Raquel Meets Nattie
Natalya spoke with Shayna Baszler to express her thoughts on the message from Evans. She does not seem too impressed by her or newbie Raquel Rodriguez. In addition, the handshake between the two after their official greeting looks quite suspicious.

Who Will Say “I Quit” At WrestleMania Backlash?
Nevertheless, Charlotte Flair demanded answers on the approval of the “I Quit” match. Unfortunately, she was interrupted by the new interviewee, Drew Gulak. She gave him an opportunity to interview her in the ring.
He went on to discuss her match at WrestleMania, bringing up the fact that she indeed tapped to Rousey. However, she makes it aware to him and everyone else that she was in fact only fixing her bra strap and not tapping.
To no surprise, Flair reminded him that she is the champion and begins to turn her attention to him. She presents a question of her own, calling him a quitter while diminishing his new role.
As he leaves the ring, she attacks him and teaches him a lesson of her own. It all ends with Gulak tapping out while uttering “I Quit,” further proving that Flair will do anything to display her dominance over WWE.
