WWE is polling fans to vote for her replacement as Bobby Roode is now in need of a tag team partner tonight as he is slating to step into the ring against the voted in team of Finn Balor & Sasha Banks.
The vote will take place tonight & either Carmella, Becky Lynch or Lana will be voted in to replace Charlotte Flair.
Here is the report from WWE.com:
With SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair unable to compete on WWE Mixed Match Challenge tonight due to injury, a fan vote will determine Bobby Roode‘s new partner against the Second Chance Fan Vote-winning tandem of Finn Bálor & Sasha Banks.
The charismatic team of Bálor & Banks kicked off the groundbreaking tournament in Week 1 with a tough win over Shinsuke Nakamura & Natalya, but their hopes for triumph came crashing down when they were defeated in a hard-fought second-round contest against “Team Awe-ska.” Nevertheless, the WWE Universe made it very clear that they wanted “The Boss Club” back in the mix, handing them an incredible 40 percent of the Second Chance Vote. Now that The Boss and The Extraordinary Man have their names back in the brackets, a victory tonight would set up a rematch against the very team that defeated them in the first place. But, who exactly will they be facing? Which Superstar does the WWE Universe think can will replace Flair as Roode’s tag team partner?
