Three WWE Dream matches that lived up to the hype and two that didn't.

#1 WWE Dream match that delivered - Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka.

The Queen vs. The Empress at WWE WrestleMania 34.

On a night where AJ Styles faced Shinsuke Nakamura and Daniel Bryan returned to in-ring competition after 2 years, nobody expected Charlotte and Asuka to steal the show at WrestleMania 34. After a hard-fought battle, Charlotte Flair defeated Asuka in this excellent match to become the second WWE Superstar to conquer a winning streak in New Orleans.

The buildup to this dream match began when Asuka survived 29 other competitors to win the first-ever WWE Women’s Royal Rumble Match. This allowed Asuka to face the champion of her choice at WrestleMania. Asuka chose to challenge Charlotte in a match billed as the streak vs. title at "The Showcase of Immortals."

The stage was set for one of the biggest women's matches in WWE history. It was "The Queen" vs. "The Empress" on "The Grandest Stage of Them All." Charlotte Flair put her SmackDown Women’s Championship on the line against Asuka's undefeated streak.

The match started well as Flair and Asuka looked to tear each other apart in this nail-biting contest. The match featured many sensational moments. Asuka countered a beautiful moonsault and locked Flair in a Triangle Choke. Later, Flair hitting a picture-perfect Spanish Fly on Asuka from the top rope.

The match also amazed John Cena, who was sitting among the WWE Universe during the course of the match. After several innovative submission hold attempts, Asuka finally submitted to "The Queen" after Flair locked her in a modified Figure Eight Leg Lock.

As a result, Charlotte retained her title but broke Asuka’s 914 days winning streak. The match is still regarded by many as one of the greatest women's matches in WrestleMania history.
