Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch at the Royal Rumble was solid, even Charlotte's match against Brie Bella at Fastlane was entertaining, but nothing can top what happened at WrestleMania 32. On the Kickoff show, women's wrestling legend Lita unveiled a new WWE Women's Title belt, officially retiring the WWE Divas Title in the process.

This was a poignant moment, but Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks had to produce in their Triple Threat encounter on the main show. The pressure was on, because had the match flopped it would have reflected badly on the women's wrestling flame reignited by WWE's top brass.

Thankfully, the trio were on top form. In what must be considered one of the brightest moments for the fairer sex in WWE history, Charlotte, Becky and Sasha put together one of the most exciting matches on the entire broadcast.

The term 'Diva' had been a bone of contention for a lot of people for the previous few years, so it was crucial that this re-energised Women's Title hunt delivered. It did, and in a big way. In the months since, WWE have struggled to match/top 'Mania.
