Charlotte came out and said that Evans was just using her dad to further her career. Charlotte said Flair was embarrassing himself and her own family name by helping Evans. Ric Flair suggested that Charlotte should form a tag team with Evans instead of Asuka.

Evans revealed that WWE management promised her a title shot if she beats Charlotte. The Queen challenged her to a match right then, and she accepted.

"In fact, Ric has heard from WWE Officials that if I were to beat you in a match, I’d be next in line to challenge for @WWEAsuka’s title." — @LaceyEvansWWE #WWERaw @MsCharlotteWWE pic.twitter.com/ZKyyjDBknH
