Paige took to her official Twitter account to convey that change was coming to the division now that she has two other ladies in her corner:
I have my girls @MsCharlotteWWE and @BeckyLynchWWE now it's time to take over. Create change for the good. #FreaksAndGeeks @WWE — PAIGE (@RealPaigeWWE) July 14, 2015
Banks tweeted a picture of her along with her new allies, Naomi and Tamina:

According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, backstage reaction to the segment with the Divas was very positive and there was a feeling that the division turned a corner with the new angle.
Per the report, this angle was initially slated to occur around SummerSlam next month, but the WWE moved up to the angle partly due to the buzz of the U.S. Women's soccer team winning the World Cup and then having a parade in New York City last week.
The attention that the USWNT received led to the WWE moving up its plans.
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was in attendance for RAW in Atlanta this week to see his daughter Charlotte debut and it was said to be an emotional moment for him.
The Divas have preached changed over the course of 2015 and the roster got a major shakeup this week on the WWE's flagship show.
