Renee: Carmella this past Thursday we saw you tap out to Becky Lynch in your singles match. How are you feeling heading into tonight's championship match?
Carmella: Renee I'm the champion for a reason and I feel great. My arm's not in pain anymore. But tonight the only person who's going to be in pain will be Becky Lynch. Because I'm going to break her spirit as well as her body. She's going to once again see she doesn't have what it takes to get the job done and I will silence her for good this time.

Raine: Tonight's match is Extreme Rules in case you didn't know Renee which means that there will be no “keeping focus”. The only focus tonight is to beat those two so badly that they won't make it to the next show, or possibly another show ever again.
Chloe: Forgive my sister, but she's right. Our goal is to retain these tag titles and if we have to beat Empira and Pandora to a pulp we will.

CAW's Featured:
The Dark Rising (Trinity, Empira and Pandora)
From: Parts Unknown
Bio: One of the two teams to make their way over from the AWA promotion in Australia. The Dark Rising formed when Trinity revealed herself to be the leader after a long, heated rivalry with Chloe Valentine that ended with Tx3 capturing the Femme Fatal Championship from Chloe. Trinity is cunning, wily and crafty and as a result this has led her and her faction to gain dominance in AWA. Empira is the enforcer of the group. Her level of violence is unmatched and she is a woman of few words. Pandora makes up the second half of the tag team with Empira and despite her current cold appearance, she used to be a bubbly person. Even though she is the youngest member of the group she's very smart and is very good at the mind games. The “Twisted Doll” and Empira have seen success in AWA's tag team division and are looking to have similar goals here along with the Empress Trinity in WWE.
The Valentine Sisters (Chloe and Raine)
From: Cambridgeshire,England
Bio: Now these ladies, these two are some of the baddest women to come from England. They made their mark in AWA not as a tag team but as singles competitors. Chloe and Raine in fact were involved in one of the messiest title feuds in the company's history that saw Raine put her sister on the shelf for seven months. Times have changed since then however as now they seem to have put their old history aside and when WWE came calling, they accepted and have now formed a team that is set to put the whole world on notice. Raine is a hothead, but cold and calculated at the same time. She's very confident and very proud of it all too. She's willing to piss anyone off to get her way. Chloe meanwhile is the tactician of the two, having to keep her sister in check and while she is the more popular of the two due to her speed, power and athletic move set you can see exactly why these two together can only mean good things for them. There's a reason they are referred to as “Pretty Mean Sisters”. They have all the tools to be a force in the Women's Tag Team division.
Skye
From: Chelsea, England
Bio: A fan favorite in the England wrestling scene Skye has come to WWE and brought those fans with her. She has been known to be a “wild child” and it earned her the nickname “The Rebel” across the pond. This has not made her many friends,except maybe Paige because the two have been seen hanging out in the locker room. In the ring Skye brings a ruthless aggression style along with a big heart, this makes her difficult to keep down for the three count in big time matches. This allowed her to capture the Women's Championship at her promotion and hold it for over a year. Can you see why she's a fan favorite in England?
Sara “The Tornado” Maple
From: Vancouver,British Columbia (Canada)
Bio: Sara is a phenomenal wrestler who came to WWE after being scouted at an indie event in Canada. She's a really lovable person with a charming personality. She loves to have fun for the fans and for herself in the ring. The girl really gives it her all and has tremendous heart. However, just because she is charming, don't let that fool you because she has been known to show a whole other side if things don't go her way. She can become very ruthless if this happens so my advice, make sure she stays happy and if she trusts you,don't break that.
