1. Charlotte

When Paige jumped to the main roster the night after WrestleMania XXX, the NXT Women's Championship became vacant and would be decided in an eight-woman tournament. It was Charlotte who ended that tournament on top, defeating Emma and Alexa Bliss en route to vanquishing Natalya in the final at the first NXT TakeOver show.

For the next 258 days, Charlotte became the alpha-female that she so clearly was born to be. Charlotte seemed unbeatable as champion, but not unbeatable in the Asuka sense. The Nature Girl was simply able to find a way to win even in the most trying circumstances, defending her title against Bayley, Summer Rae, and Sasha Banks along the way.

She didn't even lose the title one-on-one, instead dropping it to Sasha Banks in a fatal four-way that also included Bayley and Becky Lynch. In many ways Charlotte Flair is the ideal modern pro wrestling champion, a genetically gifted and supremely talented performer who is as dominant as she is vulnerable. Charlotte is better than anyone in the division, but she is far from invincible.

Her NXT Women's Championship reign was the most interesting and exciting for those reasons. It seemed as though she would hold the title forever, but if she had lost it at any moment nobody would have been shocked.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
