The Divas err ... Women's Revolution started one year ago when Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Sasha Banks made their main roster debuts.
While its debatable whether or not the WWE has done as good of a job as pushing the ladies of wrestling as they like to believe, there is no doubt that these three talents have had a very positive influence on the division. Wednesday marked one year since this trio of former NXT stars made the next big leap in their careers.
The WWE commemorated the anniversary of their debuts with a tweet on Wednesday and while all three women have had a chance to make an impact, they haven't all had equal success.

Here is our ranking of all three Superstars one year after their first appearance on the main roster.
3) Becky Lynch
No disrespect to the "Lass Kicker," but she has been the most underutilized of the three, even if it isn't totally her fault. Lynch has developed a nice following and is one of the best in-ring ladies on the roster, but she's been booked as a perpetual babyface that rarely gets a victory despite constantly being betrayed. The "Straight Fire" star is passionate on the microphone and could very well be the future of the industry, but she hasn't been utilized to her full potential in Year 1.

2) Sasha Banks
This site has constantly endorsed "The Boss" and though she's had a notable first year in the WWE, she hasn't stood out as much as she should. Banks shined at WrestleMania 32 in a Match of the Year candidate with Lynch and Charlotte, but she then was pulled out of the WWE storylines altogether until recently. Banks has the look, charisma, in-ring skill and character to carry the division for years to come. She's still young and the WWE has finally put her back into the Women's Championship conversation, so it seems she barely scratched the surface in Year 1 and will only breakout in Year 2. Banks hasn't been given the platform to thrive in the WWE like she did in NXT, but she is well on her way.

1) Charlotte
There's no denying that Charlotte was given the more favorable booking of the three and she's taken the ball and ran with it. Though her father, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, was likely the instrument behind some of her success, Charlotte is doing much better now that she's with Dana Brooke instead. The blonde star is one of the most athetically gifted Superstars on the roster. Charlotte has had a combined 297-day reign with the Divas and Women's Championships, so she's clearly had the best first year in the WWE out of the three.
