Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch were part of this week’s Smackdown main event segment as they picked up new titles to become the face of their respective rosters. A fight broke out during that segment which also indicated the potential champion vs. champion matchup for the upcoming PPV event.
Heading into the post-Crown Jewel episode of SmackDown, WWE heavily promoted that a new era will begin on the show with the updated post-Draft rosters. The segments advertised on the show were as follow,
– Brock Lesnar to beat up WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns senseless after what happened in their PPV match.
– RAW Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch to exchange their belts as Flair was drafted to SmackDown and Becky was drafted to RAW
– Xavier Woods to have his official King of the Ring coronation

WWE then held a Women’s Championship Exchange segment to close out SmackDown, which saw Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch switching their respective titles.
Flair has thus become a six-time SmackDown Women’s Champion as the record book says she held the RAW Women’s Title for 62 days during her last reign. It began at SummerSlam on August 21 when she defeated Rhea Ripley and former champion and the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Nikki A.S.H., in a Triple Threat.
Becky Lynch is now a two-time RAW Women’s Champion who is on record as holding the SmackDown Women’s Title for 62 days in her last reign which also began at SummerSlam as she defeated Bianca Belair to win it.

The exchange segment of this week’s Smackdown, hosted by Sonya Deville was interrupted by Sasha Banks, right after Charlotte Flair proposed a “Winner Takes All” match for the show. She left the ring and promised to see with Flair or Banks at the WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view on November 21 in a champion vs. champion match.
A brawl between Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks ensued to end the show, hinting that this going to be the next feud from the Smackdown women’s division. No update is available on who Lynch will feud with on RAW for her title but it’s possible that she may continue the rivalry against Bianca Belair who was also picked by Raw roster during the Draft 2021.
