While the Women's Evolution in WWE has certainly been thrilling, it took its cues from the independent circuit.

Becky Lynch signed with Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling, who were just starting a women's division called Supergirls.

She would end up losing the title to Lisa Moretti and then turned her attention to other international promotions. Still, to be elevated to a champion at such a young age is a rare feat indeed.
