Nikki can’t believe she’s standing here as champion and it’s always a dream. “You deserve it” chants starts from fans. Nikki says she keeps pinching herself to make sure she is not asleep but this dream is now real.
Nikki talks about how she felt didn’t have enough confidence in the past and when she put this outfit, it gives her the confidence and reminds her, and she wants to remind all of us, that no matter what, if you believe in yourself you can overcome everything. It worked for her and it can work for you and we all can be Almost Superheros. Music hits, here comes The Queen Charlotte Flair.
Charlotte Flair says it’s a nice fairy tale Nikki telling but it doesn’t have a happy ending because Nikki as a champion is disgrace.

She further says that both Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley represented the women’s division very well when they were champions and now the women’s division is ready for metamorphosis and she will be leading that change as the new Raw Women’s Champion.
Flair says enough of this super hero crap and goes on that she’s ripping Nikki at Summer Slam to win the title. Ripley says that title belongs to her waist. Music hits, here comes Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville. Pearce says there are a lot of good arguments and perspectives, so they will address them.
