5 most important female Superstars in WWE today

#5 Nia Jax

She's not like most girls.

This may be a somewhat controversial pick to go with Nia Jax over someone like Natalya or Naomi, but she has a few elements to her that make her stand apart.

For one thing, Nia is being relatively protected despite taking a few losses, which allows her to remain one of the most dominant women on either brand even without having a title to her name.

This is key to maintaining that status in the future, as there are plenty of examples of people having streaks only to fizzle out once they've lost, like Rusev, Ryback, and even Bo Dallas.

Ignoring the kayfabe ring-work talk, Jax also has a completely unrelated aspect to her that is extremely important in an entirely different way, which is her appearance.

There's no denying that the phrase "body positive" is something emphasized more in the women's division than the men's, and with that being such an intense social topic, Nia Jax is the only plus-sized woman on Raw or SmackDown.

For her to go out there and to be presented not as some monstrosity circus act like Bertha Faye and Bull Nakano, but just a normal woman who takes part in the photo shoots and has her beauty close-ups is a powerful message to send to women everywhere, making her an extremely important woman in the company just for that reason alone.

Those are my picks, but who do you think the top five should be? Tell us in the comments below!
