In our earlier report, we mentioned the surprise attack by Charlotte Flair on Tiffany Stratton before the recent WWE SmackDown episode aired.
In the actual show’s duration, announcer Joe Tessitore confirmed that Charlotte Flair had been dismissed for the forthcoming week and will bear the consequences.
WrestleMania 41 still does not have an opponent lined up for Randy Orton.
In the recent WWE SmackDown episode, Orton tackled the matter of his standing in WrestleMania. He declared his readiness to compete against anyone, including General Manager Nick Aldis. He mentioned the fine he paid for his earlier RKOs, suggesting he and Aldis were now clear. But according to Aldis, it’s all about respect, not simply settling financial accounts.
Orton ominously hinted that without a match to his name, he may resort to drastic measures and refuse to extend an apology to Aldis’ wife, Mickie James. The discussion was interrupted by Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga, which initiated a fight. LA Knight then stepped in to support Orton, leading to the tag team main event’s birth.
“I paid in advance and I think we’re even”
Can’t challenge common sense
