Charlotte Flair's matches with Sasha Banks on Monday Night Raw and pay-per-views like Hell In A Cell will forever be remembered as some of the greatest female bouts in WWE history. This week, WWE themselves put out a special message congratulating Charlotte on her latest milestone.

According to the press release, the SmackDown newcomer is the first woman in company history to headline episodes of Raw, SmackDown and a full pay-per-view event. Previously, Flair had been in the main event slot of Raw with Banks, and the pair headlined the aforementioned Hell In A Cell show last October.

Now, following her headline encounter opposite Naomi on this week's SmackDown Live, one of WWE's best female performers has completed the trio.

This is something to brag about, because there will never be another 'first' like this again. Even female greats like Trish Stratus and Lita can't claim to have headlined both major television shows in WWE and a pay-per-view, so it makes sense that the promotion would want to celebrate Charlotte's achievement.
