SmackDown Results: Brock Lesnar plays big role in Universal Title match; Charlotte Flair embarrassed

Charlotte Flair was out next on SmackDown and said that she knew Toni Storm's plan and intended to ignore her. She said that last week's stunt made Toni get noticed and that a match with Flair would boost her career by leaps.

Still, Charlotte refused to give Storm the match before walking out. Storm sneaked up behind Flair as she walked out of the ring and hit her in the face with a pie, getting her revenge for last week. The Queen was left fuming.
