5. Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch – Royal Rumble 2016
The WWE Divas Championship was defended at the Royal Rumble for the final time in 2016. Charlotte Flair defended her title against her former best friend, Becky Lynch. However, Flair’s father, and two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, accompanied her to the ring. Nevertheless, “Naitch” couldn’t keep his nose out of his daughter’s championship bout with the Irish Lass kicker.
Flair and Lynch’s meeting at the Royal Rumble was their first high-profile one-on-one bout on a WWE PPV. As expected, the crowd was heavily backing Lynch to dethrone the Queen. For sure, Flair and Lynch would go on to have better matches. However, in the history of the Royal Rumble’s top women’s world title bouts, it was one of the best. Furthermore, the Nature Boy kissing Lynch was controversial, and Charlotte Flair took advantage to retain the Divas Championship.
