This can only be considered a step forward by the WWE brain trust, because the company do not have a long track record of treating women as equal performers to their male counterparts.

Indeed, Vince McMahon has always seemed to view female wrestling as a sideshow component for his events, a distraction as opposed to a full-blown attraction. That attitude is clearly outdated, and the head honcho has been encouraged to change his thinking. 

That's precisely why there was no mention of the word 'Diva' once WrestleMania properly got underway.

Thankfully, it looks like WWE have finally decided it's time to put the antiquated term to rest. Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks were referred to as 'Superstars' throughout their Triple Threat bout. 

The pre-show 10-woman tag match still featured the Diva branding, but that's likely because many of the females involved have ties to the Total Divas reality TV show WWE are ever eager to push.
