#2 Paige

Paige had one of the most memorable debuts in history, ending AJ Lee's then-record Divas Championship reign in her very first main roster appearance on the night after WrestleMania 30.

That's how you book a star.

Paige won the Divas Championship two times and became one of the most beloved women of the decade, the forerunner of the "revolution" that would take place about 15 months after her debut. Her rivalries with the likes of the Bellas and AJ Lee were actually far friendlier to ratings than Becky Lynch's story this year.

Unfortunately, injuries and personal problems cut Paige's time on top short. She was never able to reach her potential as a full-time competitor in the ring, but during her short run, she reinvigorated a struggling women's wrestling scene and made a bigger impact than any of the preceding women on the list. Paige was indeed the original "anti-diva," the pioneer in both NXT and on the main roster.
