It was perhaps the most anticipated women's match in WWE history. Flair, the five-time champion defending against Asuka, who had not tasted defeat in 914 days, set up a battle for the ages.

There was a tremendous sense of urgency in the early going with counter after counter as the two women seemed to be evenly matched.

Asuka began working over Flair's arm with the intention being to soften it up for the Asuka Lock deeper into the match.

In a terrific spot, Flair hit a moonsault but Asuka countered into a triangle.

The action began to intensify as Asuka hit an apron suplex to the floor. That looked painful. Asuka continued to work over Flair's arm as the champion struggled to soften up Asuka.

Flair brilliantly sold the arm and forced herself to inflict a one-armed Figure Eight and Asuka shockingly tapped out for the clean submission win.

An incredible match with a surprise finish. The only black mark is the depressing decline of Asuka following this match.

Her performance displayed exactly what she is capable of and Flair secured her legacy as probably the greatest female performer of her generation.
