If ever there was such a thing as an impeccable match, wrestling fans may have seen one to close the show at TLC. Charlotte Flair, Asuka, and SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch once again set out to make history by competing in the first ever Women's Triple Threat TLC Match and once again the woman did not disappoint. Despite carrying history's heavy burden, the match surpassed even the loftiest expectations.

The bout was outstanding. To sum it up with mere words, if violence can be made into art, Asuka, Flair, and Lynch succeeded in bringing the highest of arts to the WWE Universe. The brutality was endless and wonderful.

As Becky Lynch was hit in the face with a table, fans bristled, hoping the most beloved female Superstar in the WWE would survive such brutality. She would and despite the sickening thud her head made when hitting the arena floor, Lynch continued the bout unhindered.

The exquisitely painful artform continued like a symphony playing its way to a crescendo. Lynch was the unfortunate recipient of a brutal Asuka powerbomb onto the cold steel of an unforgiving ladder, but it was just the beginning, just a taste of what these women would come to endure.

Then it was Charlotte who was next christened by violence, as she was put through a wooden table.

Becky Lynch did not forget the brutality she suffered at Asuka's hands this past week on SmackDown Live and gave her receipt after receipt, as she beat The Empress of Tomorrow endlessly with a steel chair.

Then for good measure, Lynch would put best friend turned arch nemesis, Charlotte Flair, through a table, with a terrifying top rope splash. As Lynch's body hit Charlotte's midsection with the power of an NFL style collision, Charlotte winced and screamed in agony, "Oh God, Oh God."

The violence would not cease. Asuka would remember her expertise in the kendo stick and utilize the weapon against both Lynch and Flair, as their bodies bent from the repeated stiff and painful blows.

Charlotte would gain her revenge; however, as she spared Asuka through a ringside barricade. The crowd, unable to contain itself, collectively gasped aloud. Charlotte, now having the clear upper hand, turned her attention to her former bestie Becky Lynch, "The Man always bows to The Queen."

Charlotte then placed her ex-best friend across the table with the precision of a master surgeon and then violently slammed her own body through Lynch and through the table.

If such a show could be stolen, only Ronda Rousey could do it. As Charlotte and Lynch fought to climb the ladder to victory, the crowd roared as Rousey made her way to the ring. The self-proclaimed Baddest Woman On The Planet would not forget the Survivor Series beating she suffered at the hands of Charlotte Flair, nor would she forget Becky Lynch attacking her backstage at the RAW before wrestling's fall classic.

With a simple tip of the ladder, Rousey would gain her revenge and change the entire WWE landscape in the process. With Lynch and Flair now incapacitated, Asuka climbed the ladder and for the first time on the main roster became a world champion.
