FRESNO, Calif. — With a new era being ushered in last night by the McMahon family on Raw, Becky Lynch kicked off SmackDown LIVE with a simple message for the McMahons: She wanted to fight Ronda Rousey.

Lynch, still understandably furious over Rousey costing her the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WWE TLC, was craving to get her hands on Hot Ronda asap … but so was Charlotte Flair. The Queen, also enraged that the Raw Women’s Champion cost her a chance at victory this past Sunday, wasn’t looking to wait behind The Man for her chance to scrap it out with The Baddest Woman on the Planet. However, the Superstar who reaped the rewards of Ronda’s blindside attack, new SmackDown Women’s Champion Asuka, hit the scene to remind both that she was now atop the mountain on the blue brand.

All this chaos prompted the arrival of Mr. McMahon, who pondered who should challenge Asuka for her newly won title right here tonight. Before The Chairman could get another word out, though, Naomi hit the scene, making the case that Charlotte and Becky have had their opportunities and that she should be the one to square off against The Empress of Tomorrow tonight. Liking what he heard, Mr. McMahon agreed and scheduled the match … oh, and it would be next!
