Tonight at the Royal Rumble, Charlotte once again reaped the rewards of playing dirty, but her next challenger may have her outclassed in that department.
The Divas Champion retained her title against her former friend Becky Lynch using a combination of skill, sneakiness and the efforts of her father Ric Flair. The WWE Hall of Famer went so far as to steal a kiss from Becky mid-match and, later, toss his jacket on Becky while she had Charlotte trapped in the Dis-Arm-Her, opening the door for Charlotte to take out Becky for the win.
Post-match, though, Charlotte was greeted by another fellow Four Horsewoman: Sasha Banks.

Sasha attacked Becky and extended what appeared to be a friendly challenge for Charlotte’s belt…until the champ turned her back. Then, suddenly, Sasha hit her with the Bank Statement, locking in her signature submission and humiliating the champion.
