With the brand new Women’s Championship on the line, find out what happened when Charlotte faced Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 32.
No match at WrestleMania 32 has greater storyline history than the Triple Threat match between Charlotte, Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch. It goes all the way back a couple of years when former BFFs Charlotte and Sasha were feuding over the NXT Women’s Championship. Sasha and Becky became friends during the former’s march to the gold, and ultimately they split and became rivals, too.
With all three women called up to the main WWE roster, the allegiances were reshuffled but the goal of being champion remains the same. Now that a new Women’s Championship has been revealed, the winner will be the face of a new era for the entire division.

Banks got back in the ring, hit Lynch with the Banks Statement, only to have Charlotte toss her out of the ring and slap on the Figure 8. While Ric Flair kept Banks from getting back in the ring, Charlotte forced Lynch to tap out.

Trav’s Thoughts: Incredible match, possibly match of the night. These women delivered a show WORTHY of the Women’s championship, and finally delivered on the promise of the Divas Revolution, ironically by putting it away for good.

There are a lot of great matches between these ladies coming up, but it will likely be Charlotte vs. only one opponent next time. Will it be Becky Lynch or Sasha Banks?
