders if Rousey can get the arm bar around someone of Jax's size. Jax replies, "No she can't get that arm bar around me. I'm so sick and tired of all that lazy crap. I've been hearing it all my life. The truth is, Ronda, I will make a name for myself because I'm going to beat you at MITB." The two then proceed to sign the contract. As the two shake hands Rousey says, "I am going to take your Title and your arm," as the segment ends with a staredown.
