Sasha Banks, captain of the SmackDown Women’s Survivor Series Team, wanted to pick a fight just two nights before Raw, NXT and SmackDown collide at Survivor Series.
Well, a fight she got.
Both Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley answered The Boss’ call, leading to a dream Triple Threat Match to kick off the blue brand. With their brand mates surrounding the ring, the three captains battled it out in an absolute thriller. In the clutch, Ripley caught The Queen with an incredible rollup while Charlotte had The Boss trapped in the Figure-Eight, pinning Flair’s shoulders to the mat for three to earn an astonishing victory.
Rhea and her NXT teammates were quick to celebrate the win and head up the ramp, but a post-bout shoving match between Flair and Banks led to a massive brawl between the two units with Sunday right around the corner.
