Who is the real Queen of WWE’s Divas division?

Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks: Raw, January 25, 2016

The Irish Lass Kicker locks up with The Boss in a battle of Diva dominance.

Divas Champion Charlotte is certainly finding it lonely at the top. The self-proclaimed “genetically superior Diva” has made enemies out of her former Team PCB teammates Paige and Becky Lynch, and most recently, drawn the ire of “The Boss” Sasha Banks. You can chalk some of that up to being the one with the butterfly-emblazoned title, but her and her father Ric Flair’s dirty tactics are certainly to blame as well.

Either way, the Diva from the Queen City will find herself with another foe tonight on SmackDown when she battles one of WWE’s most talented in-ring competitors, Natalya. Will the Divas Champion continue to show a flair for winning or will The Queen of Harts prove to be the real royalty of the Divas division? Plus, will we see any of Charlotte’s other adversaries make an appearance?
