What a fight!

Brawling from the opening bell, Becky Lynch played up to the fact that it had been a year since she bested Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Title midway through her transformation into 'The Man' by slapping Sasha Banks just as hard as she had 'The Queen' upon first abandoning her old persona.

The two didn't let up after that. Lynch remained aggressive throughout, allowing Banks room to remind everybody how awesome she is at selling as a heel. She dangerously donated her body to the cause at points here, but looked fuelled by that particular adrenaline only really evident from performers when they're feeling creatively engaged.

"Creatively engaged" perhaps wasn't the best description of the agents tasked with finding a non-finish here, but it was only a rung bell short of decently justifying the pair possibly going to battle inside a Cell next month.

This could prove the perfect arena for 'The Boss' to rectify yet more wrongs from her past - a high profile loss in 2016 dampened her history-making spirits. Victory in 2019 could provide sweet vindication, especially if the match itself goes as well as this blistering battle did.
