Wrestling's strongest rivalry  will end on a high note

The year 2016 could be seen as such a random, crazy, questionable year, but for the world wrestling entertainment's women division, it was groundbreaking and historic. What more of a fitting way for the ladies to end this ground breaking year than by writing more history for this division.

Building on the success of NXT, WWE’s developmental flagship program, where they have had their female athletes compete in the company’s first women’s ironman match. The competitor who gets the most wins via pin fall or submission will finally be introduced to the main roster of WWE’s Monday night Raw.

The final chapter of the companies’ best and strongest rivalry will debut this match with Charlotte Flair going up against the champion Sasha Banks.

To end this rivalry, they have included a non rematch clause for this match, so the outcome of it will determine if the WWE will finally end Charlotte’s undefeated streak of 17-0 on pay per view matches and finally give Banks a title run that she has been long overdue for.

The ladies have held their own respectively at 3-2, with Banks losing the belt at pay per views, which Charlotte remains undefeated in. But on Raw, where the company has showcased the women by incorporating historic matches between two, Banks is 3-0 in those fights. So on Raw Banks wins, on pay per view Charlotte wins. Could that change this Sunday? And create an even stronger women’s division by developing another rivalry with the already crowd favorite Bayley

They’ve competed in the first ever women’s ‘Hell in a Cell’ match at the respective pay per view; they competed on Raw in a first ever falls count anywhere match that ended in the stands of Charlotte, North Carolina. Ric Flair came out congratulated Banks in the hometown of the Flairs after dedicating the fight to him. All this coming after a early promo done earlier this year where Charlotte kicked her father out of the castle in her kingdom in front of everybody.


Respect is given to everybody involved for establishing and breaking a different norm for this division. Creating an even more interesting aspect is seeing the women decide to put their bodies through the pain. This should be one epic fight if their previous ones have been any indication of the athletes' ability to top their previous performances. The very first bout they had on Raw, where Banks left with the title, was the longest females match on Raw ever. It displayed the show's commitment to get the women’s division over.

The story telling on this feud is somewhere else right now, clearly it is one of the few stories the WWE creative front has gone all in on. So for the final act of this rivalry in 2016, the ending could go either way, Charlotte retaining the belt and proving she is the top athlete in the women’s division, or will WWE be willing to pull the trigger and end Charlotte’s undefeated streak and finally enter the Sasha Banks era of champion in 2017?

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
