Gigi Dolin said Jacy Jayne’s attack on her made her realize who she is. It was fun being the mean girl as it was a way for her to channel her inner demons because deep down she was just happy to survive. She said she trusted Jacy when she told her the last person who betrayed her and beat her down was her own mother. When she ran away from home as a teenager, she was determined to make it in WWE so she could show her little brother that they can escape they cycle of pain and suffering. Next week at Roadblock she will take out all her rage on Jayne.
In the Chase U classroom, Duke Hudson apologized to Thea Hail for the way he spoke to her last week.

Chance told Stratton to get her boots on because she is going to get them a match.
