#5 Charlotte (c) vs. Asuka (SmackDown Live Women's Championship match)

Charlotte ended Asuka's unbeaten streak

Charlotte came out first and had an impressive, Triple H-style entrance. Considering this was one of the most-anticipated matches on the show, the placement of the bout was rather odd. After a chain wrestling exchange, Charlotte hit an incredible drop-toe hold and went for the Figure Four but Asuka reversed into a small package.

The Japanese Superstar then positioned Charlotte on the apron and hit her with a hip attack, sending the Queen crashing to the floor. Asuka then went to work on the champion's right arm, even managing to secure a backpack at one point. Charlotte managed to break free and sent her foe's head crashing to the mat with a knee.

The Queen then attempted to hit her signature moonsault, but Asuka managed to trap her in a triangle choke. Charlotte countered into a Boston Crab before stacking up the undefeated Superstar for a near fall. As the Queen started to cut a frustrated figure, Asuka began to connect with a series of stiff kicks.

The 2018 Women's Royal Rumble winner then hit a suplex off the apron, paying homage to her strong-style roots. Asuka then connected with a missile dropkick and looked to continue working on Charlotte's right arm. However, the Queen managed to connect with a Spanish Fly from the top rope.

Charlotte looked to hit Natural Selection but Asuka rolled through into a modified armbar, putting an enormous amount of pressure on the champion's right shoulder. Just as it looked like Asuka was getting ready to put her foe away, Charlotte managed to connect with a spear for a nearfall.

The Queen then locked in the Figure Eight, forcing Asuka to submit and ending the vaunted undefeated streak.
