SmackDown Women鈥檚 Champion Charlotte Flair def. Raw Women鈥檚 Champion Alexa Bliss

Charlotte Flair鈥檚 SmackDown Women鈥檚 Championship victory this past Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE brought not only a new matchup to Survivor Series, but also a battle between, arguably, 2017鈥檚 two most dominant female Superstars.

It should come as no surprise then that a big fight feel filled the air in Houston鈥檚 Toyota Center as the only two women to ever hold both the Raw and SmackDown Women鈥檚 Titles squared off in head-to-head competition.

Flair immediately used her size and strength advantages to take control. Bliss was not afraid, though, turning the tides by viciously dropping Charlotte to the floor two separate times. Little Miss Bliss鈥 attacks were continuous, giving Flair no breathing room whatsoever (that guillotine, anyone?) and having an answer for every comeback The Queen attempted to mount.

Flair was finally able to get back into the contest with a desperation powerbomb that evened the playing field. From there, the two busted out their best with Five Feet of Fury kicking out of Natural Selection and avoiding a picture-perfect moonsault. Flair escaped defeat from Bliss鈥 signature DDT by getting her foot on the bottom rope just in the nick of time.

The SmackDown Women鈥檚 Champion powered on, despite her ribs having been brutalized throughout the duration of the contest. She connected with a jaw breaking kick to Bliss鈥 face before locking in the Figure-Eight Leglock for the win to give SmackDown a 3-2 advantage on the scorecard.

Typically, deities outrank royal figures. On this night, however, The Goddess bowed down to The Queen.

One huggable home-state hero, one legit boss, one self-proclaimed Women鈥檚 Revolutionary, one powerhouse, no problem.聽Alexa Bliss聽is still Raw Women鈥檚 Champion, defying every odd imaginable to withstand a wild Fatal 5-Way that put her in the path of聽Sasha Banks,聽Emma,聽Nia Jax聽and聽Bayley, who was making her in-ring return after suffering a shoulder injury last month.

The match, unsurprisingly, turned into a game of cat-and-mice, with everyone not named Nia Jax uniting against the mighty Superstar in their attempt to take the most impactful player out of the game. At one point, Emma attempted to do so by herself 鈥 just one of many audacious undertakings she took in order to finally prove to the WWE Universe that she should be recognized as the originator of the Women鈥檚 Revolution.

But no amount of boldness could distract from the Nia Jax show; she pulverized everyone and everything in sight, most spectacularly with a double Samoan Drop to both Bliss and Banks. It took two group efforts by all four opponents to take her out 鈥 first, a simple dump out of the ring, and later, a savage combo of a double dropkick/powerbomb off the ring apron to the floor.

That second attempt, for a while at least, did the job, and what ensued was a chaotic free-for-all. Sasha and Bayley even came as close to blows as they have since their time together in NXT, breaking up each other鈥檚 respective finishers and trading pinfall attempts on a beleaguered Bliss.

The resurgence of Jax stopped the action cold, though Emma proved herself an unlikely hero by saving Banks from a pinfall after Nia dropped a leg on her sternum. Bliss quickly got involved by ejecting Emma from the ring, and an intended charge into the corner finally took Nia out of the action when she missed her target and collided with the turnbuckle. Bliss threw Bayley into Emma as she attempted to interfere and planted The Huggable One with a devastating DDT for the victory.

If you thought Alexa would be humbled by the odds she had to overcome, however, you鈥檇 be mistaken. In a post-match interview with Renee Young, Bliss claimed she stood above the stars of Hollywood as Raw鈥檚 one and only Women鈥檚 Champion and the only true 鈥淕oddess鈥 in WWE. In fairness, this is true.聽There aren鈥檛 many people who have been able to stand toe-to-toe with the 鈥淕oddess鈥 鈥 so far.

鈥淭he Wicked Witch of WWE鈥 didn鈥檛 need a broomstick to soar to the top of SmackDown鈥檚 Women鈥檚 division 鈥 just a well-placed table outside the ring.

SmackDown Women鈥檚 Champion Becky Lynch aggressively went after disrespectful Alexa Bliss in the early goings of the match, looking to end things quick by driving the small-but-fierce challenger through a table at ringside. Alexa turned things around, however, when she actually sunk her teeth into Lynch鈥檚 hand, proving once again that there鈥檚 nothing she won鈥檛 do to unseat the fan-favorite Irish Lass Kicker as Team Blue鈥檚 female standard-bearer.

That savage streak was on full display during the chaotic final moments of the match, when Bliss powerbombed Lynch through the table at ringside to ensnare the SmackDown Women鈥檚 Championship, becoming the second Superstar to hold Team Blue鈥檚 prestigious Women鈥檚 prize.

Although the conclusion of her last championship encounter with The Irish Lass Kicker 鈥 a match seen on SmackDown LIVE in Glasgow last month 鈥 was shrouded in controversy, Bliss was unquestionably the better woman at WWE TLC. Visibly shaken after the match, Lynch expressed extreme disappointment in its outcome, leaving many to question what her next move will be, or if her signature #straightfire will burn as intensely as it once did.
