5 Times WWE had to change storylines due to fans

#2 The entire landscape of women’s wrestling

WWE's women are given more opportunities now

In February 2015, the Bella Twins defeated Emma & Paige in a 30-second match on Monday Night Raw.

What seemed like a relatively meaningless match turned out to be one of the most significant moments in the history of women’s wrestling, as the WWE Universe let their voices be heard on social media by making the hashtag #GiveDivasAChance trend on Twitter for the next three days.

From then on, and with talented up-and-comers including Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch ready to make their main-roster debuts, 30-second matches became a thing of the past and WWE bowed to fans’ demands by making a conscious effort to give its female performers more storylines and time on television.

Three-and-a-half years later, women’s wrestling has never been more popular.
