2. RAW Women’s Title Match: WWE RAW, July 25, 2016

Charlotte had been flying high after being promoted to the main roster in July 2015.  Within 2 months of the promotion she captured the WWE Divas title from Nikki Bella at Night Of Champions and held onto to it for close to 200 days before the WWE rightfully re-branded the belt the “Women’s Championship” which she also won in a show-stealing Wrestlemania 32 triple threat match with Banks and Becky Lynch.  All in all The Queen’s title reign was at 309 days, the longest in recent WWE history.

But then along came Sasha Banks….again.  Selected by RAW with the #13 overall pick, The Boss was the just second female drafted to the red brand behind Charlotte who went 3rd overall and the two wasted no time battling over the title as this bout took place on the first post-draft RAW.  Unlike some of their other matches, the crowd at CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh was electric, seemingly understanding the desire of Banks and standing firmly behind her.

The action spilled all over the ringside area and Charlotte even threw in one of her beautiful moonsaults to the outside.  It was everything that one would’ve expected between these two given their history as the two warriors matched each other at every avenue.  It was a perfect way to being the Women’s division on RAW and established Banks as a big game player by winning and realizing a 14-year long dream.
