The Queen makes her demands known
Charlotte Flair started by saying that it has been 7 days since she came to SmackDown Live, and she has run out of patience. She cut an entitled promo asking why she hasn’t already been granted a SmackDown Women’s Championship match. The champion Naomi then made her way out. The champion said that on the blue brand, there are no Kings or Queens, but there are champions.
Naomi said that she hated to see Charlotte begging the way she did. Naomi said she wasn’t wasting any time and would give her what she what she wanted. She laid out the title on the ring and then attacked Charlotte, clearing the ring. Out came the commissioner Shane McMahon. He told Charlotte that she would have to earn her title shot by facing Naomi in a non-title match later in the night. If she won, she would become the #1 contender.
After Shane had left, Charlotte came in and attacked Naomi and lifted the title, but the champion was quick to come back in and clear the ring.
