width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The match that kickstarted it all way back in 2015.\u00a0 The four horsewomen collided after feuding for much of 2014.\u00a0 In just 11 action-packed minutes all four women brought the fight to each other while playing into the history between each participant.\u00a0 Far from the best match, each woman would have this is a defining match in each woman&#8217;s career.<\/p>\n<h2>Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch &#8211; NXT Takeover: Unstoppable<\/h2>\n<p>Considered by many as the match that proved Lynch belonged this match saw the former teammates collide.\u00a0 Banks defended her newly own NXT Women&#8217;s Championship and had all the cockiness in the world.\u00a0 Becky Lynch was given the chance to showcase her amazing babyface fire that she would become known for.\u00a0 Banks&#8217; performance in this one was great as her personality shone throughout the match as she played up her cockiness to get the crowd rooting for Lynch.<\/p>\n<h2>Sasha Banks vs Bayley &#8211; NXT Takeover: Brooklyn<\/h2>\n<p>For many fans, this is THE match that made them sit up and take notice of not only women&#8217;s wrestling but the two women involved.\u00a0 Once again Sasha Banks played the cocky champion role to perfection against the beloved underdog Bayley.\u00a0 They not only told a great story but they delivered an entertaining match full of great spots that people didn&#8217;t expect to see from a women&#8217;s match.\u00a0 A neccessary addition to any list of Sasha Banks matches<\/p>\n<h2>Sasha Banks vs Bayley &#8211;

heelishness very well as the crowd was once again all in on Bayley getting the win.<\/p>\n<h2>Sasha Banks vs Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch &#8211; WrestleMania 32<\/h2>\n<p>WrestleMania 32 was not the amazing show many expected it to be, despite that these three women went out there in a bid to deliver the match of the night, and that is exactly what they did.\u00a0 This was the first time the main roster audience got to see these women let loose and they delivered a triple threat match worthy of crowning the first Women&#8217;s Champion.<\/p>\n<h2>Sasha Banks vs Charlotte Flair Falls Count Anywhere &#8211; Monday Night RAW<\/h2>\n<p>Tasked with going on last, Banks and Flair went to war in a falls count anywhere match.\u00a0 \u00a0The feud between the two had been brewing for months and they let out all of that aggression here in a violent, visceral match.\u00a0 This was the first time Banks proved that she can work with plunder better than almost anyone else, something she&#8217;d prove again and again.<\/p>\n<h2>Sasha Banks vs Ronda Rousey &#8211; Royal Rumble 2019<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FULL MATCH - Ronda Rousey vs. Sasha Banks \u2013 Raw Women\u2019s Title Match: Royal Rumble 2019\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3sN-lC3dMYs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This match is something of a hidden gem for both women but it was a very well worked match that saw Banks take advantage of any weakness in Rousey&#8217;s game to try and survive.\u00a0 Banks once again displayed her storytelling abilities throughout this match before inevitably falling to the superior Rousey after her limb work didn&#8217;t pay off.<\/p>\n<h2>Sasha Banks &amp; Bayley vs Becky Lynch &amp; Charlotte Flair &#8211; Monday Night RAW<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DzHcLo0-_WQ\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another hidden gem in the annals of all four women.\u00a0 This tag team match featured the Four Horsewomen colliding, and things were very different from the last time thye shared a ring.\u00a0 They built to a very strong hot tag which kicked the match into life as the four left it all in the ring in search of victory<\/p>\n<h2>Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch &#8211; Hell In A Cell 2019<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mQW9BZ3ezUg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In our opinion this is one of the best Hell In A Cell matches ever, and is one of the best Sasha Banks matches you could see.\u00a0 They used the Hell In A Cell sturcture and the weapong available to them to its fullest and pulled out some very innovative spots.\u00a0 Both women put their bodies on the line here and delivered an interesting and unique cell match.<\/p>\n<h2>Sasha Banks vs Asuka &#8211; SummerSlam 2020<\/h2>\n<p>Banks and Asuka spent much of 2020 having great matches with one another as part of the\u00a0<strong>Kabuki Warriors\u00a0<\/strong>vs Bayley &amp; Banks feud.\u00a0 Arguably their best match was as\u00a0SummerSlam 2020 which had Asuka fighting to regain her RAW Women&#8217;s Championship.\u00a0 This was the most intense meeting between the two with Asuka looking for revenge while Banks despereately fought her off to try and keep the title.<\/p>\n<h2>Sasha Banks vs Bayley &#8211; Hell In A Cell 2020<\/h2>\n<p>After having one of the best cell matches in history in 2019 the bar was high for Banks&#8217; return to the cell.\u00a0 This match had the added bonus of being a grudge match between Banks and Bayley to cap off their year long storyline.\u00a0 Much like the Lynch match this was an innovative match that used the weapons and cell structure to its fullest.\u00a0 The aggression showed by both women only added to proceedings as each new spot was an attempt to do serious harm to their hated enemy.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a> for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
