Asuka, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch are the three marquee superstars of Smackdown Live, for now. They have delivered the first-ever Tables, Ladders and Chairs match on December 16th to make history. Asuka won her maiden title on the main roster, that night. Ever since then, WWE is using this trio in the main event spotlight in the house shows. They are competing in several live events in the triple threat scenario over the Smackdown women’s championship.
WWE hosted the final house show of the year 2018 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The main event match of the night witnessed the same lineup featuring these three ladies. Well, it turned out to be a memorable one due to a couple of reasons. Firstly, Asuka performed a scary botch that could have injured Becky Lynch for good. Secondly, Becky Lynch performed a Stone Cold move on the show fuelling up the comparison with the legend himself.

The match was going in a back and forth way when Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch hammered way each other in the corner. Lynch hit to the face of Flair putting her down to set up a drop-kick position. Asuka used her as a stepper and went to perform the dropkick on Becky Lynch. But she missed the move and almost hit hard on Becky’s knees.
Fortunately for The Man, Asuka’s kick did not hit the legs of the former Smackdown women’s champion. It saved her from a potential knee injury and wrap up the final 2018 house show with no bad news. But this accident pointed out hoe ‘botchmania’ can be a big reason while injuring the fans.
Becky Lynch herself stole the show during the match, however. She pulled off a stunner on Charlotte Flair that received huge cheers from the crowd. But then again, it started the comparisons between herself and the Texas Rattlesnake. Some of the hardcore Becky fans do believe that she is the modern-day version of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Her carefree attitude is the biggest reason for the same which is much similar to the former franchise player of the WWE. Using the same, she owned John Cena on Smackdown, last night. Only continuing the push towards her will cement her spot to somewhat similar to Stone Cold in future.
