Charlotte Flair defeated Sasha Banks to become the new (and 4-Time) RAW Women's Champion in a 30 minute Iron Man Match that went into sudden death overtime. Charlotte appeared on RAW Talk after the pay-per-view and quickly got emotional when discussing her victory.
"I was just replaying the last four years," Charlotte began, fighting back tears. "(Sasha) was the first women I stepped into the ring with in NXT and it's been a battle those last four years. In those last 30 seconds [of last night's match] I was going to walk out "The Woman," because I've told her since day one that I was the best."
Later, when asked how it felt, knowing that she was moving on from her feud with Sasha, Charlotte began to cry and, in a bit of breaking kayfabe, she praised her rival.
"Sasha just makes me want to be better," Charlotte said. "When I started at NXT I said that I wanted to be just as good as she was. I just followed in her footsteps and kept pushing and pushing. When I got to the main roster, I just said 'I want to be the best.' I don't like being second, and she's that one person I just want to be better than."
Charlotte also Tweeted Sasha after their match tonight:
