Becky Lynch makes a surprise appearance on Friday Night SmackDown and teams up with Charlotte Flair to take on Damage CTRL in the main event. The tension between Lynch and Flair is evident throughout the night, leading to a dramatic ending. Read on for all the details!
The babyface women’s team in the War Games match at Survivor Series kicked off this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown. Becky Lynch, who has recently joined the blue brand, made her entrance with the team but came out to her own theme song. The Man is back!
One of the burning questions on everyone’s mind was why Lynch would agree to team with Charlotte Flair again after their tumultuous history. Lynch’s answer was simple – she just wants to get her hands on Damage CTRL.
Flair, on the other hand, referred to War Games as a new beginning for “us…well, all of us.” This statement raised some eyebrows, as it hints at a deeper storyline involving the babyface team.
Bayley, who has been trying to create dissension within the team, confronted Lynch and Flair, pointing out their previous issues. Instead of falling into Bayley’s trap, Lynch offered to team with Flair against any two members of Damage CTRL in the main event. Bayley eagerly agreed, hoping to witness the implosion of the babyface team.
Backstage scenes throughout the night showcased Iyo Sky insisting Bayley be the one to work the match and team up with Asuka. Meanwhile, Lynch and Flair were already at odds before even making it to the ring.
As expected, tensions boiled over during the match. Flair accidentally speared Asuka, leading to an argument between Flair and Lynch. Bayley took advantage of the chaos and pinned Lynch for the victory. The heels celebrated while the babyface team argued, and Lynch walked out upset.
This turn of events sets the stage for some intriguing developments in the coming weeks. Will Lynch and Flair be able to put their differences aside? Or will their history continue to haunt them?
In other news, LA Knight made a memorable appearance on SmackDown. Knight’s popularity was evident as the crowd erupted when his music hit. He joined forces with Kevin Owens to take on Grayson Waller and Austin Theory. The match ended with Knight and Owens emerging victorious, much to the delight of the audience.
It’s worth noting that Owens made a clever remark about how if you say someone’s name enough, they show up. This comment, made in Chicago, sparked rumors about the potential return of a certain Second City Saint. Could CM Punk be making a comeback?
Santos Escobar delivered a passionate promo, blaming Carlito for Rey Mysterio’s injury. Escobar attacked Carlito backstage, but Dragon Lee came to the rescue. Unfortunately, it was announced that Carlito won’t be cleared to compete, and Lee will take his place in the match against Escobar.
The Judgment Day successfully defended their Undisputed tag team titles against The Street Profits, with Rhea Ripley interfering as expected. However, it’s becoming predictable and frustrating to see these matches play out without any logical response from the opposing team. Hopefully, future storylines will address this issue.
The Brawling Brutes and Pretty Deadly had another intense match, but Ridge Holland had enough and walked out on his partner, BUTCH. This could lead to interesting developments, especially considering Sheamus’ involvement in the storyline.
Overall, this episode of SmackDown delivered on the excitement and drama that fans have come to expect. The tension between Lynch and Flair, the rise of LA Knight, and the ongoing feuds all contribute to a captivating storyline as we head towards Survivor Series.</p
