On the August 18 episode of WWE Smackdown, Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair were victorious in their tag team match. However, Bianca Belair was attacked backstage by Damage CTRL. Her knee was targeted, playing off of an injury that she was selling from WWE Summerslam. However, we’re told the knee injury is just a storyline.
