By the end of the night, the WWE Universe saw several big name Superstars switch brands. The entire WWE landscape was shaken to its core by some of the moves. One major switch included Charlotte Flair leaving SmackDown for Becky Lynch territory on Monday Night RAW.

The move intensifies the long-time rivalry between the two women, as they will battle for brand supremacy. Lynch and Flair, two of wrestling's Four Horsewomen, have come a long way. They have been the best of friends and the most bitter of enemies. They have co-headlined WrestleMania. This has allowed WWE to build terrific storylines and matches around two of wrestling's most recognizable female stars.

Charlotte was the SmackDown Women’s Champion on last week’s RAW when she appeared on Miz TV alongside Becky Lynch. The two had a brief spat before they were interrupted by The Kabuki Warriors. The angle led to Becky and Charlotte teaming up in a losing effort.

Charlotte lost the SmackDown Women's Championship to Bayley on Friday Night SmackDown, which could spell trouble for Lynch. Flair relishes championship gold and she could soon target the RAW Women's Championship.

While we aren’t sure how long creative will be able to hold out before they book a championship angle between Lynch and Flair, one thing is certain. With the addition of both Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, the RAW Women's Division instantly became must watch television.
