We are back with footage from earlier today when Ronda Rousey was training and Kayla Braxton stopped by.

Charlotte Flair makes her way to the stage.  

Charlotte says she could watch that video package all day.  What I have created to cause pain for Ronda is better than CODA.  Ronda is very very angry.  She is angry that whatever submission she tries on her, I will destroy her.  Ronda is acting like she has her anger under control and that she is cool.  We all know better than that.  Charlotte says that she is cool.  Everyone wanting my autograph and wanting to take a selfie with me, that is cool.  Beating Ronda Rousey to a pulp and walking out of Wrestlemania still the Smackdown women's champion, that's cool.  Ronda, if you want a lesson, stick with me and I will take you to school and show you what is cool.
