What else can you say about Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Asuka?

The three women made history Sunday night, competing in the first women’s TLC match, and they didn’t disappoint. All three took some brutal hits, with Charlotte serving as a one-woman wrecking crew. Flair speared Asuka through the barricade, hit a somersault senton to put Becky through a table, and just generally abused everyone on offense.

The action kept moving forward, keeping the crowd into the match. It was great to see them string together not just a coherent TLC match, but a really good one at that. The drama and action worked really well.

And the ending wasn’t bad either.
