WWE made history when they signed one of the best female fighters Ronda Rousey this year. With that announcement, all eyes are once again on the Women's division. WWE has done a great job in making the Women's division more than Bra & Panties matches.
Over the few years, the women have created some of the best matches that will be talked about for years to come. Stars like Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Charlotte have made the division what it is today.
Years ago, no one thought the women would be having Money in the bank or Hell in the Cell matches. The Royal Rumble was something special as well. Well, let's look at some of the best matches the women have had over the last few years.
#5 Asuka vs Nikki Cross- NXT June 2017
The Women's division isn't shy about using weapons in their matches. The Money in the Bank and Hell in The Cell matches proved that. So, when the first ever Last Woman Standing match between Asuka and Nikki Cross was announced, you knew it was going to be good.
The match had great high spots and storytelling as well. But it wasn't until the ladder spot at the end that made the match even better. Both ladies going through the table after Asuka delivered an awesome suplex through the table.
Just by a few seconds, Asuka was able to get back on her feet. It made the ending just as dramatic as the whole match itself.
#4 Charlotte vs Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch- WrestleMania 32
Before this absolute gem of a match, the only other memorable Women's match at WrestleMania was Trish vs Mickie at WrestleMania 22. 'The Grandest Stage of Them All' hasn't been kind to the Women's division. On that night, these three proved why there should be matches featuring women at WrestleMania.
Everyone in the match didn't disappoint as they were all fighting to be the first ever Women's Champion after WWE retired the Diva's Championship. Everyone was expecting Sasha to come out the winner, but Charlotte did.
Even though we didn't get the winner we wanted, you can't deny how good this match was. It defined what women wrestlers should be and it did.
#3 Bayley vs Asuka- NXT Takeover Dallas
When Asuka walked out with the Women's Title that night, little did we know that she would go on to be one of the best Women's wrestlers of all time. She held the belt for 500+ days and never lost it. Additionally, she hasn't been defeated to this day.
We all figured Bayley's days in NXT were numbered, but no one thought she would go out like that. Asuka dominated the entire match up until she choked out Bayley at the end. The crowd was in it from the beginning and cheered the two on.
Asuka winning shocked the crowd. Considering what followed for Asuka, this was definitely a great start to her title run.
#2 Bayley vs Sasha Banks- NXT Takeover Respect
It was obvious that these two were going to be on this list as they were the reason the Women's Revolution got as popular as it is. 30 minutes were all they had and they didn't disappoint. This match solidified Bayley as NXT Women's Champion.
Sasha had the lead 2-1 for most of the match until the champ was able to fight back and win in the closing stages of the match. Sasha would leave for the main roster after this as Bayley continued her title run.
It's sad that these two haven't been able to recreate their magic on the main roster. Hopefully one day we get to witness a match of this caliber once again.
#1 Bayley vs Sasha Banks- NXT Takeover Brooklyn
This is the greatest match in the Women's Revolution history and it will not be beaten anytime soon. As good as their ironman match was, they couldn't beat the first. Without a doubt, the best Women's match that year and the match of the year.
The memorable spot of the match, the reversed Frankensteiner, will be one of those moments remembered for a long time. The end of the match featured Bayley doing a top rope Bayley to belly to win the match. The reaction she got showed that the two put on a classic.
Women's Wrestling was forever changed by these two on this night.
