After people just kept talking Charlotte and Sasha,it is good that another talent got to spotlight and prove everyone she at least as good as these two.
Go Lynch!

lots of pressure on both women beforehand, but boy did they deliver! ***** This is what concerned me before the match happened. H's himself was so hyped for it and building it up in interviews and at the conference call. People heard a lot about the two going into the match, whether they have seen past work in or out of NXT or not. They had a lot of weight and expectation on their shoulders. They not only surpassed our expectations but HHHs, a peer to them. Surpassed doesn't even cover it, they blew it out of the water and knocked it out of the park from the first millisecond in. A beautiful match, both girls looked absolutely stunning, the attire/entrances all worked perfectly, the pre match music/in ring introductions, both were exuberant with character and emotion, the wrestling itself was flawless etc etc Standing ovations are truly a wonderful thing and that was stunning to look at. So well deserved. I don't know how else to describe it but beautiful, in every way.

I legitimately believe that if you look at just the past 6 months of ring work that Sasha Banks is the best wrestler in the company, male or female. Sasha, Cena, Rollins, Zayn & Cesaro top 5

These girls wrestle better than most of the men on the roster. Great match. Becky seemed to get a little tired at the end with the awkward nip up and the "catch" outside the ring. Other than me nitpicking those two spots, the match was near perfect. Both women should be very proud. I'm starting to feel like a broken record, but I really love Sasha Banks. She's incredible. Legit boss.

I was on board the moment Becky lifted Banks into a suplex to counter a submission hold. Then things got even better from there.

I'll echo the people who said the were tearing up for some reason at the end of the match. I was right there with you. These ladies are arguably the best wrestlers in the entire company, and its unbelievable to think that after how WWE has treated "divas" for so long and what we had all sadly grown accustomed to.

If that's not a 5-star match, I guess I've never seen one. As others have noted, forget gender and just appreciate the masterpiece these two painted together.
Not only great movesets and flow ... but the story it told. A thing of beauty.
I've been saying that Sasha was the best thing on NXT. She proved it, and in the process she made Becky the way Flair made Sting at Clash of Champions.
This one match sums up everything I love about wrestling.
Cheers, ladies, and bravo!!!

This match was the only one I really was looking forward to seeing. Pretty much knew how every other match was going to go down but this one kept me guessing. Sasha started wrestling circles around Becky but she found her fire and she brought it to Sasha. It was a wonderful performance by both ladies and they deserve all the praise they get. Think it was even better than Sasha vs Charlotte at R Evolution.

Sasha was always looked at as being below Charlotte in comments from other wrestlers and the head brass, I even remember Austin saying something about Charlotte being better and Sasha missing something a while back. Well, Sasha's just proved everyone wrong after she's stepped it up these past 6 months. Check out her matches when she first debuted in NXT and continue until today. She's one of the best wrestlers in the company and hell, one of the best characters in the company. As a whole, she's the full package. Amazing look, great character, amazing in the ring, she carries herself as a star and she's as humble as they come. She's the future and honestly, I mean this, Sasha could one of the greatest women's wrestlers in history when it's all said and done if everything works out well.
Nothing against Becky however, Becky's just getting started and she did amazing. I look forward to her future as well. Sasha though, damn. I haven't been impressed with a Diva this much since possibly Lita.

Absolutely incredble. Best match of the night, I don't usually care for star ratings but that was at least three stars better than everything else on the card. MOTY candidate even. I loved how genuine it felt, and Becky was made a star from this match more than any other she's been in so far.

I haven't been impressed with a Diva this much since possibly Lita. Couldn't agree more. Becky was amazing tonight, both women looked strong, looked incredible and deserve props. Sasha has come into her own and deserves to be the face of the division. What's scary is how much untapped potential still remains in both ladies.

Not many matches get to that point where I literally have no idea where it's going to go next. I don't even understand how they put that together, it was so spectacular.

Quite honestly, the entirety of the main roster... talent, agents, creative, everyone.. needs to be put into a room. Made to watch that match. Then Triple H stands up, says "There's your competition." then walks out of the room.

One thing many people don't know was that Becky Lynch/Rebecca Knox was one of the cornerstones of Shimmer Wrestling when it started. She was having some of the best female indy matches in 2005 and early 2006 and was even going to wrestle Daizee Haze in an Ironwoman match at a Shimmer taping, but got a massive concussion and spinal injury that basically knocked her out of wrestling for years. She didn't wrestle from September 2006 until she signed with WWE in 2013. But she was one of the best before her injury.

I don't know what more you could want from a match. It told a story, it built a star, it was hard-hitting AND technically briliant. It wasn't a great women's wrestling match... it was a great wrestling match, no qualifiers.

They both deserve this so much. I'm happy for them and I hope they go on to huge things. I would totally be smelling their hair right then.

What a triumphant night it must have been, really capping off what has been a great few months for her. How did she get signed by WWE after being out of action for 7 years? Oh, thank you Sara (claps)
