After being taunted by Becky Lynch that she brought nothing to the triple threat match at WrestleMania 35, Charlotte Flair came out on tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live and proved everyone wrong. Not only did she challenge Asuka for the WWE SmackDown’s Women’s Championship, but she beat the former champion, and she’ll now bring another championship belt into the triple threat match against Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey.
Shortly after Flair got Asuka to tap out with a Figure Eight, other WWE superstars took to Twitter to congratulate and bemoan the new champion.
This one means a lot. #8. Thank you @WWEAsuka; The most talented woman I’ve ever shared the ring with. ? ?? pic.twitter.com/f8tnk8HmIo

She did less to earn that title shot than the Wrestlemania one. Asuka deserves so much better.
