WWE stars Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Bayley, and Sasha Banks were collectively known as the Four Horsewomen of NXT. They are seen as foundational building blocks from the third brand. Due to their popularity, the stars were called up to combat Nikki Bella and the "Divas" of the previous generation.

Back then, matches were short for the most part, and there was a heavy emphasis on looks during that era. However, several divas were excellent in-ring performers, like AJ Lee, Natalya, Beth Phoenix, and Melina.

The arrival of the Horsewomen of NXT signified a massive shift in women's wrestling in WWE's main roster. In-ring ability was at the forefront, which has endured past the Women's Evolution.

In their time on the main roster, the Horsewomen have won numerous titles. Over the last two years, all four have held either the RAW or SmackDown Women's titles.

There are, however, some things that each Horsewoman has yet to accomplish in the company.


#5. Things the Horsewomen of NXT haven't done in WWE - Becky Lynch hasn't won the Women's Tag Team titles.

WWE introduced the women's tag team titles in 2018. Bayley and Sasha Banks were the inaugural Champions, having won the belts at that year's Elimination Chamber event.

The duo won the belts again during their heel run. Charlotte Flair won the titles in late 2020 alongside Asuka. It was primarily a vehicle for The Queen to eventually challenge The Empress of Tomorrow for the RAW Women's title at WM 37. Unfortunately, the Queen missed the event.

Lynch, on the other hand, hasn't held the Women's Tag Team Championships since their introduction. During that time, she was pursuing singles gold en route to becoming one of the biggest stars in the industry.

While Lynch had already won the SmackDown Women's title, she cemented herself as a bonafide star on the road to winning the RAW Women's title in 2019. Since then, she has always been a singles Champion or in programs around the Championships.

Because of that, she has never pursued the tag team belts. Banks and Bayley held singles gold while Tag Team Champions. Asuka also did the same with Flair. Will Lynch eventually target the only titles she hasn't held in her WWE career?

#4. Bayley hasn't won a Royal Rumble in her WWE career

WWE started having Royal Rumble matches for women in 2018. There have been five winners - Asuka, Lynch, Flair, Belair, and Ronda Rousey. Asuka and Belair were the only two women to win Rumbles without winning singles titles on the main roster.

In 2018, Bayley entered the match at #29 but only lasted 5 minutes 8 seconds. Banks eliminated her. In 2019, she entered at #27 and lasted for 14 minutes. She defended the SmackDown Women's title against Lacey Evans at the event in 2020.

Last year's match saw the former multi-time champion enter first and last for over 29 minutes. While her time in the match has increased with each appearance, Bayley is yet to call herself a Royal Rumble winner.

Before this year's premium live event, some rumors emerged stating that she might be a surprise entrant in the Rumble match. But WWE relied upon many former female stars instead of returning Bayley. Will a Royal Rumble win be in her future?

#3. Charlotte Flair hasn't won Money in the Bank in WWE

Charlotte Flair's WWE career has been indelibly linked to the MITB briefcase. She competed in the first two matches but didn't win. However, The Queen has fallen victim to the briefcase on three occasions. First, she was cashed in on by the briefcase's inaugural winner, Carmella, in 2018.

During the 2019 MITB event, Flair competed for and won the SmackDown Women's title from Becky Lynch. Bayley won that year's ladder match and cashed in immediately following the match.

The Queen didn't compete at the 2020 event held at WWE HQ. She did, however, win the RAW Women's title from Rhea Ripley at the 2021 MITB event.

Rather than having a cash-in on the same night, 2021 winner Nikki A.S.H. cashed in on Flair a day later. It protects the Champions as they are usually left vulnerable before cash-ins.

Flair is usually a Champion during the MITB season, so she hasn't been in the match since its inception. She is pushed as the top female Superstar of all time, so she must win a briefcase in the future.

#2. Sasha Banks' WWE run doesn't include a Royal Rumble win yet

Like Bayley, Sasha Banks has done a lot in WWE. She's won the RAW, SmackDown, and Women's Tag Team titles. She hasn't, however, won the Money in the Bank briefcase.

Another accomplishment missing from her resume is a Royal Rumble win. Due to changes in plans and other stars emerging, she hasn't been able to call her shot for the Show of Shows. However, her opponent at WrestleMania 37, Bianca Belair, did so against Banks.

Her best showing in a Royal Rumble was at the inaugural event. She entered first and made the final four after a 54 minutes 46 seconds run. At the 2019 Rumble, she challenged Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women's title.

Banks didn't compete at the 2020 Rumble, but in 2021, she defended the SmackDown Women's belt against Carmella. This year, The Boss returned to SmackDown the night before the Rumble.

She entered the match first again but had a shorter run of just under ten minutes. Will Banks one day add a Royal Rumble win to her resume?

#1. Becky Lynch hasn't won Money in the Bank in her WWE career

WWE started offering Money in the Bank Ladder matches to its female competitors in 2017. Carmella was the first victor but not the last. Since its inception, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Nikki A.S.H., and Asuka have all won the match.

Lynch competed in two MITB ladder matches (2017, 2018) but was unsuccessful in each contest. She held both RAW and SmackDown titles at the 2019 event but lost the latter to Flair.

Due to her dominance of singles divisions over the last few years, Lynch hasn't been placed in a MITB match. The same is true of Flair and Roman Reigns. It's hard for them to win a briefcase if they are already the Champion.

If Lynch loses the RAW Women's title at WrestleMania 38, she could participate in the 2022 Money in the Bank match. It would be a considerable change and instantly make her the favorite to win.
