We've picked out the best moves from this week's Raw , including an epic Women's Championship match between Charlotte and Sasha Banks.

Sasha Banks downed Charlotte in her opponent's home town on Monday night to become Raw Women's Champion for the third time.

The Boss backed up her title triumphs over The Nature Girl on Raw in July and October by winning a No Disqualification, Falls Count Anywhere Match in Charlotte, North Carolina as she regained the strap she shipped in the first-ever Women's Hell in a Cell Match.

Banks and Charlotte, whose initial bout earlier in the night ended in a double count-out, battled all over the Spectrum Center, with Charlotte hitting a Natural Selection off the ring steps and a moonsault off the announce desk.

However, Banks prevailed when she locked in a Bank Statement on the champion between a railing, leaving an anguished Charlotte no choice but to tap out and Banks able to celebrate with her foe's father, Ric Flair.

Roman Reigns also enjoyed a productive evening, defeating Kevin Owens to earn a shot at the Canadian's Universal Championship at Raw's Roadblock: End of the Line pay-per-view on December 18.

Owens' best friend, Chris Jericho, was absent from ringside having been Pedigreed onto a car by Seth Rollins and the champion struggled in his absence, losing via two Superman punches and a spear.
