She's blazed a trail in the world of MMA and gone on to make a name for herself at the highest level in WWE. So, this is not an article hating on Ronda Rousey at all. It is just an opinion piece. In my opinion, Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair should have closed the show at Evolution. Not Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella. And in this article, I shall elaborate why this is the case. Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news. Of course, I'm always ready to listen to your point of view. If you think that I am wrong in my assessment, please feel free to let me know. Here is why I think Flair vs. Lynch should have main evented Evolution. #5 The match quality was better Rousey vs. Bella did not compare at all I will go on record and make a very bold statement here. I personally thought that Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch may have been the best women's main roster match ever. It was an extremely well plotted match not only with spots but with a great story too. It was the story of a woman who was sick of being the nice girl and had tapped into her dark side to go the extra mile and defeat her former best friend. The women had incredible chemistry and put their bodies on the line for our entertainment, time and again. By the time the match was done, one could not help but offer a standing ovation. On the other hand, I felt that while Ronda Rousey and Nikki Bella had a solid match, it wasn't nearly as good as this one, for sure. Flair vs. Lynch should have really gone on last. 1 / 5 NEXT<doc-sep>
Becky Lynch’s heel turn meant a change in personality, but it certainly didn’t mean that she wouldn’t be successful. Lynch captured the SmackDown Women’s Title from her old best friend Charlotte Flair after attacking her at SummerSlam to kick-start her heel turn and it was off to the races after that. But at WWE Evolution, things took a very violent turn during their last woman standing match. It is the first match of its kind for women in WWE, and any future matches will have an amazing contest to live up to. There were tables, ladders, and chairs throughout the match. Flair tried to take Becky Lynch’s knees out by focusing on her legs — she even did a Figure 8 through the ladder which made the Lass Kicker tap out. But the match carried on after Lynch got a chair and whacked her way free from the hold and got back to her feet on the outside. In one spot, Lynch took a bump onto a pile of chairs and then Flair soon did the same. Flair set Lynch up for a spot through the table, but the wood didn’t break with a moonsault — so they did a second take and the table certainly broke that time. A ladder got involved and Lynch hit a brutal drop through the announce table on Flair. Becky even tried to pile chair and a broke table on Flair, but she still got up. Finally, they set another table up on the outside while Michael Cole asked, “another one” and the 3rd table bump did the job. After powerbombing Charlotte Flair through a table from the top turnbuckle to the outside — Flair was unable to get to her feet by the referee’s 10 count. Therefore, the winner and still SmackDown Women’s Champion is Becky Lynch after an incredibly hard-fought battle at WWE Evolution.
