The Four Horsewomen of WWE--Bayley, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch.

#5 The Empress of Tomorrow's winning streak

Back when WWE first announced that they had signed legendary Japanese women's wrestler Kana, the internet scratched their heads in confusion. After all, she mainly put her mark on the pro wrestling world with her in ring ability, long considered secondary to looks in the WWE's women's wrestlers.

Previous champions had included 'talent' such as the Kat, untrained wrestler Sable, and even Vickie Guerrero. Would Asuka be able to stand out in the WWE given her limited command of the English language?

The answer was a resounding yes. Not only did Asuka do well in the WWE, she thrived. Her winning streak at 914 days stands as a company record, not to mention her marathon 514 day title reign is the longest in recent memory.

When WWE signed Asuka, they were announcing that they intended to take women's wrestling seriously, an attitude that was long overdue.
