In the summer of 2015, WWE began featuring female Superstars more prominently on the main roster after Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks received call-ups from Triple H’s NXT.

Whenever fans have debates about who started the Divas Revolution/Women’s Evolution, the names of WWE’s Four Horsewomen – the aforementioned trio, plus Bayley – are always brought up, and so are Paige and Emma.

Prior to Triple H introducing TakeOver events in NXT, the black and gold brand held a special NXT Arrival show in February 2014. Unlike WWE’s main-roster Divas matches, which usually lasted 2-6 minutes, Paige defeated Emma in a 12-minute encounter that was widely praised by fans.

While Emma never won the NXT Women’s Championship, she still had an important role to play when Triple H made it clear that the brand’s women’s division was going to be taken seriously.

Unfortunately, despite her NXT reputation, Emma was never treated as a legitimate threat after she moved to Vince McMahon’s main roster.

The Aussie Superstar only received two title opportunities in her three-and-a-half-year stint on RAW and SmackDown, and both of those matches involved at least four other competitors.
