10 Shortest Women's Championship Reigns In WWE History
From shining glory to staring at the lights in record time...
Charlotte Flair's historic 10th World Title reign was over before it could really begin, with most fans caught by surprise as she dropped the strap back to a newly-turned Bayley, just four days after winning it at Hell In A Cell.
The quick switch looks to be a catalyst to launch Bayley as a new top heel in the division. As bad as this has been for The Queen, it surprisingly isn't her shortest reign with a belt around her waist.
As well as heel turns, women in WWE over the years have had their reigns cut short for a multitude of reasons, from injuries and retirements, to Money In The Bank cash-ins or last-minute booking changes.
There have been many great reigns in women's wrestling history.
These, however, don't even come close, sitting at the other end of the spectrum as an unwanted footnote in anyone's career.
Just to clarify: these short spells with the straps are measured on WWE's metrics, so anything around tape delay or what others figures may be thrown out there won't be taken into account.
10. Charlotte Flair - 12 Days
Title: Smackdown Women's Championship
This was Charlotte Flair's third reign with the blue belt and her first of three just this year alone (so far!).
Her win over Asuka on SmackDown less than two weeks before WrestleMania 35 was somewhat as expected as it was unexpected.
The title switch was used to add even more substance to the already stacked triple threat main event alongside Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch.
Poor Asuka was fed to Flair to end a maiden reign that took far too long to eventuate in the first place, simply so that Flair could then be fed to Lynch 12 days later in the aforementioned main event.
Flair's short reign did lead to one of the biggest moments in women's wrestling history, so it can't be seen as a total failure, but everyone knew she was given the belt last minute to further fuel the Becky Two-Belts train all the way to the station.
It was far from her best of ten reigns and, sadly for Ric's daughter, this is far from the first time she will appear on this list.
