Result: Becky Lynch (by DQ)

Grade: 3.5/5.0 Stars

Analysis: Great match despite the inconclusive finish. The table spot after the match was absolutely insane. Absolutely amazing. This is a great way to build up to Kabuki Warriors vs. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair at TLC. It was strange that Charlotte did not come out to help Lynch despite their heated confrontation backstage. Camera then shifts backstage to AJ Styles asserting that he will beat Rey Mysterio to win back his championship and end Orton’s career. Backstage camera then shows Charlotte Flair chatting with Lynch. She respectfully tells Lynch that she had a good match. Charlotte then walks away and gets attacked by Kabuki Warriors.
