WrestleMania XXX was one of the most newsworthy events in the history of WWE, but lost in the shuffle of Daniel Bryan conquering The Authority and Brock Lesnar breaking the streak was the fact that AJ Lee officially turned back the entire women's division. The longest-reigning Divas' Champion up until that point was forced to defend her title against every other woman on the roster, but she emerged victorious.

The following evening on Raw, Lee was bragging about her accomplishments when she was interrupted by NXT Women's Champion Paige, who was making her main roster debut. The fans in attendance - most of whom were hardcore followers of all of the company's products, and many of whom came from Britain for the festivities - went absolutely nuts when she arrived. That frenzy only built, as in a matter of minutes, she had gotten herself into a match with Lee, then beaten the unpredictable champion for the title.

In one fell swoop, Paige became the only woman to hold the WWE Divas' and NXT Women's Titles simultaneously, and she completely changed the face of the main WWE roster.
