Banks thanks the fans. She said it’s about time RAW “popped off” with a big statement. She talks about the WWE Universe talking about Bayley and The Boss at NXT Brooklyn last year. Banks said they not only stole the show, they were the show. She said the reign of the boss has just begun and she will continue that era at SummerSlam.
Charlotte is out to interrupt. She walks out and gets inside the ring with a mic in hand. A loud “YOU TAPPED OUT” chant breaks out. Charlotte yells she saw a fly. Banks asks where all Charlotte’s gold is and reminds her that she made her tap out. Charlotte tells Banks to get over herself. “I don’t need Dana to beat you. I don’t even need my dad to beat you,” says Charlotte. She promises to beat Banks all by herself at SummerSlam. Charlotte said she was the very best in WWE for over 300 days. She says Banks capitalized on one mistake and refers to her as a “one night stand.” Banks says Charlotte is the daughter of Ric Flair and if it wasn’t for him she probably wouldn’t be standing here right now.
Chris Jericho walks out repeating, “Quiet…quiet….quiet.” Jericho gets in the ring and yells, “I said quiet!” He calls Banks a punk. Jericho said he was just minding his own business backstage and didn’t like how Banks was talking about Charlotte. He calls Charlotte a princess. Jericho said Charlotte has already outdone anything Flair has ever done in the business. “Who has Ric Flair ever beat,” adds Jericho. He’s confident Charlotte will beat Banks at SummerSlam. Jericho asks what makes Banks a boss. He wonders if she is his boss, write him up or pay his salary? Jericho calls Banks the boss of purple haired stupid idiots like the ones in the crowd tonight. He doesn’t care who her cousin is. “You aren’t a boss. You are a brat,” adds Jericho.
Enzo Amore is out next to interrupt. Enzo does his introduction solo and jumps inside the ring. Big reaction for Enzo in Atlanta. “Sash…for real…how doin?” Enzo kisses the hand of Banks who smiles and rubs her hand. He said normally he would come out here with his big friend, but three is a crowd. Enzo brings up how he is a G and she is a boss. He says he can bring the hot sauce and wants to make a “certified G deposit.” Enzo and Banks exchange “how you doin” back and forth. Charlotte tells Banks to go for it and hears you can only describe Enzo’s love life with one word. Banks points out what they have over here. Enzo refers to them as haters. He said listening to Jericho speak is like trying to pass a kidney stone. Enzo jokes that waiting to hear what Jericho has to say is like watching those three dots on an iPhone, but Jericho never hits sends. Jericho tells him to quiet down calling Enzo a “hip hop hobbit.” He tells Enzo to watch it. Enzo asks what. Jericho says it pointing. Enzo refers to Jericho as Bon Jovi and says “it’s…it’s my life.” He said this isn’t a DirecTV commercial and if he had the power to turn back time, he would prevent Jericho from buying that scarf. Jericho said he doesn’t care how anyone is doing.
RAW General Manager Mick Foley interrupts. He says he may not be “the boss”, but he is Jericho’s boss. He points out Enzo Amore in the ring. Foley said Enzo is a certified G and Foley is a certified GM. He plugs Enzo making an appearance on his “Holy Foley” show coming soon to the WWE Network.
