Women’s Championship Scheduled For WWE Fastlane
Ruby Riott wants to take out the women's division.
During Smackdown, Ruby Riott pinned Becky Lynch during a six-woman tag team match. Fightful Wrestling had live coverage of Smackdown and the following is an excerpt from The Riott Squad's victory.
Becky then hits a missile dropkick and a series of clotheslines before locking in the Disarmer until Liv breaks it up, then everyone hits a move before Ruby hits Becky with the Riott Lock for the pin and the win.
Winner: Riott Squad defeats Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Naomi via pinfall when Ruby hits Becky with the Riott Kick.
After the match, Riott said there was "one down and two to go." She then said she wanted to face Naomi next week and challenged Charlotte Flair to a championship match at WWE Fastlane. Flair accepted her challenge and WWE tweeted the video. That tweet can be seen below.

WWE also confirmed the match on the broadcast of Smackdown.
Over the past few weeks, Riott and her stable The Riott Squad have been feuding with Flair, Lynch, and Naomi. Riott and Flair have only faced each other in singles competition once before and the match ended in a disqualification.
Fightful Wrestling will be providing live coverage and a recapping podcast of Riott's match against Naomi next week and the championship match WWE Fastlane.
