I know, I know... 'Women's Revolution'. But stick with me, because there have undeniably been massive changes of late that have impacted the women's divisions of Raw, SmackDown Live and especially NXT.

Whilst we can all agree that there’s a long way to go until women are at the same level as the men in WWE, there have been plenty of moments in recent times that have made us all think “where has this been in the women’s division?” We now have separate championships for Raw and SmackDown Live, both of which share the designs of the male title equivalents. There are also many different women who are all unique, making the various divisions seem more authentic.

It hasn't happened overnight, but we can point to some particular moments which have defined the gradual change in attitude. Here are the 10 most important.

Don’t get me wrong, this resulted in some pretty average times for women in WWE. However the motivation behind it is why it’s making the list.

The hashtag was trending worldwide and forced WWE to acknowledge the glaring problem that existed in their product. Vince McMahon himself even took to Twitter to acknowledge the movement, saying "We hear you. Keep watching." Now, whilst no big changes were seen for quite a time, the fans were instrumental, if nothing else, in letting the women of WWE know that they were behind them, that they wanted to see better, but most importantly, that the fans felt that the women deserved more.

It was, for better or worse, a catalyst for the movement that brought women's wrestling in WWE to the forefront of discussions.
