Sasha Banks and Charlotte have made a habit of making history together. The Revolutionaries helped spark the return to prominence of women's wrestling in WWE. Last week, they participated in the first women's match to main-event Monday Night Raw in twelve years. It is onward and upward now for the rivals, as they will become, on October 30th, the first two women to ever compete in a Hell in a Cell Match.

With all of the ground that they have been breaking for women's wrestling, especially in the last year, Banks and Charlotte are on the fast track to already becoming two of the most important wrestlers of their generation and, should future historical context reflect on their storyline as an agent of consistent change for women in WWE (and beyond), perhaps they might also be one day considered two of the most important wrestlers of all-time.

Hyperbole aside, it will be interesting to see how they handle the environment, but the personal nature of their feud suggests that they will embrace the barbarism that the gimmick promotes (so much as the Cell in a PG world will allow). The mere confirmation of a Women's Title bout being contested inside the Cell was a must-see moment in time.
