– William Regal announced that next week’s episode of NXT will feature a battle royal, with the winner getting a shot at Asuka’s NXT Women’s Championship.

WWE.com has posted an article honoring Charlotte Flair for being the first female wrestler to main event on RAW, Smackdown and a WWE PPV. The accomplishment was completed last night on Smackdown when she challenged Naomi for the Women’s Championship.

The article reads: Following multiple Raw main events and a Raw Women’s Championship victory against Sasha Banks at this past year’s WWE Hell in a Cell event — inside the Cell itself, no less — Charlotte Flair made history once again last night on SmackDown LIVE by becoming the first female Superstar to compete in singles matches in the main event of Raw, SmackDown and a WWE pay-per-view.

Although Flair was ultimately unsuccessful in unseating SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi in the intensely competitive title bout, The Queen still has reason to celebrate — assuming she can take a break from plotting her retaliation against the devious trio of Natalya, Carmella and Tamina, who interrupted the match and attacked Flair after the bell.

How will Charlotte make history next? Whatever she does, rest assured: She’ll “Do It with Flair.”
