Result: Kabuki Warriors

Grade: 3.0/5.0 Stars

Analysis: This match had a slow start but it picked up really well and these women made this handicap match steal the show. The crowd was really behind Charlotte here since she was at a severe disadvantage against one of the greatest women’s tag teams in the WWE today. Great performance, just like last night at Starrcade. Many expected Becky Lynch to save Charlotte, but that did not seem to be the case. It’ll be interesting to see if that occurs next week. Charlotte then has a backstage interview with Sarah Schreiber as Sarah asks if Charlotte regrets challenging the Kabuki Warriors and Charlotte replies with a candid ‘no.’
