7: Sasha Banks vs Charlotte – Falls Count Anywhere (Raw in Charlotte)
Sasha and Charlotte deservedly make the list again at #7 for their Falls Count Anywhere match for the Women’s Championship on the main event of Raw in Charlotte, NC as hometown champion Charlotte defended her championship against Sasha Banks.
The two women have gotten used to creating history this year, as they became the first women to enter a Cell and main event a WWE main roster PPV along with being the first to women to main-event an episode of Raw since Trish Stratus and Lita, before main eventing Raw once again in Charlotte, NC.
The match was originally slated for earlier in the show but ended on a double countout that led Raw GM Mick Foley to schedule a Falls Count Anywhere rematch later on in the night.
Charlotte and Sasha have never been afraid to be stiff, sometimes maybe a little too stiff for our liking because of Sasha’s history of injuries.
Their match in Charlotte’s hometown was no exception as the two threw down the gauntlet and threw everything they had at each other from the word go. Sasha threw caution to the wind early on as she used her speed advantage to take the fight to Charlotte hitting a suicide dive.
Charlotte fought back with of the stiffest knife edged chops we’ve seen from her before booting Sasha off the apron and onto the floor. She followed it up with a brutal Natural Selection onto the floor as the two women upped the ante.
Sasha then whipped Charlotte with a kendo stick before Charlotte hit a Moonsault off the announced table on the ramp. Sasha kicked out and finally locking in a Banks Statement on a guard railing amongst the crowd when Charlotte finally tapped out.
As an added caveat, Ric Flair made his way out after Sasha won, to congratulate her.
As bad as the Divas Revolution of 2015 was, 2016 was the best year in the history of women’s wrestling – a large part of that being Sasha Banks and Charlotte.
