Without a doubt, Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch and Asuka put on the match of the night at this year’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. Belair defended her Raw Women’s Championship in the match versus two former champions Lynch and Asuka.
To begin, Belair and Asuka fought as Lynch was outside the ring, as both women tossed Big Time Becks out of the ring. Everyone had a chance to shine and display their prowess in the squared circle throughout the match.
For example, Asuka landed a fury of strikes and a German suplex on Lynch that was absolutely flawless. Here, the hits looked devastating as Lynch sold the moves that made you feel it as well. In addition, Asuka put both superstars in an ankle lock simultaneously.

Another takeaway is that this triple-threat match was great from the opening bell until the final bell. What’s more, the WWE fans in the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, were in it. Watching this match only enhanced my love for all of the superstars here.
Ultimately, Belair threw Lynch through the ropes and outside the right after Lynch hit Asuka with her finisher, the Manhandle Slam.
GOTS to be smarter than that!

Thoughts on Belair Retaining the Title

All things considered, it didn’t come as a major shock, but I was still amazed at the performance of all competitors here. As a matter of fact, you could’ve had it inside the Hell in a Cell structure. It was that good and worth watching online if you didn’t see it live.
Equally important, the intertwining stories being told in the match were astounding. Time will tell to see who’ll be next in line to challenge Belair for her title. Maybe a certain Role Model, perhaps?
