The history of Women’s evolution in WWE 

Even though WWE is one of the most successful professional wrestling companies. Still, it took ages for the women’s division to get two segments on TV. WWE Universe came across the women’s division in the 1980s. And, in the 1990s, the company introduced the term “Diva” for female wrestlers. With the arrival of the 2000s women started to do high-risk moves like moonsaults. However, still they were mostly booked as S*xualized valets.

But, things started to mend a little during the “Ruthless Aggression Era”. Trish Stratus, Molly Holly, Victoria, and Lita carried the women’s division and WWE started to hire more female talents. In 2013, Renee Young became the first woman to be an on-air commentator.  

At WrestleMania 32, WWE finally got rid of the term “Diva”. And, started to refer the female wrestlers as superstars just like male ones. The company even introduced the women’s championship. This happened after WWE faced severe criticism as they mostly portrayed female wrestlers as s*x appeal. 

And, in WrestleMania 35, WWE featured a women’s match as the main event for the first time in the history of the company.

It took 35 WrestleMania pay-per-views for WWE to book female superstars in the main event. Not only the female wrestlers but even the co-CEO Stephanie McMahon used to get humiliating storylines. In 2015 #GiveDivasAChance trended on Twitter after a heavily criticized 30-second match between The Bella Twins and the team of Paige and Emma. It brought the Divas Revolution to the company. And now,  fans are tweeting with #WWEWomenDeseveBetter. Will it bring another revolution in WWE women’s division?
