Eh...it's a different scale.
Yeah more people were watching back then but most of the women weren't the focal point of the show or hell, most people didn't care about their segments. We had short women's matches and we had the whole "Divas" thing around then. AJ Lee was the one to break out and stake her claim and not only become the focal point of that entire division but she was doing angles with men and she had influence to a degree. She was very popular.
These days there's less people watching but the women are actually loved more by the majority of the audience and are seen as equal to the men. They get longer matches and there's been multiple angles, segments, shows, ppvs now and hell, we've had months dedicated to their rise. They're on top right now and at the top of that these days is Becky. She's the most popular one and she's being endorsed as THE STAR. Not just the star of the women but THE MAN. She was given the torch by Cena.
Becky's the winner here.

Yeah it’s Becky. AJ was definitely farther above any woman in her prime than Becky was, but Becky got over by herself while AJ latched off of Bryan’s and Punk’s popularity.

On the flip side, AJ never once got to wrestle in the type of matches that women now do. She lobbied for a Hell in a Cell match and was refused. There was a limit on AJ, and other women, that has largely lifted. That’s the difference.

definitely Becky she’s the most over person on the entire roster and its based on her being an awesome wrestler,promo and character meanwhile AJ was really over and in her biggest year 2012 it was all based on sex she was playing a young teenage girl who had never had a boyfriend(seeing they retconned the primo & hornswoggle stuff for NXT) and Daniel Bryan broke her heart so she decided to act all horny,hump and makeout with a bunch of guys then when they went away from that and made her a GM she was way less over.

In fairness to AJ, while I don't remember being huge into her, I always thought she was a pretty good wrestler in her own right. Her matches with Kaitlyn showed that. The promos I could take or leave, though.

The promos I could take or leave, though. AJ was pretty decent in the ring and i remember enjoying their ppv match but in 2012 she wasn’t being pushed much as a wrestler it was total sex and that’s when she was the most over and she was all over those shows fooling around with all the guys in the wwe title picture then when the GM angle cooled her off they went right back to the sex stuff with Cena & Ziggler.When they went away from the sex stuff again and made her just a wrestler she was treated as the top woman in the division but it wasn’t pushed as a big deal it was mostly filler stuff.
