1. Becky Lynch Segment

The feud between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair over the past several weeks has taken the blue brand’s women’s division by storm.  Lynch’s heel turn and subsequent SmackDown Women’s Championship win has taken things to another level and despite operating as the heel in the situation, Lynch is getting some of the biggest babyface reactions of anyone in the WWE.

The Irish Lass Kicker will defend her title at Super Show-Down for the first time against Charlotte, but last night was all about Lynch’s Super Show-Down surprise.  This segment closed out the show and Lynch made sure she made her presence felt.  It started out with Lynch bragging about herself and trying to diminish Charlotte, as expected.

It would continue with Lynch giving another stellar promo before she unveiled her surprise.  She said despite being the champion, she still isn’t on any of the posters, TV shows, and souvenir items the WWE produces.  So, Lynch decided to take matters into her own hands by unveiling a new Super Show-Down poster with Lynch standing over Charlotte with her title held high.

The Queen had seen enough and she came out to the ring to give Lynch a piece of her mind in the form of a beatdown.  The two brawled briefly before Charlotte got the upper hand and eventually suplexed Lynch into that new poster.  She finished things off by locking in a Figure Four with Lynch hanging off the ring apron on the outside.  Charlotte stood tall and has the momentum heading into Super Show-Down.

For the final showdown before Super Show-Down, The Queen and The Irish Lass Kicker left things in a pretty solid place with a good segment.

Final Grade: B+
