Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair have that kind of rivalry that just doesn’t seem like it will ever end, but unlike, say, John Cena and Randy Orton, their matches typically keep fans invested.

The two women had a pretty good opening match Monday night, with Lynch and Flair trading all their signature spots, all just to determine which brand would get the #1 pick for the night. The finish was a clever bit, with Charlotte becoming increasingly frustrated at not being able to put Becky away. After nailing a spear for a close 2 count, Flair sat and pouted for a minute, only for Lynch to grab a crucifix pin for the victory.

It was a nice way to end the match, with Charlotte making a mistake out of frustration rather than slipping on a banana peel or being distracted by someone’s entrance music.
