00:58Welcome, everyone, to WWE's Greatest Moments.
01:06I'm Michael Cole.
01:07And on this edition, we're taking you back
01:09to some of the pivotal moments of the women's evolution.
01:12When talking about pioneers in the women's division,
01:15the top of that list includes WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus.
01:19Trish has entertained audiences worldwide
01:21for a quarter of a century now
01:23and certainly carved a path for future generations to prosper.
01:27Without me, there would be no women's revolution.
01:31And I'm here to make sure none of you forget it.
01:36Stomping down that paved path was none other than the main Becky Lynch.
01:41Over the years, Becky has carved out an impressive legacy of her own.
01:45At one stage, Trish, you were number one in this business.
01:50But I, I've been able to have a career that you could only dream of.
01:54So what happens when past meets present in a dreaded steel cage match?
02:02In the history of the women's evolution, Trish walked so Becky could run.
02:07We wanted to go in there, change the game, and dare I say, we stole that show.
02:12This cage will tear your flesh.
02:16Knowing we've told this story for so long, this has to pay off big.
02:19Like, we knew that it needed to end up in a cage.
02:22And Lynch is just going wild.
02:25Trish was almost like taking up arms for her generation,
02:29showing that they could be just as good.
02:31And on that night, they were.
02:34Though Trish is one of the greatest of all time,
02:37her generation ain't Becky.
02:39And wanted the crowd to care as much as they possibly could.
02:44And they did.
02:47Not from up there! Superplex!
02:55That was one of those groundbreaking matches
02:57because it really cemented what we could do, given time.
03:03Manhandle slam!
03:04What a match!
03:08After that match, it was such a great milestone in my career,
03:11and I think I could have been pretty satisfied
03:13to have left that as my last ever match,
03:15especially with someone like Becky Lynch.
03:17That match is in the running for match of the year!
03:24In 2018, WWE held its first show in the country of Saudi Arabia.
03:29And the traditional values of the country
03:31did not allow the women to compete.
03:33But WWE has always been at the forefront
03:36of making positive and influential changes in the world,
03:39and just 18 months later, it did just that.
03:43One day before Crown Jewel 2019,
03:45it was announced that for the first time ever,
03:48the country of Saudi Arabia
03:49would see women competing in a match.
03:53Sitting at ringside, it was a moment I will never forget.
03:57Lacey Evans took on Natalya
03:58in one of the most important matches in women's history.
04:02Since I heard the news, I haven't even, like, had a sip of water.
04:08I've just been, like, so excited.
04:11Have fun, ladies.
04:12Thank you so much.
04:13I can't even imagine the amount of butterflies that Lacey and Natalya had to deal with
04:23before that match.
04:25We were breaking barriers.
04:28Ladies and gentlemen, you cannot overstate the importance of this matchup here tonight.
04:32It is the first time there has ever been a women's match in Saudi Arabia.
04:38I was just very excited to see that there was lots of little girls and women
04:42who were looking at those two in the ring,
04:45changing the way that people view women's wrestling.
04:48Wow.
04:49Great impact.
04:51Off the top rope, both solved.
04:52Connecting.
04:53To see women competing in a WWE ring, that opened up a whole new spectrum of dreams
05:00for a lot of little girls who may have never in a million years thought it was possible.
05:06Natalya with Lacey in the sharpshooter.
05:08Is she going to tap?
05:09She does.
05:10Natalya makes history.
05:11I felt like it was everything I'd ever worked for, like just coming full circle.
05:15To be able to say that I'm part of the first ever women's match in Saudi Arabia.
05:19It was very powerful.
05:20It was a very surreal evening.
05:22The women's evolution takes another step tonight.
05:31In 1987, one of professional wrestling's most innovative concepts was born.
05:35War games.
05:36Two rings covered by a steel cage.
05:39How some of the most brutal battles in history.
05:41Two teams fought for survival.
05:44In 2019, it was the women's turn to go to war.
05:51Like Chuck D said, welcome to the Terror Dome.
05:57NXT TakeOver War Games.
06:00It was like a game changer.
06:01It brought more eyes to NXT.
06:04The ultra right now!
06:06No!
06:07No!
06:08I'm not there!
06:10Come on!
06:11I love intense matches where you just legit go out there, strong style it through, and just beat each other up.
06:23Oh my God!
06:25Oh, Ripley looking for the riptide!
06:28Riptide onto the chairs!
06:30Ripley with the cover!
06:33Ripley wins!
06:36The match was surprising.
06:38It was exciting.
06:40And they thought it was like history making.
06:43Hats off to every single one of these women!
06:47In 2002, WWE introduced a new concept.
06:55The mnemonic structure known as the Elimination Chamber.
06:58With over 10 tons of steel, the chamber was as unforgiving as it was ominous.
07:05This match shortened careers and provided too many injuries to count.
07:09For the men.
07:10For the men.
07:11However, 2018, 16 years after its menacing debut, the women of WWE were finally getting their opportunity to feel the wrath inside this dreaded structure.
07:24So it'll be Bayley and Sonya Deville starting things off every five minutes.
07:31A pod will open and another superstar will enter this match.
07:34This was a very important moment in the women's evolution.
07:40Bayley top off!
07:41Oh!
07:41To Sonya!
07:42First ever women's Elimination Chamber.
07:45Six women locked inside this cage.
07:47This is home territory for me.
07:49Oh!
07:50Deville!
07:51There's a lot of competitiveness and we all want to be the best and we all want to be at the top.
07:56When I saw these women coming to compete and leaving their heart and soul out in the middle of that ring, it blew me away.
08:07Tap out!
08:08Oh, Mandy Rose, the first woman eliminated.
08:10It's Mickie James takes down Deville.
08:13Here's the cover.
08:14Hooks the leg.
08:15Deville eliminated.
08:17My first Elimination Chamber match, it was very intimidating, but I knew that we were in that position because we deserved to be.
08:24Oh, my God!
08:24Twisted Bliss from the top of the pod!
08:28Alexa Bliss, though.
08:29Roland Bayley up, shoulders down.
08:31And we're down to two.
08:33I feel like the match couldn't have gone any better.
08:37Oh!
08:37Face first!
08:38Cover by Bliss!
08:40On base!
08:44Congratulations, Alexa!
08:46It's been a very long journey for the world's evolution and a very proud journey.
08:51Every time we've been given an opportunity to deliver, I think our women over-deliver.
08:54This is about every little girl and woman at home in the audience who have ever dreamed big.
09:01For the better part of four decades, WWE has been crowning its king of the ring with a superstar who conquers his way to a grueling tournament.
09:18Finally, in 2021, it was time to crown the inaugural Queen's Crown Tournament was set as eight of the top female superstars competed for the chance to wear the crown.
09:33With the finals taking place as crown jeweled, it came down to Zelina Vega, Piper Niven, then known as Doudrop, in this much-anticipated contest.
09:45This is going to be massive.
09:47We will crown the winner of the first-ever Queen's Crown Tournament.
09:52Once I actually walked into the ring and stood across from her, I remember thinking, oh, I'm going to soak every bit of this up.
10:02Doudrop looks to use her power and Zelina Vega, her speed.
10:06Zelina not going to want to rely on power.
10:08The size differential is going to be too much for Zelina to overcome.
10:11We have a classic David Goliath story.
10:14Around and around we go!
10:16Great move by Vega!
10:18What an opportunity that is upon us right here.
10:21Zelina may have her where she wants her!
10:23Zelina declaring this one's just about over.
10:25Oh, wait a second!
10:27Sidewalk slam!
10:29Went for a big splash, Vega.
10:31Moved out of harm's way.
10:35Are you kidding me?
10:37A cold red!
10:38Zelina Vega's the Queen!
10:40To see all of the men in the crowd bowing down to me, my God, there's nothing like it.
10:47First ever Queen's Crown Tournament.
10:51It'll be talked about forever!
10:54We talk about women being inspired.
10:57There are little girls out there that are watching Zelina, and they're saying, wait, maybe I can.
11:04Defying the odds, Queen Zelina!
11:07The long and storied history of women's wrestling has had a lot of chapters written that gets us to the present.
11:17In 2016, the female competitors were leaping out of an era that once defied them as divas.
11:23I think we're seeing the greatest era of the women's division in history.
11:27The center of this movement were three standout performers, Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch.
11:36The trio were set to face off in a triple threat match in front of the largest attendants in WrestleMania history for Charlotte's Divas Championship.
11:44But an announcement was made by Hall of Famer Lita earlier in the night that changed all that.
11:49The winner of the triple threat will be the recipient of the first ever WWE Women's Championship.
12:03WrestleMania 32 was the most high-profile women's match at that point in time.
12:10This is for the WWE Women's Championship.
12:13It was just such a powerful statement.
12:17We were looking at legitimate female athletes that could steal the show.
12:22Frog Splash!
12:23Moonsault by Charlotte!
12:26She did that moonsault that I want dying.
12:29I never saw her do it.
12:31Woo!
12:33Ric Flair's been taken up!
12:35I feel like I remember going, this match is awesome.
12:39The crowd is loving it.
12:41I'm loving it.
12:42Everybody's having a good time.
12:43Becky Lynch takes the bullfoul!
12:47Figure eight!
12:49Becky tapped out!
12:51Charlotte is now the women's champion!
12:53She was ready to take the reins and usher in this new era of performance.
12:58The celebration of a new era in WWE!
13:05Debuting in 1988, the Royal Rumble has become the most exciting event on the WWE calendar.
13:1130 superstars compete for the opportunity to headline on the biggest stage possible.
13:17WrestleMania.
13:18As the women's roster grew and features some of the fierce competitors that it had ever seen,
13:24Stephanie McMahon finally made an announcement that was long-awaited.
13:29We will have, for the very first time, an all-women's Royal Rumble match!
13:35Up next is history.
13:40For the first time ever, 30 women will compete in a Royal Rumble match.
13:44These women have been working for this kind of recognition, for this moment, for this opportunity, I mean, just to give them a chance.
13:53I was on a whole nother level. I was trying to keep back. So much excitement.
13:57We got to see the amazing women that we have now mix it up with the greats of the past.
14:03And Michelle McCool! There goes Liv Morgan!
14:06Beth Phoenix with Nia up on her shoulders!
14:09Got the coveted spot of number 30, which was awesome.
14:12Perhaps the greatest of all time!
14:15All 30 women in this match were rallying behind one another, and we wanted this match to go off perfect.
14:24We're down to Asuka. Nikki Bella.
14:28Asuka is a history maker!
14:32What an incredible night! What an incredible match!
14:37First-ever Women's Royal Rumble.
14:40First-ever Women's Money in the Bank.
14:43First-ever Women's Hell in a Cell.
14:46What else could we possibly do to top all that?
14:49Well, the most powerful woman, WWE Stephanie McMahon found a way out.
14:54Over 50 women, then, now, and forever, will participate in an event called Evolution.
15:02The first-ever All-Women's Pay-Per-View!
15:07It is history in the making from Nassau Coliseum, Evolution!
15:16I remember seeing the news that there was going to be the first-ever All-Women's Pay-Per-View, and I was like, oh my God, we've done it.
15:22First-ever All-Women's Pay-Per-View event.
15:25Classic Trish Stratus, the Stratus faction.
15:29I was just happy to see the event be successful. I was happy to see every single match just surpass expectations.
15:38I mean, the whole card just blew everyone away. And I'm incredibly proud for being part of it.
15:44What an ovation for the baddest woman on the planet!
15:48Arbar! Nowhere for Nikki to go! She taps out!
15:54It speaks to where the world is at. It's nice to see women on the same playing ground as it should be.
16:02You know what? I think this is a huge victory, not just for me, but I really feel like we're finally on the road to getting the respect that we've always deserved.
16:10What a night it's been! An historic night at WWE Evolution!
16:17In 2015, the biggest talk of the wrestling world was NXT.
16:25Once considered to be WWE's developmental brand, grew into its own identity, and fans couldn't get enough.
16:32At the forefront of this NXT movement were NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks and Bayley.
16:39Bayley's story was simple. The underdog, who everyone said couldn't win the big one.
16:44In front of the largest NXT crowd at the time, there was no better place for the hugger to prove her doubters wrong.
16:55Nearly 16,000 rapid NXT fans have packed the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
17:01Now it is all about the NXT Women's Championship.
17:05I think that match was very eye-opening for the WWE Universe.
17:12It wasn't just two friends trying to see who was better. It was war.
17:17There's only so many times you can take being mislabeled and misjudged and believe me, Bayley's had enough.
17:23I just got to show everybody that I can be this different side and I was taking myself seriously.
17:28Seeing these two women go at it just gave the rest of us so much hunger to want to do the same.
17:40No, no, she rolled.
17:42Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
17:44Reversal! Reversal!
17:46How did she do that?
17:47Bayley reversed it!
17:48She reversed Sasha's own moves!
17:50Here we go!
17:52Bayley! Bayley to Bayley! Bayley to Bayley for the title!
17:59Bayley has done it!
18:01We wanted to be there, you know, and we wanted to show them that we were good enough to be there.
18:06And I think the fans that night, they were so happy for us.
18:10Bayley's your new NXT Women's Champion!
18:18What we saw Sasha and Bayley do set the tone for women's wrestling for years to come.
18:25We have now reached our history-making number one moment.
18:36For years, the women of WWE had wanted one thing.
18:40Respect.
18:41Each and every woman that competed in that squared circle desired an opportunity to prove that they not only belonged,
18:47but belonged in the main event.
18:55Three of the top superstars in all of WWE with both championships on the line.
19:02Main event in WrestleMania is the dream.
19:04It is the goal of every single red-blooded wrestler.
19:09And Becky right to Rousey!
19:10Oh, my God!
19:11I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
19:13I told you!
19:15I said I was gonna main event, and I did it.
19:17And that's a full circle moment.
19:18Oh, my God!
19:20What?
19:21Charlie driven through the table!
19:22Rousey is about to take it all!
19:26Piper's pit!
19:27Becky!
19:28Shoulders down!
19:29She did it!
19:31Becky Lynch!
19:32Becky Lynch is the winner take all!
19:38And is both RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion!
19:47I think more than any of our individual accomplishments, we will all be remembered for the role that we played in this moment of time.
19:56It's to leave us a compassion.
19:58When you get presented with an opportunity, you have to take the ball and run with it and hit a home run.
20:03And I think that's what those girls did.
20:05There was never gonna be another first.
20:07There was never going to be another time when Becky Lynch was ending WrestleMania walking out with two championships with her father sitting in the front row.
20:17And I wanted to make sure that I really enjoyed it.
20:20It's so overwhelming.
20:21Like, what a feeling!
20:23Becky Lynch takes it all tonight!
20:26The women of WWE have all something to be proud of.
20:34We've all laid the groundwork for future generations to aspire to be anything they want, and have been inspirations for millions.
20:41Well, that'll do it for this edition of WWE's Greatest Moments.
20:45I hope you've enjoyed this look back for defining moments of what we proudly call the Women's Evolution.
20:51EVOLUTION
