2. Charlotte Flair ambushes Tiffany Stratton
On last week’s show, WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair engaged in a fiery segment, which quickly went off the rails as both stars started trading personal jabs.
The segemnt ended as Stratton mentioned Flair’s recent divorce and rolled out of the ring as Flair tried to fired back asking why Ludwig Kaiser is in her DM’s? Flair might ambush Startton for the ‘0-3’insensitive’ comments making the fued even more personal.
1. An all out brawl
Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest are set to go face-to-face on this week’s show, GM Nick Aldis has already made the match between the two official for WrestleMania 41. The segemnt is more than likely will end in chaos as McIntyre is not someone who forgets such vicious attacks while Priest is not someone who back down.
