10 Best Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now

Here at WhatCulture we often get accused of being far too negative when it comes to wrestling.

It's an affliction which seems to be industry-wide, although in fairness WWE doesn't exactly help itself at times. Despite having five hours of television a week to promote it's main roster talent, alongside all their social media avenues and the WWE Network, the company regularly misses the mark or simply underwhelms it's fanbase.

There are those in this world who prefer to rant and rave about the business regardless of whether they've just seen an absolute botchfest or a genuine ***** classic, that is not our objective. Perhaps it's because we know what some are capable of - we're not angry, we're just disappointed.

Nevertheless, there are many things to be positive about when it comes to wrestling in 2018; from the inaugural all-women WWE pay-per-view to Zack Sabre Jr.'s general existence. Overall, the industry is in rude health too; British wrestling has had an incredible resurgence over the last few years and independent promotions like PWG and our very own Defiant Wrestling have never had it so good.

So let's go all Simon Miller and actually talk up the things that make being a wrestling fan so good right now...

The inaugural all-women WWE pay-per-view is just over a week away and is unquestionably one of the best things happening in wrestling for a variety of reasons.

An obvious place to start would be the platform it gives female performers in WWE, one which is richly deserved and long overdue. We've already seen the likes of Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks main event a PPV, this is simply the next logical step.

We've come a long way from the dark days of Divas, bra & panties matches and Trish Stratus being forced to bark like a dog by the owner of the company.

Evolution not only showcases the stellar roster of female talent at WWE's disposal in 2018, it also gives us some amazing matches too.

There's the highly-anticipated 2018 Mae Young Classic tournament final between Io Shirai and Toni Storm, legends Trish Stratus & Lita teaming up to take on Mickie James & Alexa Bliss in a tag match, and in the main event we have a RAW Women's Championship match between the longest-reigning Divas Champion in history and a megastar of the current women's division, former UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey.

Add to this one of the hottest feuds in WWE today and a re-match between Kairi Sane & Shayna Baszler for the NXT Women's Championship, and you've got arguably one of the most stacked WWE pay-per-views in 2018.

This is what the women's revolution was all about.
