#2 Charlotte Flair
There was little doubt that at this time one year ago, Charlotte Flair was as bland as could be as a babyface. It was apparent that she was a natural heel, and once she officially flipped the switch at the dawn of 2016, she finally hit her stride and took over the women's division as its lead heel.
Her promo work was a bit shaky, but she has improved immensely in that department over the course of the year with her recent confrontations with Sasha Banks and Ric Flair, being prime examples. Her in-ring ability is as exceptional as it has always been, with fans often underestimating her amazing athleticism.
As of this writing, she remains unbeaten in one-on-one championship matches on pay-per-view, a streak she extended this year with wins over Banks, Becky Lynch and Natalya. Each of those outings was outstanding, and come Roadblock this Sunday, she could end the year as a four-time Raw Women's champion.
