#4 Alexa Bliss vs Becky Lynch (Women’s Championship):

A solid match and a smart finish to prolong the feud

Result: Becky Lynch wins by countout, but Alexa Bliss retains her championship.

Grade: 8/10

This was a solid rematch from TLC, and it continued the slow build of the Bliss/Lynch story with a smart finish.

Bliss’ heel promo and attack on Purrazzo (her initial opponent) was brilliant, and Bliss is prospering as top women’s heel on SD Live with her splendid heel work. Lynch is great as well, as the hungry, determined babyface challenger, and this spontaneous title match helped excite the live crowd.

While the bout was short, it was solid for what it was and the finish was very well-done. Bliss feigning an injury to escape a title defence was excellent, and only further spurs Lynch’s chase to redemption.

If Bliss continues to be the sneaky, vicious heel while Lynch is the revenge-seeking, gritty babyface, then this story will only get better as time goes on. Overall, a solid match, and a brilliant way to continue the slow build of Lynch chasing the championship.
