In-Ring Segment
Charlotte Flair is here! She gets a great reaction and thanks the fans for all their support through the difficult weeks with her father’s health. She says that she learned the lesson that life is short and promises to make every moment count from here on out.
Natalya cut her off and came out to host a “celebration of women” segment, and has something under a tarp in the ring to reveal. She talks about all the great women like Oprah Winfrey and…herself, and all the ladies in the Mae Young Classic. She takes the tarp off to reveal a photo of herself with the women’s championship. Charlotte mocked her portrait and announced that she was issuing a challenge for the Smackdown Women’s title.
Out comes Becky Lynch, who apologizes for interrupting the Ego Olympics. She called Natalya the craziest there is, the craziest there was, and the craziest there ever will be. Becky also issues a challenge for the title.
Up next is Naomi, who comes down and insults Natalya’s cats.
Tamina Snuka makes five, accompanied by Lana. The champion is grateful that someone out here respects her accomplishments, but Lana calls her a crazy cat lady and tells her to shut up. Natalya bails from the ring and screams that she’s not a crazy cat lady, because she will be the women’s champion forever.
Up next is…Daniel Bryan! The general manager announces a fatal four-way match tonight, with the winner going on to challenge Natalya for the title at WWE Hell in a Cell.
#1 Contender’s Match
Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch vs. Tamina Snuka vs. Naomi
Tamina destroys everyone to kick off the match, squashing bodies in the corner and throwing opponents left and right. After a commercial break the tides had turned as all three worked together to take down Tamina and hit her with move after move until she rolled out of the ring. Becky and Charlotte started throwing uppercuts back and forth but Naomi came flying off the ropes to take them both down with a crossbody. Naomi fired off with rapid kicks on the Queen followed by a Falcon Arrow for a nearfall. She rolled into her submission but Becky broke it up to apply the Disharmer! Tamina broke that up and the chaotic brawl continued.
Becky sent her opponents together in the corner but turned into a lariat from Snuka, who then got speared by Charlotte. The QUeen went up to the top rope and connected with a huge moonsault on Naomi and Tamina, but couldn’t get the three count on either of them. She went for the Sharpshooter but Becky came out of nowhere with a springboard leg drop to break the hold. Everyone is down. Tamina was the first to recover and hit an echoing Samoan Drop on Lynch, followed by a top rope Superfly Splsah! 1…2… Naomi flies out of nowhere to break it up. Lana got up on the apron and Naomi went after her, only to get taken out from behind by Tamina. Charlotte connected with an explosive spear out of nowhere, pinning Snuka for the 1-2-3.
Winner: Charlotte Flair
