Michin and B-Fab join the assault before Charlotte’s title match
Summary
– Jade Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab attacked Charlotte Flair backstage
– The assault interrupted Chelsea Green’s confrontation with Nikki Bella
– Charlotte was scheduled for a women’s tag team title match that night
Jade Cargill led a backstage assault on Charlotte Flair during the October 9 episode of SmackDown, with Michin and B-Fab joining the attack ahead of Charlotte’s scheduled championship match.
The segment began with WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green discussing the possibility of a Money in the Bank cash-in. Chelsea said she was hoping for Tiffany Stratton to win the briefcase and suggested celebrating afterward on Bourbon Street.
Nikki Bella interrupted the interview and redirected Chelsea’s attention toward another potential challenger. Nikki promised to beat Paige the following week before eventually taking Chelsea’s championship.
Chelsea dismissed the threat by pointing out how long it had been since Nikki held championship gold. Nikki responded by criticizing Chelsea’s reign and calling her a “bootleg Nikki Bella,” escalating their exchange with a personal remark about Chelsea’s husband.
A sudden commotion brought the confrontation to a halt. Nearby, Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab were attacking Charlotte, turning the focus from the verbal exchange to a physical assault.
Officials intervened and ordered the attackers back to their dressing room. Commentary emphasized that Charlotte was supposed to compete in a women’s tag team championship match later that evening.
The attack left Charlotte’s scheduled opportunity in question while giving Cargill and her allies another chance to make their presence felt on SmackDown.
