Hello and welcome to WWE Smackdown Results!
Tonight looks like it’ll be a fun one with several good looking matches lined up and a contract signing that’s guaranteed to go off the rails.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
Rousey sends a message
Adam Pearce was in the ring for the contract signing, and Introduced first Charlotte Flair and then Ronda Rousey.
Once they were in the ring, Pearce realized they didn’t have the contract and Drew Gulak ran it out. He’s Pearce’s new assistant.
Gulak offered to show a power point presentation about the rules of an I Quit match and Flair threatened to make him cry he quits again.

Ronda told her to leave him be and Flair informed her the only rule is to make their opponent say “I quit.”
She then listed ways to make Ronda say she quits and then she signed the contract.
Ronda countered that there’ll be no ref to step in and save her and Flair kept saying she beat her at WrestleMania.
Flair flipped the table and pulled out a kendo stick, but Ronda took her down and used the endo stick on Flair.
Gulak took it away, and Ronda hit a Samoan Drop on him and locked in an armbar while she signed.
