On the August 31 episode of "Raw", Charlotte overcame fellow Team PCB members' records in the first ever Divas Beat the Clock challenge, and was named the new number one contender to Nikki Bella's Divas Championship. Her title match against Nikki Bella, initially advertised for Night of Champions, took place on the September 14 episode of "Raw", so Charlotte could stop Bella from surpassing AJ Lee's record and becoming the longest-reigning Divas Champion. Charlotte won the match by disqualification after she pinned Brie due to the twins switching places, causing Nikki to retain her title and beat the record in the process. On September 20 at Night of Champions, Charlotte defeated Nikki in a rematch to win the Divas Championship for the first time. During Charlotte's celebration the following night on "Raw", Paige cut a worked shoot promo and turned on her and Lynch, berating them and the Divas division. Throughout October, Paige acted as if she wanted to reconcile with Lynch and Charlotte, only to attack them both and cement her departure from the team, just a night after Charlotte successfully retained her championship against Nikki Bella at Hell in a Cell. In the end of 2015, Charlotte successfully defended her title against Paige on three different occasions—at Survivor Series on November 22, in a rematch the following night on "Raw" and at on December 13.
