To the WWE? They haven't brought in shyt. What are u dudes smoking today?She's right
Whether you like it or not Total Divas was a big part in bringing more female fans.
Total Divas got alot of the tumblr fanbase into wrestling too
Things got hot with AJ Lee..fans chose her over everyone. Sasha and Bayley having the two near 5 star matches and Sasha vs Becky which led to Becky getting a standing ovation a few months before that is when everyone gave them ultra props. That was the start.

Total Divas has it's own fanbase that doesn't even watch WWE programming, possibly because 90% of the rest of WWE programming is men but that's a moot point.
Similar to The Wrestler and GLOW, I've learned over the years that people who have never loved wrestling in the past, will 99.9% not grow to love it because of some movie or show.
Paige/Emma at NXT Arrival was the first time even WWE hardcore fans sat and watched two women wrestle for more than 10 minutes and enjoy it but with Paige's actions and Emma's actions, they'll never get their just due.

Lying broad lying again
I guess u forgot all those We Want Sasha chants during the Bellas segments in 2015
They watched something since they got more over than the bellas ever did.
I could of swore it was a hashtag that started it. Doesn't surprise me she's trying to take credit. She got pushed to the side when it started.
"Give Divas a Chance" and all that. I wasn't even watching the product regularly at the time, but I remember that blowing up.
I'm not going to say for certain Total Divas had no effect in bringing female viewers because I don't have numbers or anything to back it up. But to say it started the women's revolution? Hmmm...You gotta keep in mind that the revolution was about women being taken seriously in the ring. Not just by fans, but by management. Even after Total Divas started, the women were still largely after thoughts on actual WWE programming. They were getting left off PPV cards and having meaningless tag matches that only lasted minutes even after the show had been on for several seasons. The tide didn't start to shift until Paige, Emma, Sasha, etc started poppin and showing there was money to be made in women's wrestling without a reality show to bolster it.
Honestly, Nikki often comes across like she's desperate to be respected and admired. She knows most fans don't hold her in the same regard as vets like Trish or Lita, and that she was largely pushed aside for the Horsewomen. shyt, she was on Smackdown last year catching the beats and getting ethered by a chick who was fresh out the performance center.
It's crazy because she's plenty successful without being considered a pioneer in wrestling. She created a lane for herself in reality TV and has had a decent career as a wrestler. Have some pride. You too old to be trying to take shine away from these younger girls.

We Are NXT!
Such a revolution the show still has the word "Divas" in it.

Yeah it was a hashtag and AJ Lee that got it poppin, Nikki not too long ago was letting Brie wipe icing off her titties, she ain't start shyt
She's been pushing this narrative since she was gifted the longest reigning Diva championship run.
Sis, everyone who watched the product at ALL knows you lying.
Paige/Emma and Natalya/Charlotte's awesome matches in NXT were what got the people talking.
The Bella's LITERALLY had zero to do with that, no matter who they try to convince otherwise.

Bellas so desperately want to be in the conversation of the "Women's Revolution", but the truth is, they were/are the epitome of what a WWE Diva is and that's not a compliment. They're part of the old shytty era, not the new and improved one.
