Team PCB was a professional wrestling stable in WWE. Team PCB debuted as Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch in July 2015 in a part of the Divas Revolution. Paige left the group in October and Charlotte followed in January, leaving Lynch as the sole member, which in turn officially disbanded the group.

History

On the July 13, 2015 episode of Raw, after weeks of being outnumbered by The Bella Twins and their ally Alicia Fox; Stephanie McMahon called for a "revolution" in the WWE Divas division and introduced the debuting Charlotte and Becky Lynch as Paige's allies. Then NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks would also debut and ally with Naomi and Tamina, leading to a brawl between the three teams.[1] The trio of Paige, Charlotte and Lynch was originally dubbed the "Submission Sorority", before being renamed "PCB" (the first-name initials of each wrestler), after it was discovered that the name "Submission Sorority" was the name of a pornographic website.[2] At Battleground, a triple threat match took place with Charlotte representing PCB, against Sasha Banks of Team B.A.D., and Brie Bella of Team Bella, which Charlotte won.[3] Paige would later lose twice to Banks via submission, once on July 20 in a tag team match[4] and on July 27 in a singles match.[5] The three teams would ultimately face off at SummerSlam in a three team elimination match. Team Bella would first eliminate Team B.A.D., before Becky Lynch pinned Brie Bella to win the match for PCB.[6] On the August 31 episode of Raw, all members of PCB competed in the first ever Divas Beat the Clock challenge, however, Paige fought Sasha Banks to a time limit draw, and Charlotte was named the number one contender to the WWE Divas Championship.[7] Following this, Paige began a brief rivalry with Sasha Banks and lost to her twice on the 7 and 14 September episodes of Raw[8][9] and fought to a no-contest on the September 10 episode of SmackDown.[10]

On September 20, Charlotte went on to defeat Nikki Bella at Night of Champions to win the Divas Championship.[11] During Charlotte's celebration the following night on Raw, Paige turned on her partners and cut a worked shoot promo, where she claimed Charlotte was only there because of her father and berated other members of the Divas division, including Lynch and Natalya, with the latter confronting Paige later that night, thus once again turning villainous in the process.[12] On the following episode of Smackdown, Paige justified her actions by stating that she was the one who started the Divas Revolution, and slapped Natalya when she confronted her again.[13] After more confrontation between the two,[14] Natalya went on to defeat Paige on the October 5 episode of Raw. On the October 15 episode of SmackDown, Natalya was attacked backstage and unable to help Charlotte and Becky Lynch against Team Bella leading to former partner Paige saving them.[15]

On the October 26 episode of Raw, after losing a match to Team Bella, Paige attacked both Charlotte and Becky, thus officially severing ties with the group.[16] In November, after Paige became the new number one contender for Charlotte's Divas Championship, Paige continued to provoke her towards their match at Survivor Series, where Charlotte once again retained her championship. On the November 23 episode of Raw, a rematch between the two took place, after Paige claimed Charlotte had cheated, but the match went into a double count–out. Charlotte began showing signs of a heel turn on the November 30 episode of Raw, when she defeated Becky Lynch by faking a leg injury and a distraction by her father who was at ringside. Dissension between Charlotte and Lynch was further teased on the December 3 episode of SmackDown, when Charlotte attacked Brie Bella while she was locked in Lynch's Dis-arm-her, after Brie accidentally struck Charlotte, causing a disqualification loss for Lynch.

In TLC on December 13, Charlotte went on to successfully defend her title against Paige after multiple distractions of instinct, and further teased her heel turn.

On the December 17 episode of SmackDown, Lynch defeated Brie Bella after Charlotte attacked Brie. Afterwards, Lynch told Charlotte that she wanted to win without interference, to which Charlotte replied "I just didn't want you to lose." Lynch took this as an insult, thinking Charlotte was saying Lynch couldn't win cleanly on her own, widening the division between them and teasing Charlotte's heel turn a bit further. On the January 4, 2016 edition of Raw, Lynch defeated Charlotte in a rematch from their November encounter. Charlotte, furious over her loss, attacked Lynch post-match, thus ending their friendship and officially disbanding the team and turning heel in the process. Three days later on SmackDown, Lynch received a shot at Charlotte's Divas Championship, but she was unsuccessful in capturing the title following Ric Flair's interference.
