Charlotte Flair secured a victory over Asuka on WWE SmackDown, earning her team an edge in the upcoming Women’s War Games match at Survivor Series. Flair will join forces with Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, Alexa Bliss, and AJ Lee, while Asuka will team up with her Women’s Tag Team Championship partners Kairi Sane, Nia Jax, Rush Legends, and Becky Lynch. Initially hesitant to collaborate with her rival Ripley, Flair was convinced after some persuasion. Flair and Bliss recently lost their Women’s Tag Team Championship to Asuka and Sane, continuing the rivalry between the two. Before this match, Flair and Asuka faced each other 14 times in singles matches since WrestleMania 34, tied at six wins each with two draws. In this latest encounter, Flair prevailed by avoiding Asuka’s signature moves and hitting the Natural Selection for the pin. This win marks Flair’s first singles victory since her August triumph over U.S. Women’s Champion Chelsea Green.
Fan Take: This win is crucial for Charlotte Flair, reinforcing her status as a top contender in WWE’s women’s division. It intensifies the rivalry with Asuka and sets the stage for an electrifying Women’s War Games match that could redefine future storylines in WWE.
