10 Best Matches From The First Five Years Of WWE’s Women’s Evolution
2. Ronda Rousey Vs Charlotte Flair (Survivor Series 2018)
Ronda Rousey couldn't keep having the same sort of banger she'd had for all of 2018 and keep on smiling. WWE hasn't been that place for 20 years now - the glow of her debut through to the remarkable success stories of her follow-up matches were destined to hit a wall eventually. Survivor Series was where she came face to face with the hatred of audience abandon. Ironically, it followed her best ever match.
It was perhaps destined to be this way. Winning the Raw Women's Title at SummerSlam, she was a killer. Defending it Evolution, she was a Sports Entertainer. Leading with it at Survivor Series, she was both.
In career form, Charlotte Flair was at it again after being on the wrong end of some righteous encounters with former friend Becky Lynch ahead of taking 'The Man's place in this match with just days to go. 'The Queen' worked out of her skin to work herself in to a WrestleMania triple threat spot over 14 disgustingly brilliant minutes.
Rousey was battered, bruised and bleeding by the end, but she'd never shone brighter.
