The 10 most important WWE matches of the 2010s

#8 Sasha Banks vs. Bayley (NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, 2015)

The revolution was here.

Despite what you hear in WWE these days, it wasn't an industry leader when it came to women's wrestling. Even up to 2015, the women's segments were sidelined. Remember #GiveDivasAChance that year?

The real work was going on in the "minor leagues" of NXT, with the four horsewomen of Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, and Bayley. The quartet was a central focus of the programming, bringing the standards in the company up.

It all culminated in the iconic match between Sasha Banks and Bayley in Brooklyn, which many still consider the greatest match in the history of NXT. Most thought that it should have been the main event that night, which is where the importance of this match lies.

This was the match that definitively proved that women could headline a major show. Sasha, Charlotte, and Becky would become full time main roster performers around that time. Bayley would follow a year later. With this match behind them, they could change the women's landscape on television forever, and they did.
