During late 2016, Charlotte Flair engaged in a heated rivalry with then RAW Women's Champion Sasha Banks. Their rivalry culminated in a Hell in a Cell match at the main event of the namesake pay-per-view and she became the first woman alongside Banks to participate in a Hell in a Cell match and headline a pay-per-view.

Charlotte defeated Sasha to become a three-time women's champion but more than winning the championship, the feat of participating in the first-ever women's Hell in a Cell match and winning it will be remembered for years to come. The second women's Hell in a Cell match took place this year and Sasha Banks once again competed in the event against Becky Lynch but she came out as the loser once again.


#3 She is a 10-time women's champion

Charlotte Flair is the first woman to have accomplished the feat of winning the women's championship 10 times. Charlotte has won all the singles titles in the women's division which proves that she has always been in the title picture since her debut. She has held the Divas Championship once, won the RAW Women's Champion four times, and won the SmackDown Women's Championship on five different occasions.

She defeated Bayley at Hell in a Cell 2019 to become the SmackDown Women's Championship for the fifth time. This made her a 10-time champion and she broke the previous record set by WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus at seven reigns. She also defeated Stratus at SummerSlam 2019 in a passing-of-the-torch moment.

One could say that Charlotte is the greatest women's wrestler in WWE in the current era and might as well surpass her father, Ric Flair's reign of 16 championships in the days to come. It also remains to be seen if she can partner up with somebody and win the Tag Team Championship as well.
