Overdue and under-promoted, 'The Princess Of Staten Island's night will go from bad to worse as she becomes the latest Money In The Bank casualty at the hands not of the (virtually) unbeatable Women's Champion, but Flair's (actually) unbeatable WrestleMania opponent.

Emotionally and physically hurting from her tag loss earlier in the card but fuelled by the realisation that this is her last chance to get on the New Orleans card, Carmella will strike after a p*ssed off Riott Squad render 'The Queen' defenceless in a post-match attack.

With things looking their bleakest for Charlotte, the same woman that made Carmella squeal in terror at the Royal Rumble will do so again. The 'Empress Of Tomorrow's arrival will strike fear in the challenger's heart, forcing her to abandon and forfeit the shot altogether in Asuka's fearsome shadow.

With Carmella despatched and Asuka centre-ring, Charlotte's realisation of the situation at hand will become clearer. Asuka's silent but deadly point at her beloved title (with a bonus one at the WrestleMania sign for good measure) will crystallise her intentions and lay the table for one of the 'Show Of Show's most climactic clashes.
