🔹 BACKSTAGE: Sami Zayn promises Adam Pearce a platform to dismiss Sonya Deville's claims.
Sami Zayn gave a platform this past Friday on SmackDown to his former ally Sonya Deville where she gave inside details on her fall from being a WWE Official. She exposed the alleged corruption of WWE Official Adam Pearce, who is allegedly taking bribes from multiple WWE Superstars, his unfair agendas against some certain WWE Superstars, and other details "too dark for TV".
Tonight, the liberator Sami Zayn knocked on Adam Pearce's office to address Sonya Deville's claims and before Adam Pearce can debate the exactitude of his alleged actions, Sami Zayn promised him an exclusive visit to his "In-Zayn" show next week where he can give his own insights on the happenings backstage.
Did Sami Zayn just get himself a "must-see" episode of In-Zayn with Sami Zayn? Or will Adam Pearce refuse to publicly address Sonya Deville's claims, and if he doesn't show up, does it make Sonya's words true?!
🔵 Bianca Belair tells Rhea Ripley to step aside in championship dispute: 8min*
Last weekend, WrestleMania Backlash saw the Undisputed WWE Women's Championship defended as Charlotte Flair faced Ronda Rousey in an epic back-and-forth bout!
During that match, Rhea Ripley made her way out to stop Ronda Rousey in her tracks and gave her a chair shot to the head! Ronda Rousey would then loose the match to Charlotte.
This past Monday on Raw, Ronda Rousey wanted nothing more than to rip Rhea Ripley apart right there and then so she called her out for a face-to-face confrontation. Rhea Ripley answered the call and when the two superstars stood from across each other, Rhea Ripley spit in the face of Ronda Rousey which initiated a frenzied brawl, prompting WWE Officials out for separation.
Tonight on SmackDown, Rhea Ripley came out in celebration saying she is satisfied from embarrassing Ronda Rousey on Raw and that she relished that moment the entire week. She added that the only thing that could make this better than what it is now, is for her to challenge Charlotte Flair for the Undisputed WWE Women's Championship.
Bringing up championships triggered Bianca Belair to come out for a confrontation. The former Raw Women's Champion argued that Rhea Ripley did not win in the past and it's time for her to step aside because it's the EST's time to shine again.
Rhea Ripley smirked and abruptly left the arena.

The Street Profits have turned their back on the WWE Universe as they look for a new way to rise to the top in WWE. A few personal insults to McIntyre & Sheamus made them forget about their own rivalry as they attempt to fire back at The Street Profits.
