Commercial
Back from commercial, we see video of the NXT stars at WrestleMania Axxess.
We go backstage where Renee Young is with Paige. Paige says that Summer Rae’s excuse for leaving their match 2 weeks ago was doing her hair? A curling iron? Summer has done something but run from the start. Whether its running her mouth, or running in general. Paige says she is sick of the running, Summer is not gonna run anymore. No more talking, I want you & me in a match, one-on-one, whether you like it or not. Paige says she doesn’t think Summer has the guts to face her, that’s why she runs her mouth all the time. But, Summer Rae doesn’t have a tough bone in her body and I’ll prove it……
All of a sudden, Summer attacks Paige from behind and lays her out. Summer says who’s running now, before walking off as we go to commercial.
