Evolve so much you get sent to counseling instead of getting matches

Evolve so much you have the most over female face and a potential crossover star come to RAW from NXT, kill off almost all of her momentum, and turn her into a sniveling, hapless punching bag who gets cheered when she announces she has an injury. :wow:

Evolve so much you have the most dangerous female on the roster with an undefeated streak win the first ever women's Royal Rumble, then have her not only lose at WrestleMania, but tap out, then have her cut a promo after the match about how much better her opponent was. :wow:

Evolve so much you have the division dominated primarily by blondes, even though there are others more deserving. :wow:

Evolve so much you have two women's groups come in and attack the main roster, then not give them any goals or aspirations, even after a member in one of the groups is forced to retire. :wow:

Evolve so much you don't evolve at all. Now, that's a three-year vision. :wow:

Stephanie McMahon On How Triple H Helped Start The Women's Evolution - WrestlingInc.com

WWE Chief Branding Officer Stephanie McMahon was a recent guest on #MaxOut with Ed Mylett to discuss the rise of the women's division, Ronda Rousey, and more.

McMahon was asked about how the Women's Revolution – now the Women's Evolution – began, and she explained the one match that only lasted for 30 seconds, which sparked a hashtag that lasted for three days. McMahon also elaborated on Triple H's influence in NXT, and how that further sparked the Revolution.

"It was a lot of what [Triple H] started to do at NXT, which NXT – for those of you who don't know – started off as our develpmental show, and is now really evolved into a third global touring brand in and of itself and is one of the most watched programs on the WWE Network," said Stephanie. "But my husband started to recruit elite athletes, men and women, and he started training the women same as the men and giving them the same opportunities, because – like anything else – repetitions is how you are gonna get better.

"So at our live events that we do, our local live events, which is where, non-televised, our talent often learn the skills. That's where they hone the craft, the live audience gives a reaction, and that's how you learn what's working, what's not working, and worse, what they don't care about... so he started giving them those opportunities, and them our audience responded in kind. Because these women were so awesome, and they started chanting, 'this is wrestling' and 'women's wrestling'."

Because of this movement, Stephanie explains, the 30-second match that was shown on Raw caused fans to be outraged, due to knowing the potential of the women via matches on NXT. Thus, the #GiveDivasAChance hashtag was commenced, Vince McMahon answered "We hear you" on Twitter, and women's matches became more prominent on the main roster to the point of them headlining Raw, SmackDown, and even pay-per-views.

Now Triple H really started it :russ:

They just refuse to admit that AJ started it, and it's clear that she did since it's being reported that the company reached out to her for an appearance at the ppv. I predict that Sasha & Bayley will steal the show in whatever match they're in, and Trish & Alexa will be a complete dud with Trish winning but pissed that she didn't get to wrestle Sasha or Mickie.
