Most Notable Return: Charlotte Flair

This week's most notable return was Charlotte Flair. With her last appearance being at Money in the Bank, Charlotte came back this week and defeated Carmella to get herself added to the SmackDown Live Women's Championship match at SummerSlam. With a title match looming, can Charlotte Flair make up for lost time by winning the Women's title at SummerSlam, defeating current champion Carmella and best friend Becky Lynch to do so?
