Two weeks ago, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair fell to a chilling three-on-one attack by The Riott Squad that left The Queen down and out – something the titleholder had never experienced in her career. Because of this unprecedented attack, Flair demanded to face off against Liv Morgan last week on SmackDown LIVE, and she scored the win after the referee ejected Ruby Riott & Sarah Logan. After the champion defeated Morgan, she emphatically declared “one down, two to go!” However, the question quickly became whether Flair would be able to consistently overcome the odds against The Riott Squad — a question that was answered tonight when Becky Lynch and Naomi joined The Queen’s side as she took on Logan.
With the playing field leveled, Charlotte competed freely, and despite taking her lumps throughout the contest, she defeated the scrappy Logan with a head-pounding Natural Selection before making sure to indicate “one to go” after the bout. In the words of soon-to-be WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg, it sure sounds like Ruby Riott is “next.”

Charlotte Flair makes her way to the ring as we go to commercial.
We are back with a look back at Ronda Rousey interrupting the Asuka announcement after winning the first Women’s Royal Rumble.
Renee Young asks Charlotte about having a front row seat watching the first Women’s Royal Rumble. Charlotte says it was great to watch history but she wanted to compete. She says she did not want to be champion for the first time to see how she would do against the legends. Then she wanted to have the chance to out last someone she knows. Charlotte talks about the moment that broke the internet. She was in the ring with Alexa Bliss, the first Women’s Royal Rumble winner . . . Asuka, and Ronda Rousey.
Charlotte says she is walking into Wrestlemania the Smackdown Women’s Champion, but she wants to know who she will be facing.
The Riott Squad come out to the stage and Ruby says forget about Asuka or Ronda Rousey. She asks Charlotte if she can hear herself. Charlotte’s ego is as big as her father’s. Of course you think you could have won the Royal Rumble match and hand pick your opponent. Ruby says she has met people like Charlotte on every level. Impossibly arrogant. There is only one Ruby Riott. You are just a cheap imitation of your father.
Ruby says she came out here to tell Charlotte her time is over. If it is up to her, you won’t even make it to Wrestlemania.
Charlotte asks Ruby if she is done yet and then she wooooos in Ruby’s face. Charlotte blocks a punch and hits Ruby. Charlotte with punches to Sarah and Liv as well. Sarah with a waist lock but Charlotte with a forearm and she send Sarah to the floor. Ruby, Liv, and Sarah attack Charlotte and they work her over on the mat. Ruby with a thrust kick to the head. Ruby with kicks and Liv with a double stomp to the back. Liv and Sarah pull Charlotte into the center of the ring and they pick her up. Ruby with the Riott Kick.
Carmella comes out and she has a referee.
Carmella drop kicks the referee by accident and he goes to the floor. Charlotte recovers and Carmella screams for the referee to wake up from his nap. Carmella goes to the floor and she gets her briefcase and goes to the back.

We go to the interview area and Alexa Bliss stops by. She is asked about the Royal Rumble match and whether she will be champion at Wrestlemania. Alexa asks Charly if she is trying to insult her. Alexa says she is not a champion, but a goddess.
Charlotte Flair shows up and she says the only reason why Alexa is the Raw Women’s champion is because Charlotte is on Smackdown. Alexa does not have the size, speed, or pedigree. To be the woman, you have to beat the woman.
Ric Flair shows up and she says that you might be the champion tonight, but Charlotte will be the champion tonight, tomorrow, Wrestlemania, the Monday after Wrestlemania and until she decides to hang it up.
