Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka
The three women square off, and it’s not long before Charlotte and Becky Lynch are chirping at each other. Charlotte shoves Becky, and Asuka, having had enough, drop kicks Becky.
Asuka gets tossed out of the ring fairly early, and it’s Becky and Charlotte trading strikes in the ring. Charlotte, Becky, and Asuka all are grabbing ladders from under the ring.
Charlotte sets up a table in the corner, and she slams Asuka’s head into it before stomping on her neck, all while Becky’s trying to set up a ladder. Charlotte and Asuka get into it before Asuka lands two huge knees to Charlottes chest.
Asuka sets her sights on Becky, and she slams Becky from the top rope onto a ladder. Asuka goes to set up a ladder now. Charlotte’s the one who ends up climbing it this first time, but Asuka gets underneath Charlotte and powerbombs her through the table.
Asuka tried to climb now, but Becky hits a dropkick on Asuka from the top rope. Becky tries to climb, but Asuka pulls her right off. Asuka lands a hip attack on Becky on the apron, and Charlotte hits Asuka with a chair. Charlotte climbs to the top rope and lands a huge moonsault onto Asuka and Becky outside the ring.
Becky grabs a chair and takes turns slamming Charlotte and Asuka. Charlotte slams into Becky before she begins throwing Asuka into it. Becky grabs a chair again and smacks Charlotte square in the back.
Becky sets up a ladder, outside the ring? Oh, this smells like bad news…
Becky slams Charlotte’s head into the announce table before sprawling both women on it. Becky climbs the ladder, and yep… slams down onto Charlotte and Asuka. You can hear Charlotte moaning “oh god, oh god,” and she rolls off the table.
Asuka still manages to crawl into the ring and up the ladder. Becky meets her on the other side, and as the two meet at the top, they trade sticks. Asuka JUST touched the belt before Becky knocks her back. Becky reaches, but then here comes Charlotte with a kendo stick!
Charlotte really is going in on that kendo stick, screaming at the crowd “it’s my title!”
Becky grabs Charlotte and suplexes her into a table along the barricade. Asuka grabs a kendo stick and absolutely obliterates Becky. Charlotte then spears the living hell out of Asuka, right through the barricade!
Meanwhile, Becky is climbing the ladder! Charlotte sneaks up behind her and yanks her off, and the two are squaring up in a shouting match. They trade strikes all throughout the ring, until Becky tackles Charlotte and lays into her with punches. Charlotte hits Becky with heavy chops at ringside, before she tosses the TV off the Spanish announce table.
Charlotte sprawls Becky out on a table before climbing to the top rope and flips out onto Becky! The table snaps right in half, and Charlotte races back into the ring to grab a ladder!
Charlotte’s soaring up, and she’s right at the top before Asuka flies right up there too! The two trade strikes, and one of them hand their hand balancing them on the belt! Charlotte’s slamming Asuka’s head into the ladder, all while Becky sets up a ladder right next to them!
Asuka falls off the ladder, and Charlotte moves over to meet Becky at the top of her ladder.

Ronda Rousey came out and knocked the two of them off their ladder. Asuka climbs the ladder and grabs the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Grade: Absolutely. Out. Standing.
Well, phew… that’s it everyone. What a frickin’ pay-per-view. Tune in with us tomorrow for live coverage of what should hopefully be a better Raw, and Tuesday for what will FOR SURE be an unbelievable SmackDown. Thank you, and goodnight!
