We get a video package for Charlotte Vs. Carmella. The former Champion is out first.
WWE SmackDown Live Women’s Championship Match
(C) Carmella Vs. Charlotte Flair
The match begins and Carmella starts doing Ric’s strut walk, only to be hit with a big boot by Charlotte. Mella grabs her belt and tries to leave, but Charlotte cuts her off. The Queen catches and rolls her back into the ring. She rolls Carmella up for a one count. Flair misses a slingshot over the top rope and Carmella lays her out with a superkick for a two count.
Mella lets out a Woo as she wrings Charlotte’s neck in a headlock. Flair eats another superkick to give the champ another near fall. She keeps Charlotte grounded with various submissions for a few minutes, all the while trash talking like crazy. Charlotte breaks free with a mule kick and starts to build up a head of steam with some chops to the champ. Mella counters a big boot on the apron and Charlotte lands hard on her back.
Carmella gets cocky again, does a little moonwalking, and then Charlotte smashes her with a Spear. Carmella counters the Figure Four and locks in the Code of Silence, which was her finisher in NXT – a nice callback. Charlotte stands up to escape the hold and nails a big boot for a two count. Charlotte heads up top and looks for her signature moonsault but Carmella moves out of the way and Charlotte lands hard. Carmella immediately capitalises with a pin and wins!
Winner: Carmella
Carmella clears the ring as soon as the bell rings. She seems like she’s as shocked as everyone that she won fair and square. She grabs her title and holds tight. Charlotte grabs her knee like she hurt it.
