Charlotte Flair defeated Sasha Banks in the first-ever women's Iron Man or Iron Woman match on the WWE main roster at Roadblock: End of the Line to win the Raw Women's Championship for the fourth time.

In a brilliantly constructed and emotional match-up, the pair began exchanging rest holds before upping the pace. Flair earned the first decision 19 minutes into the fight with an incredible Natural Selection off of the top rope. That looked brutal.

Moments later, Banks surprised Flair with a roll up to tie the scores. Banks took the lead with just a few minutes left of the 30-minute time limit with a Banks Statement to earn the submission.

With seconds remaining, the two wrestlers were tied after Flair gained a fall by getting Banks to submit in the Figure-Eight Leglock.

It was a heartbreaking moment for Banks who could barely stand in overtime and Flair, smelling blood wisely targeted Banks' leg and locked in the Figure-Eight Leglock once again, and after failing to reach the ropes, Banks eventually tapped out.

Flair was a four-time women's champion and extended her unbeaten winning streak on pay per view to 18-0.
