Time for a (slightly) controversial statement: Charlotte Flair is the absolute best female worker on WWE's books right now.

Some will agree, others may not, but it can't be denied that Flair's consistency in terms of delivering solid pay-per-view performances makes her the woman to beat. She proved her worth yet again at Fastlane by taking an unproven opponent and turning an afterthought of a program into something worthy of fan attention.

Line Charlotte Flair vs. Ruby Riott up against the other female match on the card for further proof that Flair's star power helps mightily even when the writers toss little her way. That's what top names do; they make the best of poor situations, and Charlotte did at Fastlane.

By selling for Riott and then winning strongly via submission, Charlotte looked like a credible champion. She took the best her upstart rival had and came out the other end shining. That only made what happened next even sweeter...
