SmackDown!: April 13, 2040

We open with Faith Connors joining us in the ring. She brings up that there's been a lot of talk and wondering over what she plans on doing with her favor afforded to her by Lisa Benton. She wants to make it known that in time she will deal with both Naomi Bailey and Jenna Kyle but that she would prefer to do it as the WWE Women's Champion. So with that said...

...EVERYONE SLOW THEIR ROLE!!! The Women's Champion herself, Sonya Braddock, comes down and gets face to face with Faith. Sonya suggests that Faith shouldn't get too ahead of herself with her hopes and ideas. Last time anyone checked, Sonya Braddock is the main woman of the company and that's not changing anytime soon. Faith brings up how this whole scenario seems a bit familiar. If Faith recalls correctly, she capped off an incredible first year by unseating a woman who not only was the talk of the town but the Women's Champion as well. Oh, that's right, that woman was Sonya Braddock and it sent shockwaves throughout the entire WWE. History has a way of repeating itself when you continue to make the same mistakes. Faith then asks Sonya to allow her to finish her thought and make things official. Faith Connors will indeed be challenging Sonya Braddock for the Women's Title at Backlash. And if anyone has a problem with that, they can get in line and take it up with her after she takes the title home. Braddock objects to this and declares that they'll have to take it up with whatever's left. The segment ends with the two women staring each other down.

Meanwhile, Alexander Piero wants to inform us all about how he has been scouted and contacted by someone who wants to offer their managerial services. With that said, he welcomes Madison to his side and she claims that she knows a winner when she sees one.
