5. Replenishing The Ranks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sve0Bpw0Ag Forget the WWEs version of the Divas Revolution. Its been sanitized and bastardized into a cautionary tale of what happens when WWE is handed a golden opportunity: the company snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Instead, its worth it to focus on the place where the revolution started: NXT. However, NXTs womens division has been depleted due to the recent round of promotions, leaving at one point five regular female wrestlers on television (with others dropping in sporadically). Recently, weve seen Bille Kay and Peyton Royce join the ranks, and Wednesday, Asuka made her much-anticipated debut. (Well largely discount the return of Eva Marie.) We also learned Wednesday that Nia Jax, whose vignettes have been airing for nearly two months, will debut next week on NXT. Once that happens, youll have 10 women featured on television regularly, plus the occasional appearance from ol Blue Pants. Hopefully this new round of women can live up to bar set by NXTs Four Horsewomen.
