10 Signs WWE’s Women’s Revolution Is Dead

Starting fresh, without years of institutional rot to contend with, AEW should have been creating a womens’ division in its own All Elite image. Instead they fell into a lot of the same traps that have historically plagued their rivals.

Women are still getting the short end of the stick when it comes to storyline focus and TV time. Their matches given unenviable spots on the Pay Per Views. AEW have done a good job getting some of its female roster over with fans but even when women are raised up individually, they’re undermined by the presentation of the division as a whole.

Britt Baker is a star but a champion is only as good as her challengers. Most of Britt’s have felt like stop-gaps. Which Britt Baker feud can you point to that’s been handled with the care of Chris Jericho versus Cody Rhodes or Jon Moxley against Eddie Kingston? Let alone Kenny Omega and “Hangman” Adam Page.

Even her recent title match with nemesis Thunder Rosa was presented with an air of, “here, this is what you wanted,” coasting on the goodwill of their acclaimed Lights Out match.

For all WWE’s faults it’s still arguably the better bet for a woman looking for a successful career. It’s a long shot but you could end up in the Main Event of WrestleMania. Currently, the best the competition can offer is the p*ss break spot on AEW Revolution. So, sadly, WWE don’t need to try any harder.
