What a f*cking micro-shambles the return of Charlotte Flair has been thus far.

A string of poor television matches have played out to the backdrop of Lacey Evans shagging her Dad, wrapping 'The Queen' up in something seemingly much more important than the belt she won upon her return in December. Her partner has been running scared from Alexa Bliss' magic tricks too, rendering her as useless as she's been since James Elsworth's wink froze her to the spot back in 2018.

An easy win for Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler ahead of their entry in the Royal Rumble later on in the night. That's where the interest lies for all three women beyond Asuka herself - Charlotte will want to go back-to-back, and Jax and Baszler will likely dominate late on before turning on each other and being dumped by a returning Lana a la Shawn Michaels on Vader and Yokozuna in 1996.

Unlike 'HBK', she'll sh*t herself and bail, but any payoff to going through a table nine times would just be nice you know?

Winners - Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler
