The show opens with a video recap from last week of Ronda Rousey choosing SmackDown Women’s Champion, Charlotte Flair, to face at WrestleMania.

WWE Official, Sonya Deville, is already in the ring. Deville welcomes everyone to the show. Sonya says he has to acknowledge the attack that she endured from Ronda Rousey last week. Sonya says Ronda and Naomi have no regard for authority. Sonya said she doesn’t care who it is, there will be consequences for their actions.  Sonya said that she sent a petition to upper management for Ronda to be fined $100,000 and had been suspended immediately. Adam Pearce then appears with an email on his phone from Vince McMahon. Adam reads it and it says that Vince is sick of WWE authority figures taking matters into their own hands and getting physical. Vince declines her petition, and also says that she is not allowed to lay her hands on Naomi tonight in the SmackDown Women’s Championship match. If she doesn’t, then her job would be in serious jeopardy.

Naomi then makes her way out to the ring. Naomi asks Sonya what’s the matter. Naomi mentions that Vince said in his email that Sonya can’t lay her hands on Naomi, but that doesn’t stop Naomi from laying her hands on her. Naomi then slaps Sonya as the WWE Official is shocked, much to the delight of the Feel The Glow superstar.

Cole mentions the match that should have happened at WrestleMania 36. Goldberg says he is still the same Goldberg, and Roman Reigns is going to get what he deserves. Cole says that Roman Reigns said earlier that he’s going to ‘Goldberg’ Goldberg.

A recap is shown of the segment that kicked off the show which resulted in Naomi slapping Sonya Deville.

Charlotte Flair vs. Naomi for the SmackDown Women’s Championship

The match started around 25 minutes before the broadcast was due to end, so it appeared the bout was going to get a lot of time. Naomi scored a number of believable near falls to keep everyone on the edge of their seat, however, in the end, Charlotte Flair retained her championship with the Natural Selection. Overall, that was a great match.

Winner: Still SmackDown Women’s Champion, Charlotte Flair via pinfall
