In a pre-tape, Lady Frost says she isn’t afraid of Charlotte Flair. She’s not saying anything she hasn’t been hearing. Her title win was a fluke. Her Money in the Bank win was a fluke. Her just being in WCW is a fluke. Well, when does all she’s accomplished in her career stop being a fluke and just becomes her just being that damn good. When Flair beats her for this belt, it will be a cold day in hell.
