Charlotte says she doesn’t need Dana or even her dad to beat Sasha. Charlotte says Sasha is just a one-night stand. Sasha says Charlotte wouldn’t be standing here if it weren’t for a one night stand because she’s Flair’s daughter.
Out comes Chris Jericho and wanting them to be quiet. Jericho calls Sasha an ungrateful little punk and says Charlotte is royalty. Jericho wonders why Sasha calls herself The Boss.
