As a graphic promoting tonight's Main-Event flashes on the screen, we cut over to our commentary team Mauro Ranallo & Corey Graves at ringside. [Mauro Ranallo]Ladies & Gentlemen of course still to come is our Main-Event where Sasha Banks will challenge Natalya for The Women's Championship inside Hell in a Cell.
[Corey Graves]This match has had everyone talking since it was announced, and that's why given the historical achievement tonight's match marks, we wanted to find out what the rest of the division thinks about this evening's Main-Event.
[Mauro Ranallo]So earlier before we went on the air, our cameras caught up with the entire division to ask just that.
As Mauro cues the footage, we soon cut away from ringside, and to an immediate image of none other than one of XWL's most recent newest stars to join the division, as well as one of the six Women set to compete in The Miss Money in The Bank Ladder Match tonight, Dakota Kai! [Cameraman]Tonight for the first time ever The Main-Event of Final Stand will see two Women clash for The Women's Championship. This is a very personal rivalry that has seen the formation of a friendship, then the demise of that friendship. Through Sasha & Natalya's storied history they've proven to be at the top of the division, and with this evening's match set to be the finale as they collide inside Hell in a Cell...can we get your predictions as to what you expect to happen, and who you see leaving The Cell as Women's Champion?
[Dakota Kai]My prediction is that it's going to be a match to remember. You have two pioneers... two legends... inside the most satanic structure this industry has to offer along with a storyline to rival any soap opera... how can anybody not be excited for this? Sasha and Natalya are two of the greatest to ever set foot in the ring. As I said before, they inspired me and they made me believe that I could someday grab the brass ring and make my own dreams a reality in XWL. And tonight, I make that happen when I grab the Money In The Bank briefcase which gives me a shot at the Women's Championship anytime, anyplace, anywhere. I meant what I said last week when I said it's time for a new era, and no disrespect to Natalya or Sasha, but that time is now.
[Dakota Kai]A few years ago nobody would've thought that two women would main event the biggest show of the year. It really is unbelievable what the two of them will accomplish tonight and history will be made. But you know something else nobody knew a few years ago? The name Dakota Kai. After tonight, everyone will know my name. Whoever walks out of the cell with the victory will have a target on their back and I'll be aiming a stiff, hard kick at it when they least expect it. Whether that's Natalya or Sasha, it doesn't matter... my time is now. I'm going to grab the brass ring and I'm going to write my own piece of history.
Right after Dakota finishes with determination in her eyes, we keep it going by cutting over to another participant in this evening's Money in The Bank, veteran and recent comeback star, Kaitlyn!
[Kaitlyn]Well I think tonight everyone is going to be given the match of there lives. You see the main event is the biggest match on the card. I see this two women going at it everywhere in this arena. It wont just stay in the cell it will be taken backstage to the concession stand but end in the ring. I can see Sasha Banks winning here tonight but not on her own. I see her getting some help from one of the few women in the locker room that doesn't wanna see Nat retain the title. But just wait because the night won't be over. The will be a twist added on after tonight's main event. Not only will there be one title change but a second title change will happen because when I win the money in the bank ladder match tonight I will be cashing in and I will be walking out the new Women's Champion
Clearly set on seizing tonight's historical end for her own, we wonder if just that will happen tonight as we then cut to the next Woman asked this question, Little Miss Bliss herself. 
[Alexa Bliss]First of all, I think we're all in agreement that I should be in that match considering it's been, what? OVER 7 MONTHS SINCE I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY AT ANYTHING! But that's fine, I won't stand here and deny their talent, and their ability to draw everyone in with their story, and excite them with their matches that each one seems to top the last. At the end of the day what they're doing tonight is setting the stage for the future of this division. They're the first Female Final Stand-Main-Event and I have no doubt that they will deliver everything and more. As far as who I see winning? You know, as sweet as Natalya is, and such a role model...and an inspiration for me, Final Stand has always been cursed for her. And unfortunately, while The XWL Universe would love to see this feel moment of erasing the past and completing such an inspirational journey by retaining on the grandest stage of them all...I think we all need to be honest with ourselves. This isn't a storybook, and not everything has a happy ending. She should be proud of what she's done in 2018, but from what I've seen of Sasha Banks? She's back with a vengeance, and even if I still believe she's an abomination trying to blend in with society as if she's not this walking dead creature after being Buried Alive...she's the bane to Natalya's existence. And clearly, I think the half-dead zombie that miraculously is okay after being buried six feet under at the start of the year is the one that will emerge from hell because I mean what more can Natalya do to her that she hasn't already done? So to answer your question, I see Sasha Banks becoming The New Women's Champion...and I'll be sure to formally congratulate her on Anarchy, and introduce her to the "twist" in her newfound bliss...
XWL's Wicked Witch seems to be staking her claim at whoever leaves tonight's Main-Event as Champion, this of course is assuming she's able to get past Asuka in her match later on. As a confident Bliss smirks we cut away to the other half of The Irre-Blisstible Force, and perhaps the most difficult obstacle in tonight's Money in The Bank, Nia Jax. 
[Nia Jax]You want to know what I think? I believe that two undeserving women are making history tonight. A spot that should be filled by someone that can reap the rewards, not retire or quit within a year. They're making a move for the division and that much I understand and respect but the fact that I have to sit on the sidelines, along with other deserving women, such as Alexa Bliss, is undeniably wrong. I'm pleased however, that now the attention will be turned to the women, my stomping ground and we will finally get the rightful respect we deserve.
The screen cuts to the next interviewee, none other than the Ravishing Russian, Lana. After hearing the question, Lana's trademarked wicked grin vanishes as she looks disappointed and agitated suddenly.
{Lana}.. You are not here to ask me about Rusev?
[Cameraman]Not at this time, no. We're asking all of the women about their opinion's on-
{Lana}If you are not asking me about Rusev or myself, then why are you asking me anything at all?.. Natalya and Sasha are both lost women, and I hope they get what is coming to them tonight. Hell in a Cell is no place for a woman, and these two act like they are so brave and courageous.
No! They are stupid women who need to be shown their place, it is this simple. Their husbands do not love them like my Rusev loves me. They do not know what it is like to feel
love, to be a
real woman. For this reason, I pity them.
{Lana}But they can both go "break their legs" as you Americans like to say. That is something I would like to see.
After a brief moment of awkward silence, the interviewer chimes back in with a last effort to try and get a proper answer from the Russian Ice Queen.[Cameraman].. So, if you
had to choose between the Women's Champion Natalya and Sasha Banks, who do you predict will walk out victorious tonight?
Lana sucks her teeth, narrowing her venomous gaze at the interviewer and his persistence.
{Lana}I do not have to choose. This is America, isn't it? Land of the free and home of the brave, isn't it?.. Your democracy fails you, once again. When will you pathetic villagers ever learn this? How many times does your precious "equality" and "freedom" have to bite your hand before you say that enough is enough? This is why you will always be 2nd to Mother Russia, and
this is why your men are all weak and your women are going wild, like these Natalya and Sasha Banks people.
Lana then turns and stares into the camera.{Lana}This is what my Bulgarian Brute and I are here to teach to you, America. I hope you are wise enough to listen, for your own sake.
And on that intense political note, the Ravishing Russian turns and exits the interview, leaving the cameraman perfectly speechless...as next up is another one of XWL's newest additions to the division, Demon Allie. 
[Demon Allie]We actually look forward to this match. We think this will be the match that blows the roof off of this place for two reasons. Reason one the championship is on the line. Reason two the two women involved in this match are the greatest competitors we have to offer. We would like to see Sasha will take this win to dethrown Nat but the hive speaks to us and it tells us that Natalya will win this match. The hive tells us that Sasha will give it her all but it won't be enough to put the champ away. We expect to see blood she and broken bones. But most importantly screams of pain and suffering will be heard throughout the arena. Oh yes pain and suffering the sounds that fuel the hive. We predict that this match won't be over at the count of three.
Demon Allie lets out a sadistic laugh[Demon Allie]We predict that even tho Natalya will win tonight there will still be a title change. We don't mean to go off topic but we can't for get about the huge six woman money in the bank match here tonight you see that gives the winner a championship match where ever and when ever they want. So our answer to your question is Natalya will retain the gold but tonight someone will cash in and become the new womens champion.
As Demon Allie stares into the camera as if she were penetrating our souls so that she could claim them for the hive...we quickly cut away, to a woman that's had very little to say as of late, someone choosing to let their actions speak rather than their words, another one of this evening's competitors in The Money in The Bank, Emma. 
[Emma]I think it's quite OBVIOUS what's going to happen...whether it's Sasha, or it's Natalya...by the end of the night? It's ALL going to be about ME!
Flashing a smirk as she points her index fingers at herself, next up is The Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka! Asuka perks up and puts her thumb to her chin, rubbing it for a second and then she ponders her thoughts.
[Asuka]I would have to say, it’s a tough one. You have two very strong, capable women who want it all. They will bring all they’ve got, and more. The fight in them is not mathematically able to be solved. You see, Natalya and I waged war a few times. She brings the best out of Asuka, and she will bring the best out of Sasha. I think Sasha will use that against Natalya and show her what it means to have a target on your back. Natalya has been proven warrior, she’s proven it every time in ring. I am proud of our division, this is amazing. I want to see them both tear each other.. Apart. This is for everything, what we fought here for. I am confident that Natalya will bring home the gold, but not without a fight, as expected. Nobody is safe, and it will be a fight for their careers as well.
The next Woman that appears before us is someone who has had more experience with both The Challenger and The Champion than anyone else in the division. So what does she have to say about tonight's historic Hell in a Cell? 
[April]Those two have worked their butts off to get here and personal bias aside they both really do deserve it. You know, if this had been a year ago I'd have said Natalya's kind Mary shtick would have slipped her up but she's proven to everyone that she is not that same Woman anymore. Sasha is great and if she does win I wouldn't be shocked but Natalya is on a roll. I don't know if she can be stopped honestly. I have faith my best friend is walking out the winner. But ah, notice how I said the winner and not the champion. Because there are six hungry women looking to bring down that briefcase and I think most of us would be happy to make Final Stand all about us. But only time will tell I suppose. Give her hell Nattie!
As April extends her support to her best friend Natalya, we wonder what might happen if April's able to win The Money in The Bank later on as well given that she's also competing in it? With that in our minds, we cut to the final Woman extended this question, and the final competitor in Money in The Bank, The Undeniable Tessa Blanchard!(Tessa Blanchard)Friendship, heartbreak, betrayal, happiness, sadness, emotions in general? Sasha and Nattie have been through it all with one another, and guess what? it's all overrated just like the 2 of them. It's all about championships in this business, and Natalya holds the XWL Women's championship, the richest prize for Female wrestlers in the entire industry, and I want it. And make no mistake, when I want something? I don't sit and wait for it to be handed to me, I go out there and get it, I go out there and I TAKE what I want, and the Women's Championship will be no different for me, I'll MAKE an opportunity for myself to become champion, and when I do? you best believe I'm walking out with the title.
(Tessa Blanchard)I don't plan on becoming the next Sasha Banks or Natalya in this company. They've got my respect for their contributions to Women's wrestling in this company and as whole, but as a competitor? what do you want me to do bow down and kiss their ass? That's not my style. I didn't come to this company to FAIL, I came here to win, I came here for success, and that's exactly what's gonna happen. I ain't the next Natalya, I won't sit here and fail for 8 years before FINALLY reaching the top of the mountain, I won't sit here and be the next Sasha Banks who continues to choke away opportunity after opportunity that comes her way, some would say the only reason she's had so many chances at the title is due in part due to the scarcity of this division at times over the last 2 years, maybe that's true, maybe it's not, that's irrelevant, what is relevant though is me, and the fact that whether people like Sasha and Nattie like it or not? the new era in this company's women's division is upon them and Tessa's spearheading the charge ladies and gentlemen.
(Tessa Blanchard)As for tonight, I don't care who wins, I truly don't, because that title is coming home with me before long, but since I was asked, I'll humor the masses with an answer. I think Nattie's little "reign of redemption" comes to a HARTBreaking end tonight. Sasha's gonna FINALLY get the job done, even though it's pretty hard not too after having this many chances at the title in the last 2 years. I'll say this, they've both got talent, they both know how to wrestle, so I'm fully confident that they'll go out there tonight with the 1st women's main event in Final Stand history inside of a Hell In a Cell no less and they'll kill each other, which works out just fine for me personally, they wanna kill each other and take years off their careers? go for it, just remember gals, don't take your eyes off the prize, remember the bigger picture, remember that when the schoolgirls are done pulling their pigtails out that a real WOMAN is waiting in the wings, tonight may be the end all be all for ya'lls little chapter in this story, but the story itself? it doesn't end tonight, as a matter of fact? it's just beginning and Tessa Blanchard's the author of it's next and most important chapter and THAT IS UNDENIABLE!
And with that bold and very self focused response from Tessa Blanchard, we head back to our commentary team. [Mauro Ranallo]A bit of a split division wouldn't you say, Corey?
[Corey Graves]I'll say...some believe Natalya's going to retain, others think we're going to crown a New Champion in Sasha Banks...and interestingly enough, some seem to be foreshadowing a Money in The Bank cash in on top of it all.
[Mauro Ranallo]The briefcase allows the winner to cash in anytime, anywhere from now until next year's Final Stand...but given everything Sasha & Natalya are going to undoubtedly put each other through tonight...this could be the best chance whoever holds that briefcase will have in successfully cashing that contract in.
[Corey Graves]But with the very direct threat of that contract looming, you know The Champion whether Natalya retains, or Sasha claims it...will certainly see it coming. I'm not sure if it'll matter or not, but it does take away the element of surprise to flat out say if you win you're cashing in, doesn't it, Mauro?
[Mauro Ranallo]Shows a lot of confidence, that's for sure.
[Corey Graves]Of course we wanna know your predictions for tonight's historical benchmark. Who will leave Hell in a Cell as Women's Champion? Use the hashtag
#SashaVSNatalya on all social medias to get involved in the conversation.
[Mauro Ranallo]I'm still on the fence myself, it honestly could go either way.
[Corey Graves]One thing is certain, this evening's Main-Event will be unforgettable, and flat out incredible.
[Mauro Ranallo]That I think we, the division, and those watching can all agree on.
