We start off with a look back at how we got the Smackdown Women’s Championship Match for TLC.
We are live from the the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas! Paige is in the ring with the official contract signing carpet and table. Around the ring are some tables, ladders, and chairs.
Paige says that Smackdown is not just the land of opportunity, it is the place where history is made. Paige says she is honored to sanction the TLC match for the Smackdown Women’s Title and it is not a normal TLC match, it is a Triple Threat Match.
Paige brings out Asuka first. Out next is Charlotte Flair. The final person to come out is the Smackdown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch.
Becky starts off the talking and she talks about history. It must be a Tuesday because the Man makes history every time she walks into the ring. She will do the exact same thing at TLC. Being put through a table or having a chair hit her in the back or being crushed by a ladder is nothing compared to where she came from. Becky says she does not care how you got into this match and she will do whatever it takes to win.
Charlotte tells Becky to change the song because it is the same one every week. She is given the opportunity? Spin it however you want. Charlotte says she picked up the ball that Becky dropped at Survivor Series and destroyed Ronda with one kendo stick. Charlotte says it took one punch by Nia to break your face.

Flair taunts Asuka for how she ended her streak at WrestleMania. Asuka says Flair got lucky one time. They all argue and Paige interrupts. Becky says none of them could beat Rousey or her. Becky signs the contract and leaves as fans chant her name.
Flair says Becky can leave because she’s all talk these days anyway. Flair says she’s going to beat Becky and Asuka, again. Flair throws a “wooooo!” at Asuka. Asuka fires back in Japanese. Flair tells her to stop because she already shattered Asuka’s mystique at WrestleMania and will now finish her at TLC. Paige gets in between them and tells them to calm down. They sign the contract. Asuka wants to fight right now. Mandy Rose’s music interrupts as she comes out with Sonya Deville. They cut promos on Flair and Asuka. Deville says Asuka’s Battle Royal win was a fluke last week but she promises she won’t get caught like that again. Rose says if Paige wants to see fire and desire, she’s looking right at it. Fans give her the “what!?” treatment. Rose wonders what happens if Flair and Asuka don’t make it to TLC. Paige says they are past idle threats. She makes a tag team match for now. Flair’s music hits as they all get ready for the match. We go to commercial.

Daniel says that Miz dances around the issue. He kicked AJ Styles in the groin. He kicked one man in the groin on one day. These people harm the Earth every day with their needless consumption. They drink their plastic water bottles and eat their factory farmed meats which sends methane into the air and affects the climate. If you want to count sins, he kicked one man in the groin on one day. These people commit countless atrocities against the Earth every single day.
Miz says for eight years Daniel has painted him as the bad guy, but you had them fooled. Miz says he saw through all of it. Miz says Daniel owes him. Miz asks Daniel if he is WWE Champion because he listened to what Miz said… yes or no?
Daniel says yes… no… yes… no… yes… no. Daniel says it does not matter. The only thing that matters is that the old Daniel Bryan is dead. The Yes Movement, with these logos… DEAD. The most important thing that you cannot do anything about is, here is your WWE Champion… The New Daniel Bryan.
