#2 Becky Lynch
Before SummerSlam, WWE's women's division was in a dire state. Becky Lynch grabbed that bull by the horns and almost single handedly turned not only her career around, but indeed shifted the course of the entire women's division, delivering the promises we were given in 2015. The Divas were finally sent to the back of the line and the "women's revolution" was in the ascendancy again.

Her fantastic feud with Charlotte Flair culminated in one of the best women's matches in WWE history at Evolution. A week from now, she'll take center stage in a true dream match at TLC opposite Flair and Asuka.
Becky Lynch was an afterthought at the start of the year. At the end of it, she's entrenched herself at the very heart of the women's division and become the hottest act in the company, to the extent that even WrestleMania plans have reportedly needed to change.
A renaissance year indeed.
