10 WWE Decisions AEW SHOULD BE Scared Of
3. The Return Of The Four Horsewomen
...the originators of the most seismic philosophical shift of the decade.
Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Bayley and Charlotte Flair were celebrated for their exploits in NXT not just because they put on banger after banger on the black-and-gold brand but because the quality of their work forced the entire organisation to reappraise the value women brought to the overall output.
It had been a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to even achieve that, at that point.
The Divas division was in the bin as a revolution took shape at Full Sail University and there are certain parallels to be drawn between the main roster's current female output and its brighter near future with all four back at the helm.
Tag Team Titles earnestly introduced and given to Sasha and Bayley to establish were bantered clean off after a month and only now may recover thanks to Alexa Bliss' star power. 'The Man' made genuine history alongside 'The Queen' and 'The Baddest Woman On The Planet' in the main event of WrestleMania 35, but feuds with Lacey Evans and Natalya put her right back in openers (or, in the case of Extreme Rules, headliners that didn't belong near the top of any card).
Banks' return and the Clash booking of both belts teases the inherent possibility in the air between now and the new year. WWE have AEW beat for women's wrestling if all talents are used efficiently - here's to making the best of what they already own.
