TakeOver has played host to a slew of sensational women's matches over the past two and a half years, and more often than not, it's the women's matches that steal the show. That may not exactly have been the case at R Evolution in December 2014 due to the night's monumental main event between Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville, but Charlotte and Sasha Banks ripped it up in their clash for the NXT Women's Championship.

Before they were battling over the WWE Women's Championship, the NXT Women's title was the prize that Charlotte and Banks both desired, going to war for the gold on no less than a half dozen occasions. And every match of theirs was absolutely exceptional.

On this particular evening, Banks came closer than she ever had before to ending Charlotte's seven month reign as NXT Women's champion, showcasing her skills and proving her worth to the NXT faithful. Charlotte delivered yet another impressive performance as well and kept her reign rolling with an amazing-looking Natural Selection off the top rope.

Two years later, they find themselves going one-on-one at SummerSlam, but just remember that their rivalry started with R Evolution and this instant classic.
