Charlotte Flair is the undisputed queen of the WWE. In the three years since she made her debut on the main roster, Charlotte has helped re-define women's wrestling in the WWE, showing that it's not just men who are capable of having match of the year candidates on a regular basis.

Outside of the ring, she has also become one of the most popular superstars in the whole industry, and a quick look at her Instagram or Twitter feed will show you just how she adored she is by girls all over the world.

This Sunday at WWE SummerSlam, Charlotte Flair, along with Becky Lynch, will challenge Carmella in a triple threat match for the SmackDown women's champion. To get fans warmed up for that match, let's take a look back at Charlotte's five best matches in the WWE so far.

#5 Charlotte vs Alexa Bliss, Survivor Series 2017

The theme of Survivor Series 2017 was Raw vs SmackDown, and champions from both brands squared off at the event.

That meant that, for the first time in history, SmackDown's women's champion would go one on one with Raw's. Just days before the event, Charlotte defeated Natalya to win the women's title and set up a clash with Alexa Bliss.

There's an argument to be made that Bliss and Flair are the standard bearers of the women's division in the WWE right now, and they were both on fine form when they met last November. Bliss was the perfect antagonist for Flair, and her character work throughout the match, as always, was second to none.

Flair also helped take Alexa to one of the best matches of her career, and she would come out on top when she forced Bliss to tap out to the figure-8 leg lock. This was an excellent exhibition of everything that is great about women's wrestling in the WWE right now and is definitely one worth revisiting.

#4 Charlotte vs Bayley, Raw, February 13th 2017

While the WWE would go on to well and truly screw it up, Bayley's original rise to the top of the WWE women's division was one of the best stories of the women's revolution.

After having to watch her fellow four horsewomen get called up before her, Bayley arrived on the main roster with a purpose, and that all culminated when she defeated Charlotte Flair for the Raw women's championship.

This match may have taken place on Raw, but the company did an excellent job of creating a big fight feel for the encounter, and the match also got the chance to close the show.

The two women were given nearly 20 minutes to make the most of their match, and they used every second wisely. The match was full of excellent exchanges and some thrilling near falls, and the finish, which saw Sasha Banks help Bayley finally capture the gold, was well executed.

Unfortunately, the WWE would never properly follow up on any potential storylines from the end of the bout, but that doesn't take away from what an excellent encounter this was.

#3 Charlotte vs Asuka- WrestleMania 34

While some fans might still disagree with the decision to have Asuka tap out to Charlotte at this year's WrestleMania, there is no denying the quality of the match-up that the two women put on.

The build to this was perfect, with Asuka and Flair squaring down at Fastlane one month before the event, and then a few weeks later on SmackDown.

The atmosphere was electric when the two women locked up, and this was arguably the most anticipated female match in the history of WrestleMania.

Flair and Asuka didn't disappoint either, putting on the most technically sound bout of the whole night and providing fans with a WrestleMania moment that they won't be forgetting in a hurry.

Charlotte's bout with Sasha Banks at Hell in a Cell 2016, while not being the best encounter between the performers, is one of the most historic women's matches in the history of the WWE.

Flair and Banks had been trading the title back and forth for several months in the final quarter of 2016, and this match was billed as the grand finale of their feud. The company deemed the match to be so important, that they decided to book it as the main event of the show, making it the first ever PPV main-event to star two female performers.

Flair and Sasha were so familiar with each other in the ring by this point that they managed to deliver a great encounter, one more than fitting of such a historic occasion.

While there were a few sequences that didn't work out in quite the way they wanted, the two women still managed to deliver an exciting and brutal encounter, the likes of which women's wrestling had never seen before.

Women's wrestling doesn't exactly have a great history at WrestleMania. Outside of a well-built feud between Mickie James and Trish Stratus in the mid-2000's, women's wrestling has often been subjected to nonsense involving Snoop Dogg and lingerie on the grandest stage of them all, so what an incredible statement Charlotte, Sasha and Becky Lynch made when they not only had a great match but easily the best one on the card at WrestleMania 32.

This was the women's revolution's time to shine, and these three women did not let the team down.

All three women brought their A-game here for what is easily the greatest women's match in Mania history, and the crowd were hot for the match from the opening bell to the last.

Charlotte's moonsault to the outside was one of many stand-out moments during the match, as all three women redefined what women's wrestling meant to a wider audience, and set a new standard for the women's division going forward.

The ending of the match saw Charlotte retain thanks to some help from her father in what was quite a surprising result. Many fans expected one of the faces to lift the belt on the grandest stage of them all, but it wasn't to be.
