Becky Lynch came down to the ring to reveal her surprise. The crowd broke into a loud “Becky” chant. She noted since winning the title she’s the best thing on SmackDown. She now runs the Women’s division. She learned that being kind and patient gets you nothing but stabbed in the back and treated like a fool. Not anymore. She strikes first and she strikes often.
She feels she still gets no respect. She wonders why she’s not on the magazine covers and doesn’t have a toy. She made a new poster for Super Show-Down. It featured her holding up the belt with one foot on Charlotte Flair. The fans loved the poster and cheered her. She said Super Show-Down isn’t about HHH vs. Undertaker for the last time. It’s about her defending her title for the first time.
Flair ran out and speared Lynch. The crowed cheered for Lynch and chanted “Becky”. Flair applied the figure four-leg lock on the apron. The fans loudly booed Flair before her music began to play.
