– This week’s broadcast opens up with a video package looking at Charlotte vs. Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series on Sunday.
– Charlotte’s music hits and she comes out to the ring to kick off tonight’s show. Charlotte gets on the mic and says she hopes Ronda isn’t looking for an apology from her, because she’s not sorry and she’s glad she beat her ass. Charlotte says that beating was on behalf of all the women of SmackDown, and their Champion Becky Lynch. SmackDown GM Paige comes down the ramp, and she’s got a mic. Paige says Charlotte doesn’t have to apologize for beating on Ronda, but it sounds like Ronda is going to track down Charlotte for revenge. Charlotte says if Ronda sticks her nose in her business again, she’s going to stick her head in a chair and stomp on it. Paige interrupts and points out that Charlotte attacked some WWE referees on Sunday, so Paige has to fine Charlotte $100,000 for the attack. The Iiconics come out to interrupt, and this leads to a match between Charlotte and Billie Kay.
