For me it's a yes! Many great talents and matches after that, even in stipulations like TLC or Hell In a Cell!

Definitely. It's made women's wrestling a focal point and one of the most interesting parts of the show for the last several years. Comparing it to how it was pre 2015 when it an afterthought and nobody cared I don't know you couldn't say it's been a success.

Anything is a success compared to how they treated the women back in the late 90's.

Imagine NXT and then the main roster without it over the past decade or so. So many of the best moments and matches have come from the women.

There’s way more work to do, but the lack of Harvey Wippleman in drag beating a bunch of random women in a fake snow pool match for the title is always a positive.

Hands down, yes.
Is there more to be done? You betcha. But Things are light years better than they were a decade ago

I was watching Raws from 2010 (the first year I watched regularly) and I have to say: unequivocally, yes.

Absolutely yes.
However, the key to improvement is to keep striving to be better.

What's up with the recent FAN polls with unanimous answers?
Of course its yes. Even if you hate women's wrestling, it's been a success.

In spite of recent attempts to undermine it by the likes of Vince McMahon and Johnny Ace, yes.
Fortunately, they're both gone and real progress can happen (and is happening) again.

A decade ago, they crammed the entire division into a single Kevin Rudolf performance.
To say we've come a long, long way since then is an understatement.

It's still a work in progress, but yes. They've made a lot of money on the women because they put any amount of actual effort into promoting them as a big deal.

Anything is a success compared to how they treated the women back in the late 90's. this. even when this current generation gets caught up in "lol Charlotte wins" it's still treated as a big deal and no one beads an eye when the ladies are a main event segment/match on tv or even a ppv. imagine saying that 15 years ago

Yes but it annoys me how the history of women's wrestling in WWE is presented in such a linear way. They had solid periods after the late 90s era where women were allowed to wrestle but they still couldn't help themselves and kept falling back to objectifying them. It's not a simple story at all.

They are finally at the point where they treat women's wrestling as a norm and no longer GROUNDBREAKING or HISTORIC or whatever new buzzword there is now... so yes.

Definitely, I remember when I was went to WWE shows 10 years ago so many fans would get up to use the toilet or get refreshments during the women's matches.
Now we are in a time where women are main eventing WrestleMania.

It's been a success but they need a bigger roster.
The fact that they have to throw together teams is embarrassing. They should have at least 10 Women's Tag Teams.

By every conceivable measure. My one pet peeve is having two world titles instead of a world and a midcard. There are clear tiers of top talent (Becky, Bianca, Ronda, Charlotte, Asuka) and clear mid-card talent. Alexa, Liv Morgan and Carmella would all have been better mid card title holders.
