Best WWE matches of 2016
6. Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch - WrestleMania 32
After years of the women’s match at WrestleMania usually being the most overlooked thing on the card - if there even was one - WWE finally gave their female performers the time to shine with this history-making triple threat.
Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks initially thought they were challenging for Charlotte Flair’s Divas Championship but, as revealed beforehand, this match would actually be for the newly minted Women’s Championship, a significant upgrade from the butterfly-shaped monstrosity.
Three of the four horsewomen brought their A-game and brought the revolution that had been stewing in NXT for years to mainstream eyes. They traded strikes, suplexes, and submissions in perfect harmony as the Dallas crowd ate it all up and then asked for seconds.
Sure, it may have been nicer if Sasha had won instead of Charlotte or if Ric Flair hadn’t been involved in the finish - at least he didn’t kiss anyone this time - but this was still a signal that things were changing in WWE and changing for the better.
Also, this was a great match at a WrestleMania where those were in seriously short supply.
