4: Lynch and Flair to respond to Rousey

In the main event of TLC, Charlotte Flair, Asuka and Becky Lynch proved why they belonged in the coveted spot, when they delivered in the epic first-ever Women's TLC match.

But when the dust settled, it was RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey who made the difference, attacking both Flair and Lynch mid-match.

Clearly a retaliation for both the Queen and the Man assaulting her, both verbally and physically, Rousey's interference practically handed the title to Asuka, who scaled a ladder to make history.

Of course, though, neither Flair or Lynch will be happy about this, and are expected to respond to Rousey tonight on SmackDown Live.

With Flair rumored to be Rousey's Royal Rumble opponent, and Lynch her opponent for WrestleMania, expect things to get heated between these three Superstars.
