– As noted, last night’s WWE SmackDown saw Charlotte Flair return and win the non-title main event over SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella to earn a title shot at SummerSlam, making it a Triple Threat – Flair vs. Becky Lynch vs. Carmella. Below is post-show video of Flair talking to Kayla Braxton after the big win.
“Man, I just have to say, Tampa is where I started wrestling almost 6 years ago, so to come back tonight and make it to SummerSlam in a Triple Threat feels good,” Flair said when asked about facing Becky and Carmella at SummerSlam. “I haven’t even thought about facing my best friend. She’s been killing it the last 6 weeks, every Tuesday I tune in to watch her. But yeah, I knew I’d beat Carmella when it counted and I did, and I’m in the Triple Threat, and I’m ready to reclaim my throne. The Queen is back!”
