For the second week in a row, Bayley made an appearance on NXT.
Bayley said she didn't come back to NXT because she thinks she's owed something, but she believes she owes it to NXT to get rid of entitled little idiots like Roxanne Perez. Bayley said Roxanne proved she wasn't ready for the main roster by showing up to WWE SmackDown and WWE Raw to sit ringside for Bayley's match.
Bayley said Roxanne wasn't ready to be the leader of the locker room and talents like Giulia, which prompted the NXT Women's Champion to appear.
Giulia said that Roxanne might not look up to Bayley, but she does. She said she wanted to hold the NXT Title with as much honor as she did. Bayley said the NXT Women's Title changes lives and careers.
Roxanne and Cora Jade interrupted, and were greeted by a chorus of boos from the audience. Cora said that Bayley is no role model and they've been carrying NXT since day one. Roxanne said that Bayley was only in NXT to be NXT Women's Champion again because the current era has surpassed the Four Horsewomen era.
The segment broke down with Bayley and Giulia brawling with Roxanne and Cora. The brawl continued through the commercial break and spilled backstage.
