Flair appears on the ‘tron and says she doesn’t quit. She felt the Rousey’s armbar and she is still the champion. Flair says no and tells her to go to the back of the line, b*tch. Rousey says she’s going to get her match and Flair isn’t going to say she quits, she’s going to say scream it when she turns Flair’s elbow backward.
