7 Best women's matches in WWE history

#2 Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair - Survivor Series (November 18, 2018)

Charlotte Flair berates Ronda Rousey post-match at Survivor Series

WrestleMania came early at Survivor Series. The expectation was that Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair would clash at the biggest show of the year but when Becky Lynch, Rousey's original opponent was injured, Flair took her place instead.

What a fight this was! Flair was in need of a big performance to re-heat her after losing her feud with Lynch and recover her aura after fans began to boo her despite the fact that she was the babyface.

The pair began the bout at a frantic pace with some UFC-style dirty boxing. It was terrific and felt completely different from the traditional WWE-type contest.

The brilliance of this encounter was that no one expected Rousey to lose but the booking of the match was so excellent that fans bit for Flair's near falls on the former UFC Bantamweight Champion.

Flair displayed a much more intense attitude in this match, which seemed to tie in logically as character progression from the Lynch feud affecting her psyche. Flair was the more dominant of the two performers in this encounter but could not put the resilient Rousey away.

Incensed, Flair took a kendo stick that she broke over Rousey's back as she pounded away. Visible on Rousey's body were welts from the brutal assault. She then hit Natural Selection on a steel chair and continued the assault on the Raw Women's Champion.

Rousey won the match via DQ but Flair was all anybody was talking about following the clash.

Terrifically intense and beautifully crisp in their movements. This was a brilliant piece of work from two of the company's premier performers.
