WWE 2016 Rumors: Sasha Banks vs Charlotte in Hell in a Cell? The Boss vs Bayley Set Up for WrestleMania
For years, WWE did not believe women could wrestle. The company positioned them as managers or part of male wrestlers' entourages, secretaries and girlfriends. Even when they were given their own division and championship, they were either highly sexualized or utterly humiliated for men's entertainment.
This year, all that history can just fade into obscurity. The Divas, a mix of able but discriminated wrestlers and models who competed in Bra and Panties matches, had now been usurped by the Women's Revolution. The Women's Championship is back and contention for the title is even hotter than whatever WWE thought they should do with women.

To be a main eventer, even in a television spot on whichever brand, is the dream for all up-and-coming superstars in the WWE. For women, that dream goes a notch higher as they were never as relevant enough to the company to get that main event nod.
That all hanged this week on Raw. Charlotte was booked to defend her Women's Championship against Sasha Banks at the main event. This is the first time such opportunity was given to women on the roster since Trish Stratus vs. Lita a decade back.
The bigger news, however, is Sasha Banks reclaiming the title. Sasha Banks won the belt from Charlotte on Raw prior to SummerSlam, where she lost it back to Charlotte. Rumor has it that the move was due to Banks having a back injury. Nevertheless, Banks returned after the injury scare and even faced Charlotte and Bayley in a Triple Threat match.
Now pundits are saying women should main event the next pay-per-view, and given the name of the upcoming PPV, it should be a Hell in a Cell match. Women have never wrestled in such a setup and this would be a great deal considering the fans are backing them up.
Sasha Banks vs Bayley
The Inquisitr reported that Charlotte lost the title to set up an angle for Banks and Bayley at WrestleMania 33. Since Banks was not really supposed to lose it to Charlotte at SummerSlam, Creative had to redo the angle.
The current plan is to put the belt on Sasha long enough so she can spark a feud with Bayley. This would lead to a possible title match at the grandest stage of them all. They are two of the most beloved wrestlers in the business today and a huge pop could be expected should they co-main event WWE's flagship PPV.
