5 People Most Responsible For The Women's Evolution In The WWE

#1 The Fans

When Paige and Emma faced the Bella Twins in a tag team match on the February 23, 2015 episode of Monday Night RAW, the match itself lasted all of 30 seconds. Largely influenced by the huge success of the NXT women, the WWE Universe angrily tweeted their thoughts on the match, using the hashtag #GiveDivas AChance.

Since then, the women have been getting longer matches with episodes of RAW, SmackDown and the PPVs featuring either two or even three matches as opposed to the Divas Era in which they would get one match (if they're lucky) with some shows not featuring a women's match.
