Charlotte defeated Sasha Banks in an historic main event at WWE Hell in a Cell to win the Raw Women's Championship.

A landmark night in Boston saw a pair of female competitors headline a WWE pay-per-view for the first time in the company's history.

The two talented young women proved they belong in the main event of any card, with an exceptionally intense showing, which surely proved all naysayers wrong.

Charlotte powerbombed Sasha off the cell wall through an announce table to start, putting her participation in the rest of the match in doubt.

But Banks would not say die and responded with some sensational moments of her own, including leaping off the cell wall with a flying knee attack.

Ultimately the finish to the bout was underwhelming, as a table just would not break when Charlotte twice tossed Sasha into it, before hitting Natural Selection.

The crowd were also disappointed that the hometown girl Banks did not emerge victorious, but this rivalry could run all the way to WrestleMania.

Earlier in the night Kevin Owens retained his Universal Championship against Seth Rollins with yet more help from his best friend Chris Jericho.

They didn't take being elbowed out of the main event spot lightly and produced the best encounter of their feud so far - a breathless battle for Raw's world title.

When Owens 'accidentally' sprayed a referee in the face with a fire extinguisher, his removal from the cell allowed Y2J to sneak in and attack Rollins.

KO and Jericho set up two steel chairs and the champion Pop-up Powerbombed the challenger into them for another controversial victory.

The night began with Roman Reigns successfully defending his United States Championship against Rusev inside the 20ft high steel structure.

The Bulgarian Brute looked to have the match won when he applied his Accolade submission hold on Reigns with the help of a steel chain wrapped around his head.

However, Roman inexplicably powered out and when the big man rose to his feet, speared him off the steps and crashing to the canvas for the pinfall.

Bayley bested Dana Brooke with her Bayley to Belly Suplex in a forgettable contest, while Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson gained a key win by dispatching Enzo Amore and Big Cass.

The uneasy alliance of Cesaro and Sheamus thought they had finally ended the epic tag team title reign of The New Day when Cesaro made Xavier Woods tap to a Sharpshooter.

But at the same time at ringside, Kofi Kingston set upon Sheamus as he brawled with Big E, earning the challengers a victory by disqualification, when titles cannot change hands.

There was another new king crowned however, when wily veteran Brian Kendrick outsmarted his former friend, the Cruiserweight Champion T.J. Perkins.

Kendrick feigned injury just long enough for Perkins to come to his aid, then headbutted him and locked in his Captain's Clutch to make the naive youngster tap out.
