As even most casual WWE fans know, there's been a lot said about the role of women in professional wrestling in 2015. Basically, a lot of the girls themselves don't feel they get as fair a shake of things as the guys, which is obviously because well, they really don't! WWE's own Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are apparently of the same mindset, but Vince McMahon would like to keep things as they are.

It's not exactly a secret that Vince sees the Divas as a side attraction, instead of a portion of the roster that deserves focus and attention. Nonetheless, the female performers in NXT have been earning rave reviews for their matches, bouts which belong alongside the top contests involving men.

At 'The Beast In The East', the girls once again showed their ability. Facing off in a Triple Threat Match, Nikki Bella defended her Divas Title against both Paige and Tamina, and the result was a hard-hitting smasher of a bout. The women really went for it here, landing strikes with venom, much more so than they normally would on regular WWE TV.
