WWE Smackdown: Charlotte beats Becky Lynch to retain Divas Title
Nature Girl steals victory with help from her father, Ric Flair
Tuesday 19 January 2016 11:18, UK
Charlotte beat Becky Lynch to retain the Divas Championship on WWE Smackdown - with a little help from her father, Ric Flair.
The Nature Girl tapped out to Lynch's Dis-arm-her submission hold but avoided defeat when Flair, who was at ringside for the bout, placed his daughter's foot on the ring ropes.
Charlotte then used the ropes as leverage to pin Lynch via a roll-up and dash the Irish grappler's hopes of landing the Divas Title for the first time in her career.
Dean Ambrose, meanwhile, remains Intercontinental Champion after his title tussle with Kevin Owens spilled into the crowd and ended in a double count-out.
Elsewhere, Dolph Ziggler geared up for the Royal Rumble by attacking his partners after he was on the winning side in an eight-man tag-team encounter. CLICK HERE TO ORDER WWE ROYAL RUMBLE
Ziggler banded with Neville, Goldust and R-Truth to overcome The New Day and Miz - but then superkicked Truth and threw Goldust over the top rope before proclaiming that it will be every man for himself in the Royal Rumble Match on January 24.
Plus, Kalisto beat United States Champion Alberto Del Rio in a non-title bout after reversing the Mexican's famed Cross Armbreaker.
