We are back with a look at the Vaudevillains and they will debut on Smackdown.

Lita is in the ring with all of the women superstars because it is time to crown the new Women's Champion.

Lita says she is asked of which women she looked up to growing up in the ring but there were not that many options.  That is not the case now.  The women's division has never been stronger.  Each of these women put their bodies on the line and pushed themselves to the limit.  They are going to do it officially tonight.  She brings out the new WWE Women's Champion, Charlotte.

Charlotte comes to the ring with Ric Flair.

Charlotte takes the Women's title belt and holds it over her head.

Charlotte says this moment is about gratitude.  This is about all of the women in this ring.  The superstars in this ring who collectively made this happen.  You believed in us.  Charlotte thanks everyone.  She says this is the future.  

Most importantly she won at Wrestlemania.  Charlotte says he wouldn't have gone down as the first Women's Champion if it wasn't for her father, Ric Flair.  She says he always goes above and beyond for her.  She says she is finally immortalized.  She thanks her father and she thanks everyone for being there last night because her energy fueled her victory.

Charlotte says some of you have been here for seven or eight years and she has been her less than a year.

Charlotte woooos to try to shut up the crowd.

Charlotte points out she is the last Divas Champion and the first Women's Champion.

Charlotte tells Sasha and Becky they did it, but she really did it.

Sasha and Paige leave followed by Tamina, Naomi, and the rest of the women. 

Natalya takes a mic and tells Charlotte that she needs to learn a thing or two about humility.

Charlotte says she is ready for this lesson.

Natalya says she gave Charlotte some of her hardest matches and she does not respect her.  Natalya says Charlotte talks about being genetically superior, but she has the Hart of a champion.

Charlotte says the ttle means that her family will always be better than her family.

Natalya with a double leg take down and sets up for the Sharpshooter but Ric pulls his daughter to safety.

Renee Young is with AJ Styles.  He says that there is a feeling in the air and that feeling is change.  Shane McMahon is running Raw.  We have a champion who wants to face all challengers.  AJ says he did not come here to lose one match and fade away.  He came to be WWE Champion.  Tonight starts a new era and that era is Phenomenal.

We are back and so are the Colons.  They talk about how good Puerto Rico is.

Match Number Six:  D-Von Dudley and Bubba Ray Dudley versus Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso in a Tables Match

Winners:  D-Von Dudley and Bubba Ray Dudley

Sami Zayn is with Renee and she asks Sami if he has been in a Fatal Four Way.  Sami says he has been in all type of matches.  Many thought he would not be in a match for the WWE Title.  He thought last night was big, but tonight is a bigger opportunity.  He needs to win tonight to prove it to himself.  He needs to win to show that he can be the WWE Champion.

Owens attacks Zayn from behind and sends him into a case.  He tells Sami to prove it to the world.  Owens with a power bomb through the table.

We are back and we see Sami Zayn being attacked by Kevin Owens and power bombed through a table.

The announcers wonder what does this mean for the Fatal Four Way Match.

The Dudleys are still on the ramp and out come Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady.

Enzo introduces himself and he says that he is a certified G and a bona fide stud, and you can't teach that.  Enzo says this is Big Cass.  He is seven feet tall and you can't teach that.

Bubba and D-Von stand on the ramp wondering what is going on in the ring.

Enzo says he is Smacktalker Skywalker and he says he sees a couple of haters.  He says hate ain't nothing but love covered by jealousy and you are ugly as hell.  Tears go down the back of your head to avoid your face.  They ain't here to play any games.  If you want to play games, he has the gift of gab and the gift of jab.  He wll put D-Von's lazy eye to work.

Enzo tells Bubba he better think twice and it will be two more thoughts than you had.  He says that Big Cass will serve breakfast on you any time like IHOP.

Colin takes the mic.  He says it seems like you don't like what he is saying.  Why don't you come to this ring and do something.

Bubba and D-Von make ther way to the ring but they get on the apron and go back.

Colin says there is only one word to describe you and he is going to spell it out . . . S-A-W-F-T.

We see photos of the Rock on Raw and the confrontation with the Wyatt Family and the return of John Cena.
