10 WWE Matches That Prove This Is The Best Era In Women's Wrestling

10. Emma Vs. Paige - NXT ArRIVAL

If you caught the Emma-Paige match at NXT ArRIVAL back in February 2014, you knew the days of the WWE Diva were going to be put to bed. Made total sense, too, considering that the match involved Paige, who was being trumped as NXT's Anti-Diva.

As the first-ever live streamed event on the WWE Network, these two arguably stole the show via nearly 15 minutes of back-and-forth, heart-racing action. The crowd at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida let them know their appreciation, chanting "this is awesome" as Paige and Emma ripped into each other.

Brutal, yet technical, the bout finally ended when Paige trapped Emma into the PTO to get the submission victory. Suddenly, going away from a pudding match and actually allowing two women to show off their wrestling skills was a flash of brilliance.

Better late that never, right?
