The Women's Revolution Timeline

The Four Horsewomen (2015)

Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, and Bayley arrived from NXT and immediately elevated WWE's women's division. Their NXT matches — particularly the Four Horsewomen matches — showed the world what women's wrestling could be.

WrestleMania Main Events

WrestleMania 35 in 2019 saw Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey main event the biggest show of the year. It was a watershed moment proving that women's wrestling had permanently changed WWE's programming structure.

The New Era (2024-2026)

Rhea Ripley's reign as Mania-main-event champion, IYO SKY's technically excellent title run, Bianca Belair's continued excellence, Tiffany Stratton's rise — today's women's division is arguably the deepest in WWE history.
