#6 AJ Lee

AJ Lee

AJ Lee was the PWI Woman of the year from 2012 to 2014. She is a 3x- Divas Champion. But, her legacy extends far beyond championships and accomplishments. She was at the forefront of the Women's Revolution, putting over the debuting Paige in an iconic moment at RAW after WrestleMania XXX, where she had defended the championship against 13-other divas.

Her gimmick, her antics, her stories and ultimately her success in WWE are defined by one adjective: Crazy. Lee came around at the time when WWE and the WWE Universe had stopped caring about women's wrestling. Lee became a catalyst in that change. The Women's Revolution would have been impossible if she didn't carry the division until Paige & Co. came around.

'The Boss' Sasha Banks' inaugural feud with Charlotte Flair set the WWE on fire and escalated the women's revolution to another level. She's a 4x Women's Champion. More recently, she (with Bayley) became the first WWE Women's Tag Team Champion.

We have already mentioned her TakeOver match with Bayley. Banks also fought Charlotte Flair in the first women's Hell in a Cell match in 2016, which was also the first time women were in the main event of a PPV. She lasted over 54 minutes in the first women's Royal Rumble match.

Banks has just started. She is a main event level star and one woman who can main event WrestleMania some day.

In conclusion, Sasha Banks' contribution to the Women's Revolution will live beyond us.
