WWE.com has compiled a list of the “100 matches to see before you die”, highlighting the matches they think made the biggest impression on the wrestling world.
The only Divas match to make the list was Charlotte and Natalya‘s match at NXT Takeover, in which Charlotte became NXT Women’s Champion. The bout landed on the list at #96.
WWE.com explained their choice in writing:
The sole Divas Match on this list displayed the incredible athleticism, strength and desire of two women with arguably the most impressive pedigrees in WWE. Natalya — WWE’s first third-generation Diva, granddaughter of Stu Hart, daughter of Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, niece of Bret Hart — battled Charlotte — daughter of 16-time World Champion Ric Flair — with WWE Hall of Famers Bret and Ric at ringside.
Following submission attempt after submission attempt, including Sharpshooters and Figure-Four Leglocks by both Divas, the self-proclaimed “genetically superior” newcomer hit the Hart Dungeon-trained Diva with her vicious Bow Down to the Queen for the win. In a display of true grace and sportsmanship, the competitors emotionally embraced after the unforgettable match. The athletic Charlotte captured the NXT Women’s Championship against a ring veteran, giving the WWE Universe a taste of what’s to come in the Divas Division.
The match has already nabbed a prestigious spot on a WWE.com list, being named the second greatest match of the first half of 2014 back in July.
