IYO SKY gets some key help from Bayley and retains her WWE Women's Championship against Asuka on [...]
One of the most anticipated matches of tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown was for the WWE Women's Championship, occurring between IYO SKY and Asuka. Many have wanted to see a throwdown between the two superstars, though they were also joined by Charlotte Flair, who sat at ringside. This was the first time the two had faced each other in the ring one-on-one, but you wouldn't know it as the two countered each other's moves with ease.
SKY went up top but Asuka caught her and knocked her onto the turnbuckle. SKY slapped Asuka but Asuka came back with multiple kicks to the head. Asuka went up top to join SKY and then hit a Superplex on SKY. Asuka went for the cover but SKY got her shoulder up in time. The two stars were on their feet and ran into each other after bouncing off the ropes, and SKY knocked Asuka down and went for the cover, but Asuka kicked out.
Asuka went for another armbar and then stomped on SKY's arm. Asuka went up top but SKY joined her and then hit a dropkick that sent Asuka crashing to the floor. SKY went for a huge move through the ropes but Asuka blocked, though she couldn't block all of it. Then Asuka missed SKY and kicked the post directly. SKY rolled back in the ring and went back up top, hitting a huge move off the top turnbuckle that sent her crashing into Asuka on the floor.
