Some notes on the WWE roster now that the post-Draft era is upon us with tonight's Smackdown:

*Xia Li will be a babyface on Smackdown.

*Mia Yim is scheduled to be a babyface when she debuts on Raw.

*The current plan is for Shotzi Blackheart to be a heel on Smackodown now that she and Tegan Nox have been split.

*Nox will remain a babyface for the Raw brand.

*There's been talk over the last week of shifting Apollo Crews and Commander Azeez into a tag team going forward.

*Hit Row's Swerve Scott and Ashante Thee Adonis will be utilized as a tag team with Top Dolla planned to be pushed as a singles talent. Hit Row will remain a faction, obviously.

There was a backstage confrontation between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair following last night's Friday Night Smackdown taping in Wichita, Kansas, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources.

We are told the issue arose after Charlotte Flair was said to have voiced concerns before WWE went on the air, concerned about the Championship Exchange segment that featured Becky trading her Smackdown Women's Championship belt for Flair's Raw Women's Championship belt.

We are told by several who were privy to the situation that Flair was voicing that she didn't want to look weak nor did she want her title reign to look weak during the segment. Despite those concerns, the segment went on as planned to close Smackdown.

During the Championship Exchange segment, there was a moment where Flair was to hand the belt to Becky but instead pulled it away and threw the belt on the mat, which was not the way that exchange was expected to go.

At that point, Sonya Deville demanded Flair retrieve the belt and hand it to her, which Flair did. Deville then asked for Becky's title but instead Lynch threw her title belt at Flair, which was also not part of the plan.

Flair picked up the Smackdown belt and did mic work to set up Sasha Banks coming out, which did put the segment back on track with Lynch leaving after teasing a potential Survivor Series showdown with Flair or Banks.

After Flair and Banks had their physical confrontation to close the FOX broadcast, Flair went to the back.

We are told at that point, there was a confrontation between Lynch and Flair over Flair allegedly disrespecting Lynch by "trying to make her look bad", as one source stated, during the segment and there were loud words between the two.

We are told that the situation was heated but did not get physical.
 
And she’ll be in Orlando for dynamite tonight to support her man

Nah she’s just going to an actual wrestling event seeing as though it took 40 minutes to get to the first match on smack down last night
 
I watched that and they both was on some petty bs, but Charlotte will take the brunt of it. Charlotte and Liv Morgan will be #allelite when their contracts are up
 
I heard Becky wanted to grab Charlotte's title then hold up both belts and scream 2 belts becky(she needs to stop that) and Charlotte said nah. Funny because I saw Bexky try and grab the title but it was Sonya who said NO give me the belts.
 
The big story going into the weekend was the backstage confrontation between top WWE superstars Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch following their belt exchange segment on last night’s SmackDown on FOX. PW Insider originally broke the story, stating that the argument the two had was over Charlotte potentially making Lynch “look bad” by throwing down the Raw women’s title when it wasn’t called for in the script. Lynch would retaliate by throwing her SmackDown title at Flair, something that was also unplanned.


In an update from Fightful Select, it appears that the original idea was for Lynch to grab the title away from Charlotte so she could brag about being “Becky 2 Belts” once again, but Sonya Deville, who was moderating the exchange, would order Lynch to give the belt back. It is reported that Flair didn’t think was the best course of action, with many believing that no matter what the segment would come off awkward prior to it going off-script.


During their argument Flair made it a point that her dropping of the Raw women’s title was accidental and was not meant be a shoot. The Queen was then asked to leave the arena before Lynch’s dark match to avoid any further confrontation. Fightful adds that previous reports made by TalkSport about Lynch and Flair having friction is true, and that Flair was unhappy by the booking she had against Bianca Belair on last Monday’s Raw.
