Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are big supporters of changing the way women are featured on WWE TV. Part of this comes from Stephanie’s female influence as well as the fact that Ronda Rousey has become such a popular figure in the sports world (she just had a Sports Illustrated cover) is a box office attraction in the UFC and is landing movie roles.
Triple H and Stephanie aren’t UFC fans, but they are fans of Rousey and feel that her success signals a sign that times are changing. With that being the feeling, they want that change represented in the WWE Divas division.
While this vision is being pushed in NXT, Vince McMahon reportedly still sees women in the roles they currently take on in the Divas division and he controls the main WWE product.
