#4. Trish Stratus' farewell match

The match between Charlotte Flair and Trish Stratus was better than I expected and may have even been one of the best matches of the evening. However, what I did expect was the outcome which saw Charlotte defeat Trish.

This was important because it was revealed to definitely be Trish Stratus' final match and the legendary women's wrestler has finally retired, and has gone out on her back doing so, putting over Charlotte as the top star in the women's division.

Obviously in retirements in WWE are significantly different to retirements in any other job so never say never to Stratus returning in the future (I'm looking at you Shawn Michaels and Undertaker)

But the other major takeaway from Stratus's loss is that Charlotte is indeed the 'Queen of all Eras' and has picked up a big win to propel her back into the title picture on SmackDown Live with a match against Bayley all-but guaranteed for Clash of Champions.
