10 Grand Moments We Need To See At WrestleMania 32
5. The Divas Revolution Culminates With A Sasha Banks Win
Last summer, NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks, Charlotte, and Becky Lynch all joined WWE's main roster at once, kicking off what the company began to refer to as the Divas Revolution. Unfortunately, the dominance of the Bellas and the under-utilisation of Banks meant that things didn't change all that much, and before long, fans started to dismiss the Divas Revolution as a failure. Charlotte won the title and put her feud with Nikki Bella to bed, then slowly turned heel, at which point things changed. Her matches with Paige and Becky proved that WWE could host the same level of women's competition as NXT, and when Banks finally started to get a push, fans were on board. A triple threat title match is scheduled for WrestleMania, pitting Charlotte against both Becky and Sasha. The women who arrived on Raw together are all facing off, making the match a fitting climax to the Divas' Revolution. To really work, though, the bout needs to end with the ultra-popular Boss picking up the victory and claiming the WWE Divas Championship.
