TNA did it first, and even got it to work, and saw fit to let it evaporate. WWE is *very* late to the party, but eventually made it there. The ladies I mentioned and a couple of others are helping sway the public opinion of humans with vaginas who wrestle... much to the chagrin of people who assume untalented shitheads like Eva Marie deserve to be marketed as "main event" because of manufacured looks and acting like a bitch on a only marginally related sister show.

Charlotte/Sasha program in particular helped raise the bar, but this has been something slowly set in motion since AJ Lee was the queen without a kingdom.
