#9 Asuka vs Becky Lynch (Royal Rumble 2019)

Facing off in a bit of a dream match in front of more than 40,000 fans, Asuka successfully defended her Smackdown women's title against "The Man" Becky Lynch at the 2019 Royal Rumble in Phoenix, Arizona.

Though the match never quite hit a high note in terms of false finishes or huge spots, the grappling between Asuka and Lynch was superb.

The catch wrestling reversals and chain sequences flowed well, making both women look like masters of their craft.

Asuka used her signature hip attack and stiff strikes, while Becky unleashed some kicks of her own as well as well as a super exploder suplex off the top rope just before the finish.

Becky's other exploder suplex, outside the ring, led the Empress to later return the favour with a twisting fisherman suplex off the apron onto the floor.

Still, this was primarily a wrestling match rather than a spotfest, and both women deserve credit for a job well done.
