Here is your post-WWE/AEW fight size update for Friday, October 29, 2021.
WWE SmackDown
– Charlotte Flair opened SmackDown but was quickly interrupted by Sasha Banks who asked when she was getting a Women’s Championship opportunity. The Queen said that Sasha needed to earn her shot and instead wants to give a chance to a new face.
Shotzi answered the call and had a Championship Contenders Match against Charlotte. After Sasha got on the ring apron, Shotzi got distracted, allowing Flair to hit her finisher for the win.
After the bell, Shotzi took her frustrations out on Banks, attacking The Boss and blaming her for the loss.

– Last week, Brock Lesnar was suspended indefinitely by WWE Official Adam Pearce. The Beast didn’t agree with the decision and hit Pearce with two F5s. Tonight, appearing from his home, Pearce revealed that he called Lesnar and informed him that he has been fined one million dollars for his actions.
– Mustafa Ali answered Drew McIntyre’s open challenge, but unfortunately for him, the Scottish Warrior proved too much for him to overcome. After the bell, Ali got on the mic and said that the only reason the crowd doesn’t cheer for him is because his name is Mustafa Ali.
