It's one thing to steal the show in NXT, but the WWE needs to give Sasha Banks and Bayley a chance to put women's wrestling on the map at WrestleMania.
For the second straight NXT special event, "The Boss" and the reigning NXT Women's Champion continued to raise the bar in the Divas Revolution. First, Bayley and Banks had a five-star classic and Match of Year candidate at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn in the Barclays Center in August. Then, they were the main event at NXT Takeover: Respect on Wednesday.

The first match's impact on women's wrestling was twofold. For one, it was the culmination of a great storyline that consisted of Bayley chasing the title and failing time after time to usurp Banks as the title-holder. Secondly, it was an amazing match with a beautiful story told in the ring, which not only established Bayley as NXT's newest huge star, but showed that Banks is the next top Diva in the making on the main roster.
The bout was so good, that the creative team had enough confidence to book the ladies in the main event of NXT: Respect and up the ante by putting them in the first ever Iron Woman Match. Much like the clash that preceded it, the battle between these athletic ladies Wednesday night in Florida was an absolute classic, with Bayley winning 3-2 in the final minutes after a tremendous back-and-forth match.

The bout was so good, in fact, that it should earn the ladies a position on the WrestleMania card.
Though Banks and Bayley will be separated for a while and the latter will likely be in NXT for a while, the WWE needs to consider calling her up and giving them a half hour at WrestleMania 32, which emanates live from AT&T Stadium in Texas on April 3, 2016.
For years, the Divas have been plopped together in meaningless matches at the "Show of Shows," and that needs to change.
The WWE can show it's serious about a Divas Revolution by putting two of its best workers, who already have a tremendous storyline, on full display at the biggest event of the year. Though the feud started in NXT and some viewers may not watch the program, the WWE always puts together tremendous video packages to share stories and the two have generated enough buzz already that most people know about their impact.
Bayley and Banks have already started to revolutionize the division, now the WWE needs to let them seal the deal on its grandest stage.
