2: Charlotte Flair Vs Ruby Riott
Charlotte Flair and Ruby Riott’s feud over the Women’s title has always felt like a placeholder until Asuka arrived, and while the match may have been lacking in any unpredictably, these two women really stepped up their game at Fastlane.
Charlotte is one of, if not the finest women wrestlers in the WWE today, so her performance was not a surprise. Ruby Riott, on the other hand, is still fairly new to the main roster and has not had the time to show us what she is capable of yet. That all changed last night when Riott gave her final in-ring performance on the main roster to date.
Sure, there were interruptions from The Riott Squad and from Becky Lynch and Naomi, but Charlotte and Riott rose above that and delivered one of the best Smackdown Women’s Title matches in quite some time. The two women shared a great chemistry and the match had plenty of excellent exchanges. Asuka showing up post-match was one of the best moments of the night, and a match between her and Charlotte could easily steal the show at Wrestlemania.
