Since Paige claims WWE never held women back, here are some of the struggles the Divas went through back in the day:
Michelle McCool saying how she and Melina were yelled at backstage for being “better than the guys”
Michelle McCool and Victoria having to re-do their match because their punches looked too good
Melina and Ashley almost getting their WrestleMania match cut. Their match still didn’t get more than 3 minutes.
LayCool and Trish almost getting their WrestleMania match cut as well, and having to rush through it the last minute.
The Bella Twins and The Funkadactyls getting their WrestleMania match cut because The Undertaker and CM Punk match went overtime.
Torrie Wilson (and other women) begging to use weapons and get more physical but not being allowed to do it.
Nikki saying how her match with AJ, which was supposed to go for 15 minutes, got cut to 30 seconds, and how they killed her storyline with Brie without no explanation.
Michelle being forced to stop using her finisher (the one Mandy Rose uses now) because it was too “devastating for the girls”. 
Gail Kim saying how they had to get moves like Superplex approved, even on Superstars.
Trish Stratus losing her title because she wouldn’t kiss Torrie Wilson as she thought it didn’t fit her character.
Molly Holly suggesting to get her head shaved just so the WM card could have a Women’s title match.
And who can forget when they had 24 women, past and present, competing at WrestleMania, and decided to give a man the win just for because they thought it was funny.
And this is JUST scratching the surface, @RealPaigeWWE.
Victoria being told women weren’t allowed to bleed and that no one wanted to see it either. (credit to @nintendoboyDS)
Naomi being told she was too athletic and that she shouldn’t do high flying moves in order to not outshine the men.
A storyline where Michael Cole was interrupting and telling the Divas they’re bathroom breaks and that they don’t matter.
Since so many of y’all noticed it take a look at this thread too!
