WWE SmackDown Women's Championship Match
Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair (c)
WrestleMania 34
When Asuka first showed in NXT I had no idea who she was. Honestly when they showed her in the crowd I thought she was Ric Flairs date. But quickly she made me fan, becoming one of my favorites in the company.
She debuted on the main roster and maintained her status as an bamf and made history by winning the first every Women's Royal Rumble. This is her first WM and her first encounter with Charlotte, as she was gone from NXT during Asukas rise...and my God what a match!
These two threw everything at each other in the name of the belt and the streak. The first opponents worked well together, looking more like old foes. Charlotte took a beating and Asuka was just as giving to the Queen. One thing I've admired about Charlotte is despite the main roster creatives (or probably Vince) best efforts, she doesn't coast off her name. She'll take a beating and take big bumps in the name of putting her opponents over, even if her selling doesn't always hit the mark.
A great match that deserved to happen for the first time at WM. The brought that big WM feeling and worked their asses off. I'm really looking forward to the rematch tonight.
