WWE SmackDown Chicago, IL
The commentators are Michael Cole, Kevin Patrick and Corey Graves.
– Tonight is WWE SmackDown, the blue show starts with a video about what happened last week. The commentators greet us, then Becky Lynch’s WarGames team enters the room. The team that will have the advantage in WarGames will be announced during kickoff, it is the fans who were able to vote.
Becky Lynch gets on the mic and tells us that people wonder why she works with Charlotte Flair, but she’s always ready to give Damage CTRL a big slap in the face. And where better to do that than in Chicago at WarGames? Shotzi says Damage CTRL made her uncontrollable and unbreakable, she will let go of Damage CTRL. Charlotte Flair says WarGames will mark the end of Damage CTRL.
Bayley comes on stage and says she never thought she would see Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair standing side by side. Flair always had something to say about Lynch and vice versa. Bianca Belair should pay attention to her partners. As a mother, Becky Lynch has become a pushover: she’s okay with being chosen last, it was her last choice. WarGames is the most dangerous game and they need a team with cohesion. Charlotte Flair asks where Bayley’s team is, are they with Asuka?
Becky Lynch says she didn’t come to Chicago to talk, she wants a fight. She suggests that two wrestlers from Damage CTRL come and face Flair and her in the main event. Bayley agrees and says she thought she would have to wait until Survivor Series to see her team implode, tonight it will finally happen.
