Your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

Adam Pearce is in the ring with the official contract signing table, official contract signing carpet, official contract signing chairs and microphones.

Adam brings out Smackdown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair.  Adam brings out the challenger, Ronda Rousey.

Adam tells them that they need their signatures on the contract to make it official, but there is no contract on the table.

Drew Gulak makes his way to the ring with the contract and Adam says that Drew is his new intern.

Drew thanks Adam for the opportunity and Drew has prepared a POWER POINT PRESENTATION for the rules of an I Quit Match.

Charlotte tells Drew to shut up or she will make him quit his new job before he is hired.  Charlotte tells Ronda she won at Wrestlemania and the crowd chants that Charlotte taps out.  Charlotte explains the rules for the match and then she says she has been fantasizing how she would make Ronda say I Quit.  A boot to the face, a figure four, the figure eight.  Charlotte says that is too predictable.  How about an old fashioned beating.  Like at Wrestlemania, I always find a way to win.  At Backlash, I will make you say two of the most beautiful words in the English language, "I QUIT'.

Charlotte signs the contract.

Ronda tells Charlotte that I Quit means that there is no referee to spare you from any embarrassment.  Ronda says no ref will pull her off Charlotte or tell her when it is over.  You will say that you are better than me.  You will surrender your baby, the Smackdown championship, when I make you say "I QUIT".  

Charlotte pushes over the table and grabs a kendo stick and hits Ronda with it.  Ronda takes the kendo stick and hits Charlotte.

Drew takes the kendo stick from Ronda and has her sign the contract but Ronda gets Drew on her shoulders for Piper's Pit.  Ronda puts Drew in a cross arm breaker and Ronda signs the contract.
