10 Best Wrestling Matches Of The Week (July 26)
3. Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks vs. Brie Bella (Battleground)
Was it ever confirmed that this unannounced match from Battleground happened as a result of the Intercontinental Championship match being cut? I hope Ryback comes back quickly and at full health but I am not complaining at all about this triple threat Divas match that happened instead.
All three of these Divas teams were allowed to have one wrestler represent their crew in the match and there was a brief tease that Nikki would be wrestling (and possibly defending her belt). That didn't happen as her twin sister stepped up for Team Bella instead.
Brie got several chances to shine but it seemed like she was the one to get cycled out more often than not. This worked out great for Sasha and Charlotte, who already wrestle very entertaining matches together. The chemistry was still there for them on this night. Charlotte made Brie tap out when she put her in the Figure 8.
The fact that this bout went about a dozen minutes is a good sign for the Diva's division. Several matches have followed since then that also have been given good times. Since they've been delivering, let's hope that WWE doesn't balk on their current faith in the ladies.
