I was just thinking about people always say that years of the WWE telling the viewers that the women are useless means that the fans won't sit through a 15 minute womens match, even if it is as good as Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks, so I have an idea that I think will work. What if they paired the women with male wrestlers that the fans do like? I mean nobody would treat say a Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose match as a piss break, so what if we got a 20 minute Dean Ambrose & Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks & Seth Rollins match main event Raw?
Then after the inevitable "this is awesome, this is wrestling" chants the fans would surely react like "wow, these women really can wrestle, maybe next week I will pay attention to them." Then you could have Becky Lynch vs Sasha 1 on 1 on Raw before slowly introducing Bayley & Charlotte etc to the mix.
They've tried to pair women with the men before but in really awful ways like Emma/Santino, but I think a couple of mixed tag matches were the women were treated as equals (without having man vs women interactions) would make the fans quickly pay attention to their matches and hopefully use the 25 minute HHH promo as a piss break instead.

They have moments of doing that. AJ Lee and Eve got to be in a few main events that way.
But this is WWE. They don't like pushing women as wrestlers. It's a good idea though.

That's part of the reason why Trish and Lita were so popular.
They were in mixed/intergender tags with a who's who of wrestling legends.

The time has passed, but there was a time when I was interested in seeing a mixed tag between the Authority and Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella.

I want to see a mixed tag team tournament in which the winning team gets a World Heavyweight Title/Divas' Title shot respectively.
Swerve! The man gets the Divas' Title shot and the chick gets the World Heavyweight Title match. And she gets called fat during the angle because it's a "Heavyweight" title!
