1994:
  • Alundra Blayze Vs Bull Nakano - Summerslam 1994 - 3 ¼* - I mean honestly it might seem harsh me not including many WWF Women Matches pre-1994 but nothing really stands out except for The Fabulous Moolah retaining the Womens Championship for “over 10,000” days, the championship was eventually vacated/defunct until late 1993 when Alundra Blayze won against Heidi Lee Morgan in a tournament to win the newly made WWF Championship.

2004:
  • Lita Vs Trish Stratus - Raw 06/12/2004 – Lita became the first women to three times main event a show, this match was really praised when it first happened, and really it still his praised by fans, and WWE. This match can also be remembered by Litas vicious suicide dive outside the ring. I’d like to include WWE make it seem like Lita & Trish were every girls idols growing up, and whether or not that’s true – it’s easy to see that these two had great chemistry together.

2011:
  • Beth Phoenix Vs Kelly Kelly - Night of Champions 2011 - 2 ¼* - This match took place in Phoenix hometown of Buffalo – and I really wish she had won this match. Yes, she was a heel and heels usually lose, but she is one of the saving graces of female competitors in the dark ages in the ‘Diva’s Era’.
2013:
  • AJ Lee Vs Kaitlyn - Payback 2013 – 3* - It seems for a long time, there was no real characters in the ‘Divas division’ for WWE. That was until AJ Lee became the focal point of the product – her gimmick was that she was a little bit crazy but a very good wrestler, and she would go onto compete day in and day night for the Diva’s Championship. This was a feud between real life friends invested in a long time rivalry, and probably my favourite AJ Lee match in her championship reign. I feel like out of most women in WWE these two will be forgotten as true pioneers of a ‘Diva’s Revolution’.
  • Paige Vs Emma - NXT 24/07/2013 - This is the final match in a tournament to determine the first ever NXT women’s championship. Which was big at the time because female wrestlers were mainly only called ‘Divas’. However, Triple H wanted to change that and make sure that the females were treated as actual competitors and superstars. I know people will complain and argue that there aren’t many matches pre-2013 but to be brutually honest many female wrestlers weren’t THAT good, and not only that the WWE and multiple other companies didn’t really give attention to the female wrestlers. It took the world to see how big female competition got in everyday sport such as soccer, basketball and especially in the UFC to help people in WWE understand that the fans wanted to see more of the female wrestlers.
  • Paige Vs Sasha Banks - NXT 11/09/2013 - Sasha Banks, one of the ‘Four Horsewomen’ in NXT would become one of the major players in NXT, but before that she was a preppy, good girl who didn’t make much impact. This match would reveal the birth of ‘The Boss’ gimmick, and would help change the landscape of NXT for years to come.
2014:
  • AJ Lee Vs Natalya - Main Event 11/03/2014 - 3 ½* - A super underrated match that doesn’t get the attention it deserves – I hope people check out this match.
  • Charlotte Vs Natalya - NXT Takeover - 4* - I feel like this match is ignored or forgotten for some strange reason, I mean it’s pretty significant. It’s the first ever 4 star rating women’s match under the WWE/NXT banner. These two have great chemistry with each other as well, I know people are down on a possible face-turn for Charlotte on Smackdown, but I hope it happens so we can get another good match with each other. Charlotte was still somewhat green in her wrestling ability, and Natalya really helped train her and carry her throughout this match and her time in NXT.
  • AJ Lee Vs Paige - Summerslam 2014 - 2 ¼* - I feel as if these two never got the full potential they deserved in WWE, or maybe they just didn’t mesh well together. But people saw ‘dream match’ vibes from these two years ago, I really wish they could’ve feuded after the WWE started promoting the whole ‘Womens Revolution’ – but AJ Lee would retire from wrestling, and Paige would continute to wrestle up until her neck injury which has her currently sidelined.
