Charlotte & Paige’s Survivor Series Contract Signing
Footage aired of Paige attacking Becky Lynch last week… Saxton hyped Miz TV featuring Kevin Owens, ADR, Ambrose, and Reigns for Smackdown…
Cole stood in the ring where the contract signing table and chairs were set up. He introduced Paige first. Paige sat down and put her feet up on the table, then Charlotte was introduced. Saxton hyped that Charlotte will appear on ESPNews with Jonathan Coachman on Tuesday.
Cole said he was there when Paige and Charlotte had their tryouts and he wanted to know what happened to the friendship they formed. Paige said there is no friendship and she is taking her title back. Charlotte said it must be tough to be angry all the time.
[Overrun] Charlotte said she didn’t get into the business to make friends. She said she and Paige both had parents they grew up watching on television. She got choked up as she spoke about her brother dying and Paige being there for her during that time. She said they were family.
Paige said she used Charlotte from day one. Charlotte said Paige must suck at using her because she’s champion and Paige is not. She said it’s not about the title, it’s about who has your back at the end of the day. Paige asked if she learned that from Dr. Phil or 17 Magazine.
Charlotte mentioned the Four Horsemen and DX. She said PCB was going to change the Divas division until Paige let her selfish ways get in the way. Paige said she deserved that title more than anyone. Charlotte said Paige was never a champion because a champion is a role model who little girls at home want to be like.
Charlotte said she won’t be champion forever, but when she loses the title it won’t be on Sunday and it damn sure won’t be to someone like Paige. The crowd wooo’ed. Paige acted like she was crying and said that was quite the speech. She then said Charlotte makes her embarrassed.
Paige said no one will have Charlotte’s back on Sunday, including her father. She asked where Ric is and told him to come out and drop one of those famous elbows. Charlotte told her to shut her mouth or she won’t even make it out of the building. Cole said Paige signed the contract. Charlotte interrupted him and said she will continue to fight every day just like everyone in her family.
Paige said Charlotte’s baby brother didn’t have much fight in him. Charlotte dove over the table and attacked Paige. Charlotte took her to ringside and threw shots at her until several referees stepped in. Charlotte managed to get ahold of Paige and throw her over the broadcast table, then the referees pulled them apart again. Paige fled to the ring. She tried to push the table onto Charlotte, who got her in the corner. The referees pulled them apart again.
