10 Times WWE's Sasha Banks Was The Best Wrestler In The World

10. Her Feud With Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks are opponents with natural chemistry. That is evident from the first seconds they lock up with each other; the two are connected in the ring in an indescribable way. Their duelling characters, mesmerising technical wrestling and natural storytelling instincts just connect perfectly.

While they've squared off against each other several times over the years, the peak of their time as rivals and the pairing that established Sasha as a star on the main roster, was in their epic feud of 2016 where they cemented the Raw Women's Championship as the most important women's belt in WWE history. The two destroyed each other in classic matches, re-defining the Hell in a Cell stipulation, working an underrated SummerSlam belter, having the best Raw matches of 2016 with emotional title switches and investing fans in every single encounter.

Even years later, there's not a better finish on Raw than Sasha tapping out Charlotte for the title while her back was sickeningly bent over metallic railing. It proved that Sasha was a babyface star, worthy of main eventing PPVs and leading the women's division forward, even if they didn't pull the trigger all the way.
