The request was denied by Pearce which forced Deville to take matters into her own hands by attacking Flair from behind while she was in the middle of an interview.

The two stars then had a huge brawl backstage as security guards and WWE officials were called up to separate the two stars and break up the fight.

It looks like the plan is to do a short Flair vs Deville feud.

Charlotte Flair won the Smackdown Women's Championship after she made a shocking return and defeated Ronda Rousey in an impromptu match.

Rousey hasn't been seen on WWE TV since her defeat and it looks very likely that she will be returning to Smackdown to get revenge for her defeat.
