History was made 12 months ago, when Charlotte beat Sasha Banks in the first ever women's WWE Hell in a Cell match.

Topping the bill, the women were also the first to headline a main roster WWE pay-per-view.

A year on, and things look different though. As it stands, there's only one women's match confirmed on the cards.

WWE Hell in a Cell's 7 best ever matches - including The Undertaker, Mankind, Shawn Michaels and Triple H

Moreover, when Natalya defends the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship against Charlotte, it'll be a standard singles match.

The Cell is being reserved for the Tag Team battle between The Usos and The New Day and Shane McMahon's face-off with Kevin Owens.

Does this mean a step back in the much vaunted Women's Revolution? The first ever SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch is having none of it.

"No, I don't think so, personally," Becky told Digital Spy.

"Say for example you had Bray Wyatt in Hell in Cell last year – I know he's not in our division, but if he's not in a Hell in a Cell match this year, it's not a step backwards.

"Not for him or for the brand or for the company. It's just a rotation."

She continued: "You can't overdo it, as well. Or do it for the sake of, 'Oh there's a Women's Revolution so they have to have a Hell in a Cell match'.

"I think that's grasping at straws and that's forcing things. Unfortunately, Charlotte and Natalya, they haven't had the longest storyline in this circumstance going into Hell in a Cell.

"Charlotte has a new character and Natalya has a new character and we're seeing a different element of both of them.

"To put them into a Hell in a Cell right off the bat, where do you go from there? So no, I don't think it's a step backwards at all to not have a women's Hell in a Cell match."

As it stands, Becky is absent from tonight's match card, and she naturally isn't too happy about that.

"To me, it always feels like a missed goal. I feel like I'm on a football field, I'm a striker and I missed a goal," she admitted.

"In WWE things always change and there's still hope, but you've just got to learn to ride it.

"You always want to be on top and you always want to be having pay-per-view matches and you always want to be having classics.

"That's always my goal and my ambition – keep the eye of the tiger and keep looking forward.

"Who knows? By this time next year, I could have main evented WrestleMania with the Four Horsewomen.

"You've always got to keep your eye set on the ultimate goal."

Looking to the goal of retaining the SmackDown Women's Championship, Becky will be keeping a keen eye on tonight's match with special interest as to who wins.

"Charlotte's my favourite opponent of all time, so obviously the chance to go against her would be amazing, but also I love stepping into the ring with Natalya," she said.

"They're both extremely capable and talented women that have done a lot for the sport, and I'm excited to watch their match at Hell in a Cell and see who comes out the victor.

"It's such a hard question because I wanna take it off Natalya rather than my best friend!"

Of Natalya surprising many fans by finally getting WWE gold once more, Becky said: "To be honest with you, it's not a surprise to me.

"I've known Natalya since I was 18 on my first tour of Japan. I watched her go through that tour with a torn ACL and pull through as if it was nothing.

"I've watched her have so many incredible matches, for example with Charlotte, and never really get the credit she deserves, so I wasn't surprised at all.

"She's from one of the greatest wrestling families of all time, so of course she would be the champion again."
