8. Charlotte vs Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch – Wrestlemania 32
At Wrestlemania 32 the future of women’s wrestling got a chance to shine on the biggest stage possible and shine they did. On a card that featured the likes of Chris Jericho, AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar, and The Undertaker, the 3 women on the card absolutely stole the show by a landslide. Charlotte, Banks, and Lynch went to war in and out of the ring and somewhat saved what should be considered one of the worst Manias of all time.
The three used thrilling, and unique pinning combos, hard-hitting strikes, and an aerial attack that dazzled the crowd for the better part of 16 minutes. With the pressure on the line of proving that the women’s division not only belongs on the big shows, the 3 women brought the goods and delivered a triple threat match that was as good as any of it’s kind over the past five years.
It’s been said for awhile that women’s wrestling in the WWE is the best it’s ever been and this match WM 32 match is a microcosm of that. Since this night, the division has only gotten better. So much so that 2 women (Banks and Charlotte) even main evented a pay per view. It makes sense. When you perform at the level that these 3 athletes did in Arlington that night in front of millions of viewers, people are bound to notice. It’s matches like this that make the dream of an all female Wrestlemania main event a reality.
