Two and a half hours into Monday Night Raw and it’s been an action packed one for sure. Jordan Huie of the Overtimer here to give you results in addition to my live recap.
Asuka and Charlotte Flair just went to battle, and an excerpt from my play by play is below:
Charlotte back suplexes her way out of a side headlock. Asuka wants the feet up, Charlotte whips them away, pulls her to the center, charges for the spear but Asuka turns this into a sort-of Codebreaker for the nearfall! Charlotte with a takedown, Natural Selection gets turned into a Triangle Choke! Charlotte stacks her up, hooks the legs, turns this into a Boston Crab! Asuka squirming. Makes it to the bottom rope. Charlotte pulls her to the center, stomp to the face. Asuka with a roundhouse, Charlotte responds with a back elbow. Knee drop to the singled out leg of Asuka! Roundhouse kick nailed, but Charlotte bounces off for the big spear! Nearfall.
Kairi Sane emerges from the crowd, Charlotte pursues and chases, grabs her off the barrier and posts her! Asuka thrown into the ring. Charlotte pursues, Kairi distracts the ref as Asuka spits the mist into the face of Charlotte! Asuka rolls her up and stacks her up to hide the paint, that is that!
With a little help from Kairi Sane and a spit of the mist, Asuka got a dirty – in more ways than one – victory over the multi-time champion Charlotte Flair.
Asuka almost definitely has a shot at Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch in her future. This win was a solid way of helping to get her there. Of course, with the less-than-decisive victory, she may have a rematch with Charlotte in the near future as well.
It should be noted that Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair are advertised as challenging the Kabuki Warriors for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in a Texas Tornado Tag Team match at Starrcade.
It’s clear that things are far from over as it pertains to this situation. And I will be covering it as it unfolds every step of the way. Jordan Huie of the Overtimer here, and we are just about finishing up here for Monday Night Raw!
