10 Best Matches From The First Five Years Of WWE’s Women’s Evolution
9. Bayley & Sasha Banks Vs Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair (Raw, September 9th 2019)
A bizarre inability to find the right place or time for all four of the fabled NXT/WWE Horsewomen to share the stage themselves was at long last addressed when Champions and Challengers met across brand divides on one of WWE's grandest stages.
It wasn't the WrestleMania four-way they should have had much earlier into their main roster runs, but Bayley, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair lit up Madison Square Garden with a tag team match that did more for the women's divisions across both brands than just about anything since WrestleMania 35's historic main event.
Organically brought together as respective Champions and Challengers for the upcoming Night Of Champions pay-per-view, the match was a gift to those that had yearned for a greatest hits clash between the quartet.
Flair and Lynch as tentative partners offered sublime patter throughout, as did the revived relationship between recent returnee Sasha Banks and recently-turned Bayley before she'd completely reinvented her look and aesthetic to go with the switch. Fought at a breakneck pace desperately lacking from most Monday night matches, the finish was fiercely loyal to their past and near-futures.
Pinning Bayley clean with the Natural Selection as she'd done many times before, Charlotte left a marker on the SmackDown Women's Champion while the red hot Banks avoided defeat when she needed it least. Brighter days were ahead for the heels, but this match was a glorious exhibition of how all four quietly then confidently changed the game.
