A few weeks ago on Raw, Charlotte lost the Women's Championship to former NXT rival Bayley. This marks the latest loss in a pattern that's been set up for the second-generation star - she's undefeated in championship matches on PPV, but she frequently loses the title on Raw.

Between July and November, Charlotte suffered three championship losses to Sasha Banks on TV, but always managed to reclaim the title on PPV. Even though Banks should have won the feud in the end, the pattern made for a very entertaining program, and those Banks title wins on Raw were truly memorable.

Still, this is a different story - fans didn't have the same level of investment in Bayley's title win that they did in Sasha's, and maybe it's too soon to go back to the well that is Charlotte as champ without hurting Bayley. One way WWE could avoid that mess without breaking Charlotte's streak, though, is by having the challenger win by DQ.

It's an ending that's more cutesy than satisfying, but that's never stopped WWE before. Call it a possibility, but another outcome seems more likely.
