Charlotte Flair kicked off WWE SmackDown: January 28th, 2022 at Kansas City. She came out to the arena, looking as sharp as she always does. ‘The Queen’ entered the ring, took the mic, and dropped a statement about Patrick Mahomes and The Chiefs.
“It is my honor, your SmackDown Women’s Champion, to do something that Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs will never do again. You know what it is? To bring a championship to Kansas City.”

Sasha Banks returned to take down Charlotte Flair
After taking a shot at Mahomes, The Queen proceeded to explain why the Royal Rumble Women’s match is difficult to prepare for. She had three specific reasons: shocking entrants, surprising returns, and betrayals.
It wasn’t a segment without interruptions and out came Shayna Baszler. She had only one message to deliver to Flair-
“I will not hesitate to snap you like a twig, limb by limb.”
Next, Aliyah, Natalya, and Shotzi came out to the ring and claimed that they are better than others. All three of them put themselves over, but the chaos began once Sasha Banks came out to the ring.
She was the last one to come out during the segment, and the audience popped upon seeing her.
“The boss is back baby! And I’m ready to Rumble.” – Sasha Banks.

She wasn’t in the ring for a long time before she slapped Charlotte Flair across her face. This initiated complete chaos in the ring. One by one, all of them were tossed out of the ring, leaving only Flair and Banks.
