- Fatal Influence were in the ring for a promo about Jacy Jayne’s performance in the Royal Rumble. She gloated about how everything was going so well until Sol Ruca ruined it and how she’s going to kill her hype. Zaria then interrupted to say Sol has had enough opportunities and it’s time that she got a chance to rip the title away from Jayne’s grubby hands. Jayne said everyone loves Sol, but they just tolerate Zaria, and while Ruca has been proving time and time again how she deserves those opportunities, Zaria hasn’t done anything to justify it. WrenQCC then came out so Kendal Grey could say that she deserves a rematch instead. Sol Ruca was out next to say they should all chill out and throw her name in the hat for the title, too. Robert Stone booked WrenQCC vs. ZaRuca for next week with whoever gets the pinfall getting a title shot in 3 weeks in Atlanta.
