They don't call her 'The Queen' without good reason. Royalty tends to get its way, and fans are still confused as to why a generation-defining singles match between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch needed to include Charlotte Flair, especially if she wasn't taking the pin. Saying that, nobody ended up taking the pin in this history-making main event...

Charlotte Flair somehow ended up in the winner takes all triple threat match for the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships, losing her blue belt to the eventual winner and megastar-in-waiting, Becky Lynch. In fighting for a world championship at 'Mania, Charlotte Flair became the first superstar to compete in consecutive world title matches in her first four WrestleManias.

As we all know, this streak would continue to five a year later when she inexplicably beat Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women's Championship. At the time of writing, Charlotte was nowhere to be seen on the WrestleMania 37 card, although don't bet against her showing up and somehow competing for a world title on either of the two nights.

Charlotte's streak of five consecutive world title matches at WrestleMania is a record for the women, although it puts her two behind John Cena for the overallrecord.
