Looking back at the WWE landscape in the summer of 2018, Ronda Rousey was beginning to make strides as an in-ring competitor on Raw, while Charlotte Flair was undeniably the biggest Superstar in either of the company’s two main-roster women’s divisions.

Elsewhere across the two brands, Sasha Banks and Bayley were midway through the worst year of their WWE careers so far, Alexa Bliss was Raw Women’s champion but her reign was destined to come to an end, and Becky Lynch and Asuka were being completely overshadowed by Carmella’s title reign on SmackDown Live.

Right now, it would be an exaggeration to say that Flair is the John Cena or Roman Reigns of the women’s division. Back then, however, that would have been an accurate description of how she was being presented in WWE’s storylines.

Following her run of pay-per-view defeats, other female Superstars have been able to step up during that time (Lynch, Asuka etc) and stake their claim to seriously challenge “The Queen” as the top woman in the company.

Would that have happened if Flair continued winning? Almost certainly not.
