Much has been made recently about the change from using the term 'diva' to 'women' and 'superstar' and the introduction of the new Women's Championship in lieu of the seemingly retired Divas Title. It's a decision that should be commended. WWE's female performers have deserved a lot more for a long time now.

Women like Sasha Banks, Bayley and Becky Lynch grew up watching Trish Stratus, Molly Holly, Victoria, Jazz, Lita and the ladies of yesterday kicking ass and taking names on WWE programming. It's only right that they get the opportunity to emulate them, instead of being the 'bathroom break' that women's wrestling in WWE had seemingly become in recent years.

In order to do this, they need to engage in decent rivalries that mean something and move the masses. Great matches are one thing, but memorable disputes are what help to cement legacies. There haven't been too many great women's rivalries in WWE over the years, but I've singled out five that I think really stand out as being something special/memorable, as something to try and ape in the modern age.

WWE have, however, presented a lot of dross featuring the women of the ring over the years so, for the sake of parity, I've taken a look at five of them, too. WWE have a checkered past when it comes to presenting women's rivalries, something demonstrated with these ten examples.
