While not her most technical performance, the TLC triple threat main event is significant for a number of reasons.

It's tied with the Ember Moon rematch as Asuka's highest rated match (according to the Wrestling Observer), it was Asuka's one and so far only pay-per-view main event, and in the end, it became her crowning moment as she closed the show as the new Smackdown women's champion.

The brutality between all three women was of high entertainment value. Asuka powerbombing Charlotte onto the edge of a table was well-received by the crowd, as was the Becky Lynch legdrop onto Flair over the announce table.

The use of chairs and ladders really helped sell the intensity of the match and solidified gender equity insofar as the company's full acknowledgement of the female roster's ability to take major bumps.

In the end, though she was assisted by Ronda Rousey shoving both her opponents off a ladder, Asuka nevertheless overcame the booking slump she had been in for months and won her first main roster championship.

The sense of joy on her face as she stood atop the ladder gave off a feeling of genuine happiness. Asuka achieved her greatest victory.
