SmackDown this week took place in Birmingham, Alabama

Smackdown General Manager kicked the show off with a contract signing for the Women’s Championship match at No Mercy between Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss. Both ladies hit the ring, did some trash-talking and then Alexa decided to rearrange Becky’s skull with the clipboard. Lynch wasn’t down for long however, as a rear assault sent Alexa  fleeing up the ramp. All on her own, Lynch signed the contract and headed backstage.
