What started as a Divas Revolution may have turned into a full-scale revolt against the fans.
The WWE wrapped up three straight nights at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn with RAW Monday night, but The Bella Twins and Paige didn't appear to leave The Big Apple in a joyous mood.

The WWE Divas had plenty of time to shine with NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, SummerSlam and RAW featuring Divas matches on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, but the crowd on the WWE's flagship show drew the ire of some of the ladies.
Sasha Banks dropped the NXT Women's Championship to Bayley in front of a hot crowd at Takeover, in what will go down as one of the best matches of the year. When Team B.A.D., Team Bella and Team PCB mixed it up the next night at SummerSlam in the exact same venue, they didn't quite get the same reaction.

The fans were even colder toward the women when Team Bella went head-to-head with Team P.C.B. on Monday night and Alicia Fox got the pin for the heels. The WWE Universe was quiet during the match and then began chanting for other things in the middle of it, much to the chagrin of the ladies laying it all out there.
Brie Bella appeared to be the person who was upset the most by the vocal rudeness, telling the Brooklyn crowd to "kiss my ass" on Instagram. She also wrote the same thing on Twitter, which was re-tweeted by Fox, who wrote, "PREACH GIRL."

Paige also appeared to be agitated as the two-time Divas Champion tweeted about the crowd reaction, but quickly deleted it.
"You helped us create change and then did your best to disrespect," she wrote, according to Wrestlingheadlines.com. "Niceeeee jobbbbbbbb!"
WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella, who at 275 days is the second-longest reigning title-holder in company history, also took to Instagram to voice her displeasure:
Where's my shorts?! Haha #TeamBella rises! Oh and WWE Brooklyn shame on you for disrespecting women that put their bodies on the line for your entertainment. As for the ones that supported us, THANK YOU! You make it worth working so hard and having this revolution! #FearlessNikki #BellaArmy #TeamBella #BrieMode #FoxyBella #DivasRevolution A photo posted by Nikki Bella (@thenikkibella) on Aug 24, 2015 at 7:49pm PDT
The WWE has tried to revamp the Divas division by adding an influx of talent and giving them more time to work in an attempt to improve things. The additions of Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Banks spiced things up, but the lack of a true direction has led to some members of the WWE Universe losing patience.
For example, Banks vs. Bayley was the culmination of an underdog storyline where the nice girl finally had her day while the main roster Divas are mostly thrown into multi-women matches with no direction.
This week, the revolution took a hit.
