Charlotte Flair Returns To SmackDown

B-Fab and Michin retained the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships on the June 11 edition of SmackDown when their title defense against Fatal Influence ended in a no contest. The match featured Lainey Reed and Michin locking up and pulling each other's hair before Michin sent Reed to the mat and followed with a dropkick.

B-Fab tagged in for a pin attempt after which Reed hit a backstabber and Fallon Henley took B-Fab down. B-Fab responded with a sliding clothesline and kicked Reed off the corner while Henley landed multiple strikes on B-Fab and sent Michin off the corner.

All four competitors were down when Alexa Bliss delivered a cannonball on Jayne and Tatum Paxley connected with a crossbody on Cargill, leading officials to throw out the match. Bayley then came out and took out Jayne as Cargill prepared to hit Bayley with Jaded.

Charlotte Flair made her return at that moment, standing face to face with Cargill before the two exchanged blows. A brawl broke out involving everyone in the ring, after which Bayley helped clear the ring alongside Flair, Paxley and Bliss.

Flair, Bliss, Paxley and Bayley were left standing tall at the end of the segment. Flair had been absent from WWE programming since the October 9 episode of SmackDown where Tatum Paxley had replaced her in a Women's Tag Team Title match against Fatal Influence.
