Female superstars gather for first-ever announcement about Royal Rumble for womenWWE

Three years ago, after a 30-second women's match, fans asked WWE more with the #GiveDivasAChance hashtag, which followed a global trend for three days. Fans wanted longer matches highlighting the athleticism of their female talent.

And WWE delivered. At WrestleMania 32, a Divas division name change was announced, giving way to the women's division with a new championship title more similar to men's. It has also been announced that women would be called Superstars, like men, giving up the nickname Divas.

Since then, we have witnessed the creation of the Mae Young Clbadic, a women's tournament, and the first-ever Royal Rumble women's game, Hell in a Cell and Money in the Bank.

Tonight, women have their first female pay-per-view, Evolution. An appropriate name for a WWE era with global implications.

There was also a runoff effect that goes beyond the Gross and Smack down the alignments. At present, 30% of the members of the Performance Center are women, 40% of whom are of international origin, from 12 countries and speaking seven different languages. Increased representation at the development level will likely be reflected at the highest level early on, with 70% of women Gross and Smack down the lists come from the Performance Center.

In just three years, the number of women on the Superstars list has almost doubled from 28 to 50. WWE has also hired three coaches and its first referee.

It's obvious that fan demand is there for female Superstars when you check social media. Five female WWE Superstars rank among the top 10 female athletes on Facebook:
