The Grayson Waller Effect with Charlotte Flair

Grayson Waller says just when you thought the Grayson Waller Effect couldn’t get any bigger, they are about to break the internet. He introduces Charlotte Flair to the show.

Waller says it is great having her on the show. He asks Charlotte if she will become a 15 time champion. Flair says 15 time, 16 time but since they are talking numbers, she has Asuka’s number. Asuka tells him he can wooo when she says that. Waller wooo’s.

Bianca Belair’s music hits and out she comes. Bianca tells Flair her accolades speak for themselves but someone has to explain to her how things work. She lost her title, was told she was going to get a rematch, in comes Flair who says she wants a rematch and got the rematch. Flair stands up as the fans chant “EST”. Flair tells Bianca she calls her shots and gets them, she is not going to apologize. The line starts and ends with her.

Flair tells Bianca she lost to Rhea at WrestleMania and she did not get a rematch. They are both owed a rematch. Bianca tells Flair that she tried to do it the right way. She got defeated and stayed and she tried to do it the right way. She says she didn’t go away and hide for three months. Maybe she should take things into her own hands too. Flair asks her if she thinks she ran away. Flair says she stepped away but did not run away. And if anyone knows anything about defeat, she has beaten the best and gotten defeated but picked herself up 14 times. She is a champion with or without the title. She asks Bianca if she is a champion with or without a title.

Bianca says she is the longest reigning women’s champion of the modern era and she didn’t have to do it 14 times. And to put respect on her name. Bianca tells Flair that the past is the past but the future is that she will be sitting ringside for Flair’s match against Asuka. She is done being patient and playing with them and no matter who will win, she will get in the ring face to face and call her shot. Because that title is coming back to her. Bianca drops the microphone and leaves the ring.

Lynch is in the ring and she says there is only one woman responsible for how hot the women’s division is. She says it’s so hot we have the likes of Lita, Mickie James and the Bella Twins coming back to try and challenge the Van Goat at WrestleMania. Becky says they need her because she makes stars. Just look at Doudrop, nobody was clamouring for her to get a title match and she didn’t even earn it, Becky gave it to her. She makes people better, then she beats them.

Lynch says Doudrop came from the rolling hills of Scotand and made a name for herself. Oh wait, no she didn’t, someone else made her name for her. So let her set things straight: a Doudrop will never lead the division while she’s there. Doudrop took umbridge with something Becky said because she’s on her way down to the ring. She says Becky didn’t get her anything, and if she planned for this then it was the biggest mistake she’s ever made. Becky says she did get her the win and if she follows her lead she’ll get her a win this week as well.

Bianca Belair comes out and says Becky thinks she’s the greatest but uou can’t spell greatest without Est. Bianca says Becky was so scared of facing her again that she helped Doudrop win. Well Becky is only buying time because she will be entering the Royal Rumble match. And it’s every woman for themselves and she doesn’t care who she has to eliminate to main event WrestleMania again. Of course, out comes Liv Morgan and she says they shouldn’t be overlooking her because she’s in the Rumble too. The four of them almost brawl.

Doudrop drags Becky over to the corner but doesn’t have the sense to tag herself in and the referee won’t count it, so she goes back over and tags herself, then crossbodies Liv and pins her.
