1. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair
From NXT to the main roster, Becky Lynch was always in Charlotte Flair's shadow. Although Lynch became the inaugural SmackDown Women's WWE Champion, the company never used Lynch to her full potential. She soon dropped the title, while her best friend Charlotte made history by being the first woman to headline a pay-per-view.
After dropping her title, Lynch did not get many opportunities at the championship. However, before SummerSlam 2018, Lynch defeated then SmackDown Women's Champion Carmella and earned a one-on-one shot at the title at SummerSlam. SmackDown General Manager Paige inserted Charlotte into the match - which began irritating Lynch, who was denied a one-on-one opportunity at the SmackDown Women's Championship.
At SummerSlam, Charlotte pinned Lynch to capture the title. Lynch had enough and turned on her best friend, starting a movement that would eventually elevate her to headline WrestleMania 35 a few months later.
Reminiscent of the Yes Movement a half decade earlier, the WWE Universe began backing Lynch. Even though WWE tried to turn her against the audience, the fans did not care. They chanted for Becky whenever 'The Irish Lass Kicker' was in the ring.
Eventually, Lynch and Charlotte had an outstanding match at Evolution - outshining the main event between Ronda Rousey and Nikki Bella. Lynch, Flair, and Asuka went on to headline TLC 2018 in a Triple Threat Match.
Both Superstars would go on to feud until WrestleMania 35, where Becky Lynch defeated both Ronda Rousey and Charlotte in the main event to capture the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships. Flair and Lynch would end their feud at Money in the Bank 2019, after Flair defeated 'The Man.'
We know women's wrestling has evolved quite a bit in the last 20 years, but many wrestling fans never thought WWE would put the women in the main event of WrestleMania. This rivalry between former best friends played a historic role in elevating women's wrestling to such heights.
