As tempting as it was to put Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka in here and wax lyrical about their WrestleMania match, that wasn't really a feud. It was more of an exhibition than anything, and that's why Becky Lynch has been installed in Asuka's place. Her phenomenal rise from background babyface to anti-heroine for the masses has been epic.

Epic.

Frustration boiled over when Charlotte pinned Lynch in a Triple Threat with Carmella at SummerSlam. Post-match, Becky beat the living p*ss out of her former BFF and justified the kicking by citing fan support for Flair while she was overlooked. It was a story people could see reality in, and that's why it worked.

In-ring, Flair and Becky had a decent match at Hell In A Cell, followed that up with similarly solid work at Super Show-Down and on SmackDown, then tore the house down at Evolution. This belongs on any list looking at 2018's best, if only because of the impact the turn and feud has had on Becky's standing.
