SmackDown opens to SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair who beat Nia Jax last week to retain, Charlotte addresses the WWE Universe and names herself "The Opportunity" because she's on top of the Women's Division, she's simply the best sports entertainer and the lines start with her and ends with her. Rhea Ripley walks out and seems to disagree but Charlotte does no-sells and just avoids eye contact with Rhea and walks out without replying to her.

🔹 BACKSTAGE: Rhea Ripley steals Charlotte Flair's Women's Title.
Charlotte Flair's explanation for why she ignored Rhea Ripley is that she can't bear to listen to Rhea run her mouth and she'd rather wait until SummerSlam to deal with her since none of what Rhea says makes any difference to the beating she plans to give her.
Rhea Ripley ambushes Charlotte Flair, steals the SmackDown Women's Title, and leaves.
🔵 Seth Rollins reacts to Sam Rigleer's "The Horrors of a Hospital Bed":
Seth Rollins calls Sam Rigleer's movie "Bullsh*t" and criticizes his motives and mocks his retirement plans because in the movie Sam Rigleer revealed he was planning on retiring from wrestling this year but he was forced to postpone his retirement due to his injury since he still planned one last run.
Seth Rollins will then go on to say that he will make Rigleer which he had retired at SummerSlam if he accepts his challenge to a match.
Sam Rigleer responds via satellite by saying that he has left something for Rollins in the back and that there's someone who will guide him to find it, something that Rollins really has to see because "it could shape Rollins' vision heading into SummerSlam".
Seth Rollins walks out of the ring and back to the backstage area where he is lead by a security guard to the parking lot. There, Rollins is left in the middle where dozens of cars surround him and illuminate him with their headlights. Rollins is left confused in the middle and keeps on circling. The cars will then start moving in a circle around Rollins and the show ends.
What does this mean and how does this shape Seth's vision as Rigleer said it would?
