Women's wrestling has been an arguable blindspot in the arrangement of ALL IN, but the timing of the show perhaps hasn't been ideal for those involved in selecting the best of what's left from the North American scene.

WWE hoovering up so much of the available talent thanks to their panicked flooding of the organisation with performers at every level has left Cody and The Young Bucks fortunate to still have such a strong crop of competitors. There's the lingering stench of the old Divas division about shoving Madison Rayne, Britt Baker, Chelsea Green and Tessa Blanchard in a nothing multi-woman match without a storyline, but the action is likely to be excellent if only due to the performers included.

The early doors announcement of Tessa Blanchard implies that all along she was the chosen starlet of this particular event. A neat second generation tie-in to Cody's NWA World Heavyweight Title arc provides the reason for the result too - in this era of two sets of Horsewomen, the daughter of an original Horseman might yet wish to stake a claim.

But what next? The Chicago locale has made promises about CM Punk the ALL IN crew can't actually keep, but former WWE Divas icon AJ Lee is just as close and potentially more attainable. If they need another star coming out of this match for whatever lies ahead, she represents an inch-perfect inclusion.
