SummerSlam this year will see three Women's matches take place for the first time in history since the SmackDown and Raw Women's Championships will be on the line, but Charlotte Flair will also battle Trish Stratus in a match that is all about the bragging rights.

Trish Stratus was once seen as the greatest female wrestlers of all time as a seven-time Women's Champion, a record that many believed would never be broken until Charlotte Flair came along and has now been able to eclipse these achievements as a nine-time Women's Champion.

There has been a debate over the past few years surrounding these two women when it comes to who is actually better, considering each star represents a different era in sports entertainment, but this weekend the questions will finally be answered.

Trish Stratus has also confirmed that she will retire from the ring following this match this weekend, which means that almost 13 years after she originally walked away from WWE, the Hall of Famer will be hanging up her boots for good.

Trish Stratus is still considered to be one of the best female wrestlers of all time, but she hasn't stepped into the ring since Evolution last year when she was able to pick up the win over Alicia Fox and Mickie James in a tag team match that also included Lita.

Stratus looks to be in great shape and could easily be the one who comes out on top against Charlotte on Sunday night, remember Trish won her seventh Women's Championship in this very arena back in 2006 on her final night in WWE when she forced Lita to submit to the Sharpshooter, will SummerSlam hold the same fate for Charlotte?

#4 Charlotte defeats Trish Stratus

Will Charlotte finally be able to prove that she's the best?
Will Charlotte finally be able to prove that she's the best?

Charlotte Flair is a nine-time Women's Champion and is obviously going after her own father's record when it comes to title reigns, so she isn't going to let a legend like Trish Stratus stand in her way. There is a reason Charlotte calls herself The Queen and she will see this match as a way to catapult herself back in the Women's Championship picture after losing her title at WrestleMania and then going on to lose the rematch.

Flair has missed a few weeks of WWE TV over the past few months, but it could be argued that she is younger, hungrier and more determined than the women of Stratus' era ever were, which could give her the edge this weekend.

A win for Charlotte would be a victory for the current era of Women's wrestlers, which would make sense for WWE because the Women's Revolution has become a huge deal for the company.

#3 Interference from the Women's Division

Charlotte missed weeks of WWE TV and was able to make her return to face a legend at SummerSlam which is presumably because of her last name. Over the past few weeks, the two women have been on both SmackDown Live and Monday Night Raw taking up time from women who could have been used on the show instead.

There are a number of women's wrestlers who have been forgotten so that Charlotte Flair can live out her dream of wrestling Trish Stratus and it would be a fantastic storyline if some of those women came out and cost Charlotte the win.

After all, the likes of Dana Brooke, Liv Morgan, Carmella, Sarah Logan, Alicia Fox, Lacey Evans, Naomi, and Lana have all been overlooked in favor of Charlotte throughout their careers and this would be a fantastic way of exacting some revenge.

#2 Natalya interference?

Natalya has been going through a lot of changes in recent weeks, ever since it was made official that she would battle Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship this weekend. Natalya teamed with Trish Stratus this past week on Raw and there was an altercation between the two women after they lost the match because Nattie refused to break the submission hold on Becky Lynch.

Natalya has definitely been showing signs that she's turning heel over the past few days, so coming out and attacking Trish Stratus to then join with Charlotte in what would be a superior Women's Tag Team considering both women are from famous wrestling families would be impressive.

The Women's Tag Team Championships need a story like this and if Charlotte and Natalya teamed together to dethrone Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross in the future, Flair would be the first-ever Women's Grand Slam Champion.

#1 Liv Morgan return?

Charlotte has been so wrapped up in her own issues with Trish Stratus over the past few weeks that she's probably forgotten about the fact that Liv Morgan has disappeared and is undergoing a change to her image because of Charlotte.

Morgan lost a match to Charlotte back in July on SmackDown Live and stated that the next time she would be seen, she would be "more real." There have been no updates on Liv Morgan over the past few weeks since Charlotte has been busy setting up her SummerSlam match, but this would definitely be the best place for Morgan to make a statement.

Flair needs to stay out of the title picture moving forward since she's already a nine-time Women's Champion and working with someone like Liv Morgan heading into Survivor Series could be beneficial for both women.
