WWE officials were said to be “absolutely thrilled” with how the NXT Divas segment came off on this week’s RAW from Atlanta, according to PWInsider. There was a feeling that WWE’s Divas division turned a corner with the angle.
WWE originally wanted to do this program closer to SummerSlam in August but the US Women’s national soccer team winning last week and all the attention they received led to WWE pushing the plans up to this week.
On a related note, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was at RAW to see Charlotte’s official main roster debut and it was said to have been an emotional moment for him.
– WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley and WWE NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks tweeted the following after the NXT Divas made their main roster debuts on tonight’s RAW:
