10 Things WWE Got Right At The 2016 Royal Rumble

3. The Sasha Banks Angle

It was scary how over The Boss was in her brief appearance at the conclusion of the Charlotte/Lynch match. When her music hit the arena exploded, and she strolled to the ring with her trademark swagger as the audience chanted her name. Initially attacking Becky, it looked like she and Charlotte were just going to do a mutual respect segment, but once the champion turned her back Sasha attacked with a fury. The pop she got when she grabbed Charlotte from behind was one of the biggest of the night, and she cranked on The Banks Statement with a ferocity to get across the fact that she's next in line and coming for the Divas Championship. That's the WrestleMania 32 match that we've been expecting and nothing else would make sense. The only way the segment could have been any better would have been if, just before she exited the ring Sasha would have given Ric Flair a "Woooo!" before elbow -dropping the sports coat he used to distract Becky and help his daughter win.
