Hell In A Cell 2016 was a decent pay-per-view, but it should have been so much more. None of the night's three HIAC matches lived up to expectations, with Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte the most disappointing.

This was a historic showdown in a couple of ways. It was the first time two women had ever competed inside the demonic structure, and, more significantly, the first time a women's match had headlined a WWE pay-per-view. For those reasons, Sasha vs. Charlotte earns this relatively high spot on the list, but the finish didn't go over with the crowd at all.

Sasha was fighting in her hometown, but she almost didn't get out of the starting blocks. She was fastened into a stretcher after going through the announce table early on, and while she eventually returned, this booking decision ground the match to a halt. The action that followed Banks' comeback was strong, but they'd already lost steam by that point.

The finish was just as bad. Charlotte threw Sasha against a table twice, but it just wouldn't break. In the end, she settled for a Natural Selection out of nowhere, the referee counted the pinfall, and that was that. Sasha had lost in her hometown, and the crowd were numb to it.

This should have been one of the best matches of Sasha and Charlotte's feud, but it barely breaks the top five. A huge, huge missed opportunity for both women, and WWE as a whole.
