Within seven days from today, WWE Smackdown will go international from the soil of the United Kingdom, next weekend. Just a day prior to the Money in the Bank 2023 premium live event, WWE’s weekly programming will emanate from the same venue of the PLE, that’s the O2 Arena in London, England. A stacked match card for the night has now been confirmed.
During this week’s WWE Smackdown, Charlotte Flair was seen in action for the first time since Wrestlemania 39. She squared off against Lacey Evans in a one-sided match to pick up an easy win. The Queen introduced a royal golden gear that’s been a topic of discussion at the IWC.
Plus, she also performed Andrade El Idolo’s signature Tranquilo move in the ring. Flair was seemingly returning the favor from Andrade using her Figure Eight move on AEW Collision, last week. After the win was secured, Flair didn’t get much time to celebrate her win.
