Florence is thrown into the deep end as the new RAW Ring Announcer. She previously worked at Smackdown, but was moved in tow with her ex boyfriend Trevor.
What happens when she comes into contact with the Eradicator, Rhea Ripley, who warns her to s...
Smackdown opened with the energising music of the LWO. The crowd of Puerto Rico absolutely adored them, surprising me with how loud they were. It was a beautiful thing.
I announced the members of the LWO, one by one uniquely as the stepped in the ring. They actually had to wait for the crowd to settle for a minute before Rey could even talk.
Rey talked about his struggles of his relationship with Dom. He began getting into how bad of an influence The Judgment Day was on him. At that, the eerily like music of The Judgment Day played.
I looked down the aisle, and watched as Rhea, Dom, Finn and Damien paced their way towards the ring. Rhea had this deep scowl on her face, Dom following his "Mami."
Rey tried to intervene whatever Rhea was going to say by speaking over her and trying to connect with Dom. All of the members were having none of it.
Rhea stepped to Rey, threatening him in the frightening way she does.
Then Zelina stepped up, getting in the face of Rhea as best as she could. The audience was 100% behind Zelina, cheering her on.
I noticed the height difference... extremely different between the two women.

Rhea all but smiled menacingly down at Zelina, like she was nothing but a child.
Rey tried to coke between the two women, talking about how they should back up from one another, wait for tomorrow night in the ring.
"I don't want to wait." Zelina turned to Rey, obviously pumped and angry, wanting a match with Rhea tonight.
"Scared for Zelina, are you Rey? Don't have much faith in her." Rhea joked, smiling.
Dom stepped up beside Rhea. "Zelina wants a fight. Mami wants a fight. I want a fight." The crowd boomed with excitement at what was coming. "How about, you fight the both of us?" Dom said over Rheas shoulder.
Finn cackling in the back.

As Zelina and Rey seemed to be considering it. I noticed Rheas eyes stray to where I was sitting a second. Then she did it again.
Zelina nodded as Rey accepted the challenge from Rhea and Dom. The main event was now set up.
