Sonya says she petitioned to WWE management earlier that Ronda be fined $100,000 and she would be suspended indefinitely. Out comes Adam Pearce. He says management responded to her petition and he got an email from Vince McMahon. And it reads “Sonya, it has come to my attention that you have been taking matters into your own hands and abusing your power. If there is one thing I can’t stand, it’s a WWE official who abuses their power. So now, I will exercise some of mine. Your petition to fine and suspend Ronda Rousey is declined. As for your inappropriate treatment of Naomi you must face the consequences of your actions. You are not to lay a hand on Naomi tonight, especially as it pertains to her championship match vs. Charlotte Flair. If you disobey me, your job will be in serious jeopardy.”
Out comes Naomi to the ring. She asks her what is wrong and if she ever got ripped a new one by her boss before. Naomi says the funny thing is that Mr. McMahon said Sonya can’t lay a hand on her but he never said Naomi can’t lay a hand on her. Naomi slaps Sonya as she falls to the mat.
