Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte Flair (WrestleMania 32)

Although it’s long been debated as to what or who started the turning point in WWE’s women’s division, the triple threat match between Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 32 is undoubtedly a key factor.

As with most triple threat bouts, this contest was fast-paced and intense.

Banks, Flair, and Lynch did a masterful job of combining the sort of high-speed action you’ve come to expect in a triple threat contest with just the right amount of storytelling, suspense, and ring psychology in order to create a match for the ages.

While Flair entered the ring with the WWE Divas Title, she’d walk out of the AT&T Stadium as the inaugural WWE Women’s Champion that night.

But after the performance that these three put on, labeling Banks and Lynch as losers certainly wouldn’t be accurate.
