Smackdown was able to set up a dream matchup at this year’s WWE TLC. Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Asuka are the three strongest performers of WWE female roster. They have continuously delivered solid contests throughout the year of 2018 in separate lineups. Witnessing them together in a match would be a treat for the fans.
That became reality on last night’s PPV event as Becky Lynch defended her title against Charlotte Flair and Asuka. An added attraction of the match was the stipulation. This was the first-ever TABLES, LADDERS AND CHAIRS match in the history of the women’s division. Needless to say that it was another accolade earned by the women.
There were some uncertainties about the participation of Becky Lynch in this WWE TLC match. A concussion was supposedly giving a lot of troubles keeping her status in jeopardy. Thankfully, she managed to recuperate in time to compete in this women’s championship match. Hence the triple threat became a reality, indeed.
Multiple spots were available in this WWE TLC match that turned out to be extremely physical. Charlotte Flair tried to get some momentums with chops to the chest of Becky Lynch who came back with an exploder suplex. The champion cleared the commentary table and set up Charlotte Flair and Asuka for a jump. Asuka managed to escape the jump off the ladder as Becky landed hard on the Queen.
It was nasty bump indeed but did not prevent Charlotte Flair to get right back into this WWE TLC match. She fought off against Asuka inside the ring until receiving a powerbomb. Asuka tried to climb the ladder and got the title but Becky Lynch prevented her with a missile dropkick. Charlotte Flair then returned the favor to Becky Lynch putting her through the announce table.
Asuka was also down after digesting a huge spear outside the ring from The Queen. Charlotte Flair started climbing the ladder where somehow Becky Lynch joined her, too. These two traded punches when Ronda Rousey’s music hit. She came down to interfere at WWE TLC by tilting the ladder so that both the ladies had a nasty fall off the top. Asuka got a fully cleared ring who had no problems to climb and grab the Smackdown women’s championship. Asuka celebrating closed the night but there would be a lot of fallouts regarding Rousey’s actions at WWE TLC.
