Ric Flair has no doubt that his daughter Charlotte will steal the show with Sasha Banks at SummerSlam. In fact, he believes the two ladies already put on the best women's match in wrestling history.
"The Boss" will defend her Women's Championship against the WWE Hall of Famer's daughter at "The Biggest Event of the Summer" this Sunday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Banks stole the show with Bayley in that same arena at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn on the eve of last year's SummerSlam.
Banks won the Women's Championship from Charlotte on "Monday NIght RAW" in shocking fashion last month in the first post-WWE Draft edition of the flagship show. Most pundits expected her to get her big win at SummerSlam, but the WWE opted to bestow the honor on her early to kick-off the New Era brand extension with a bang.
Flair recently touched on the match and said he had no issues calling it the best women's match he's ever seen. He also expects the ladies to top themselves come SummerSlam.
"I think the match she had with Sasha on 'RAW' is the greatest women's match I've ever seen," Flair told ESPN. "I don't have a problem saying this, and I have seen some good ones, certainly Trish [Stratus] and Amy ['Lita' Dumas] had some great matches. But you would be hard-pressed to say that anything was ever better.
"That's what's unique about [Charlotte]. All she could think about is, 'Dad, we didn't have time to really put it together.' I said, 'Nobody knows that but you. Wait until SummerSlam, wait until SummerSlam!' But she has been like that her whole life. She just can't stand being second. I couldn't stand it either."
Flair, a record 16-time World Champion and wrestling legend, certainly has high expectations for Sunday's match. It's a huge bout for Banks and Charlotte as the WWE has put a greater emphasis on women's matches and storytelling and the two have a chance to captivate the WWE Universe. They can usher in the women's evolution in full-force by putting on a great match.
As for Charlotte, she'll love playing the heel role come Sunday after changing her character earlier this year.
"It really gave me an opportunity to have some personality," she said. "For me, being a heel comes more natural because Charlotte's character was created upon being genetically superior, which is hard to tell people as a baby face and come across endearing."
