Kendrick cheap-shotted Tozawa during the handshake, then rammed Tozawa’s neck into the turnbuckle and locked in the Captain’s Hook, all without the bell having rung.

— Neville and Jack
Gallagher had a contract signing for their Cruiserweight Championship
match at Fastlane. Gallagher signed the contract, then Austin Aries
introduced Neville. Neville came out, signed the contract, and tried to
leave, but Gallagher invited him to stay and enjoy a cup of tea like
proper gentlemen. Neville accused Gallagher of being a stereotype, and
said the fans aren’t laughing with him, they’re laughing at him.
Gallagher said Neville thinks he’s better than everyone else, and he
won’t stand for it. Neville got in his face and they scuffled. Gallagher
hit a headbutt and Neville tumbled out of the ring. Gallagher kept him
at bay with his umbrella and Neville took a powder.

— Bayley came to the ring and talked about her childhood as a fan and how important this championship is to her. She said Charlotte isn’t going to ruin the best week of her life by making up some fake scandal.
Stephanie McMahon came out and insinuated Bayley wouldn’t have won the title if not for Sasha’s interference. She said people like Bayley because she’s morally upstanding and sincere. She wondered if Bayley was going to throw all that away to hold a title she didn’t really earn. She said the Bayley she knows would do the right thing and relinquish the Raw Women’s Championship.
Bayley looked like she was about to hand over the title when Sasha Banks came to the ring. Sasha said she wasn’t doing to let Bayley give everything away, and to listen to the crowd. Bayley said the title should represent prestige, not controversy. She said there’s only one answer: hell no. She pinned Charlotte, for the third time, and it wasn’t because of Sasha. It was because of the fans, and she will fight for them and defend the title any time, any place.
Charlotte finally came out and apologized to Stephanie on behalf of the entire women’s division. She said she doesn’t want Bayley to give up the title, because she’s going to take it back at Fastlane. Sasha talked some smack and Stephanie made a match between Sasha and Charlotte.
