Top 5 Matches in WWE Fastlane history

#3 - "WWE RAW Women's Championship Match" - Bayley versus Charlotte Flair (Fastlane 2017)

Bayley vs Charlotte Flair

Our next match is without a doubt one of my favorite women's matches from the pay-per-view history of WWE Fastlane to date.

The match was booked based on the events of the February 13th edition of Monday Night RAW, where we saw Bayley capture the RAW Women's Championship from Charlotte Flair with a little assist from Sasha Banks. The following week, RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon ordered for Bayley to relinquish the title and hand it back over Charlotte due to Sasha's interference, but instead Charlotte chose to revoke her rematch clause in order to challenge Bayley to a rematch at Fastlane.

Sasha and Bayley would later lose to Charlotte and Nia Jax in a tag team match. Following the match, Sasha told Bayley she would be in her corner at Fastlane to ensure that Charlotte would not pull any stunts. Overhearing this conversation, Stephanie McMahon would book a match between Sasha Banks and Nia Jax at Fastlane, whilst the match between Charlotte and Bayley would take place as advertised.

The match was as good as you'd expect between Bayley and Charlotte, as both women put on a wrestling clinic and arguably had one of the best matches of the evening. Sasha Banks would make her presence known and distract Charlotte to give Bayley the golden opportunity to connect with a Bayley-to-Belly Suplex on the arena floor.

Later on in the match, Charlotte attempted to pin Bayley with a roll-up while grabbing a handful of tights. Sasha distracted the referee to inform the ref of Charlotte's cheating. The pinfall attempt was immediately stopped, allowing for Bayley to make a comeback and connect with one more Bayley-to-Belly Suplex to get the pinfall and the victory over Charlotte Flair to retain the RAW Women's Championship.
