Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte at Evolution Rated WWE's Top Match of 2018

Mike ChiariDec 30, 2018

WWE.com released its list of the top 25 matches of 2018, and the Last Woman Standing bout between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair at Evolution took the No. 1 spot.

The SmackDown Women's Championship match pitting the former friends against each other on October 28 was significant for several reasons: It was the first Last Woman Standing match to occur on the main roster, and it happened on the first all-women's pay-per-view in WWE history.

The Irish Lass Kicker won the match, which helped further propel her toward the top of WWE in terms of popularity.

The WWE list took into account all matches that occurred under the company's umbrella in 2018, including the main roster, NXT, NXT UK, 205 Live and the Mae Young Classic.

Lynch and Flair beat out the Chicago Street Fight between Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano at NXT TakeOver: Chicago, which finished second on the list.

That match was the second of three TakeOver bouts between the two men in 2018, and it oozed with emotion.

Gargano took the fight to Ciampa and even handcuffed his former friend, but Ciampa prevailed by hitting his opponent with a DDT on the exposed wooden boards under the ring canvas.

Curiously, neither of the other matches between Ciampa and Gargano made the list despite widely being considered to be among the best matches in all of wrestling in 2018.

Other notable matches that made the list include Brock Lesnar vs. Daniel Bryan at Survivor Series (No. 3), Moustache Mountain vs. Undisputed Era on the July 11 edition of NXT (No. 4) and Seth Rollins vs. The Miz at Backlash (No. 5).

Also on the list was Ronda Rousey's in-ring debut at WrestleMania alongside Kurt Angle against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon (No. 9) as well as the critically acclaimed bout between Meiko Satomura and Mercedes Martinez in the Mae Young Classic (No. 16).
