WWE Roadblock 2016: Ranking Every Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte Match

6. RAW Women’s Title Match – WWE SummerSlam 2016
Once again these two squared off and it didn’t seem to have that type of intensity as most of their matches. However, I don’t blame it completely on Banks and Flair. The crowd was almost non-existent for this match. First of all, it was very early in the card before the crowd got really amped up. Plus there was a ton of anticipation of what was to follow. With matches like AJ Styles versus John Cena, Dean Ambrose versus Dolph Ziggler, Seth Rollins versus Finn Balor, and Brock Lesnar versus Randy Orton still ahead of them, it was easy for this match to get drowned out.
But that doesn’t mean that the girls didn’t bring it this night. Quite the contrary. Charlotte was absolutely surgical, channeling her father’s focus and dismantling her opponents back while The Boss was her normal tenacious self. And although it was a bit of an anti-climactic ending with Charlotte reversing a Bank Statement into a pinning combo for the win and her 3 WWE World title reign, it was a very worthy Women’s title bout.
The challenge with any Banks/Charlotte match is that these two have set the bar so high for themselves because of their history that anything less than spectacular is seen as disappointing. This match was far from disappointing, but they clearly have had better installments.
