Belair said she should be focused on WrestleMania 41, but was worried about what was going on with Jade Cargill & Naomi and felt she was losing her mind before calling out Naomi. Naomi appeared and told Belair things were not what they seemed to be, but Belair demanded to make it clear if she attacked Jade Cargill. Naomi then responded by saying she was tired of Cargill being carried by Belair and said it was supposed to be them only. After they were in an emotional shouting match, Naomi finally admitted it. Belair walked out on Naomi, which led to Naomi saying Belair was an ungrateful bitch. Jade Cargill then appeared and laid out Naomi with Jaded.
