10 Milestones of WWE's long road of decline

#10 Burying the Women's Revolution

A month after main eventing WrestleMania, and it feels like it hasn't mattered at all. The women's division is as unexciting as it's been in a long time and has been on a downward spiral since the Royal Rumble, with a horrendous build to the WrestleMania main event. The reign of "Becky two Belts" has already been abysmal, with Lynch saddled with a green Lacey Evans and yet another match with Charlotte Flair.

The aforementioned Flair's booking is a key component in why the division feels like it's so thin. Much like Lesnar, her booking has been a ceiling on many potential stars, with the popular Sasha Banks and Asuka being sacrificed on her altar. Even Becky Lynch only got to where she is by being too over to ignore. It was by no means WWE's original plan.

Elsewhere, other stars, like Bayley, were sacrificed to Alexa Bliss, Vince McMahon's other blonde favorite, and never recovered. Bliss herself didn't create an exciting division, either, and has been aimless since finally falling from the top at SummerSlam last year, not giving back what she took.

Let's not even get started on the mess with the newly-introduced Women's Tag Team Titles. The result is a thoroughly unexciting division as we get deep into 2019, with apathy fast setting in. Most of it was buried for two people, and those two people are now stale. All this after an unnecessary, unexciting WrestleMania angle that was a proven ratings killer.

The women had the potential for great growth beginning in 2015, but WWE has, with rapid speed, normalized them, making them just as stale as the rest of the product, even now, at a time when the division should be hitting new heights.

Now that the company's ability to gain friendly PR with them has seemed to run out, it appears they've gone back to not caring at all, so why should we? It's a microcosm of everything that's gone wrong in these two lost decades.
