5 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Super Show-Down
4. Flair Up
Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch had their best match in months in Melbourne - gone was the sloppiness awkwardly on display during their SummerSlam triple threat and Hell In A Cell title change, replaced with a dynamic enhanced greatly by the superlative character work from both on SmackDown Live in the last few months.
Charlotte's dominance was readily and rightfully apparent in the closing stages. Like the feud itself, the match didn't particularly pander to typical heel/face tropes - it in fact subverted them to give the fans the best of both worlds.
'The Queen' locking on a boston crab in the latter stages (after twice assuming control over a slightly overmatched Lynch) created the escape hatch for Becky that ultimate led to the DQ-triggering title belt even entering the fray. This was one of several pleasingly logical interludes in the contest, as was the manner in which she whipped the challenger as she lay defeated in the Figure Eight.
Decking Flair in the post-match, Lynch walked out defeated but not dethroned. On recent form, their Evolution semi-main should really be topping the bill.
