Several members of the women's locker room remain unhappy at lack of chances in AEW.

Several members of the AEW women's division have expressed their frustration over a lack of chances to really show what they can do. This is a recurring problem with bloated rosters - Tony Khan only has so much TV time to work with, and it'd be impossible to squeeze absolutely everyone onto episodes of Dynamite and Collision every single week.

ROH helps there, obviously, but chances are also fairly limited outside the core All Elite product.

On Wednesday's edition of Dynamite, Kris Statlander teamed with Darby Allin to take on Death Riders duo Jon Moxley and Maria Shafir in a mixed tag-team main event. After watching it, Queen Aminata posted on X to say she'd love to be involved in matches just like it at some stage. Going further, Aminata said: "I need more promo time".

Chiming in, Deonna Purrazzo stopped by to say: "Sign me up too...".

Queen Aminata appeared as part of a 'Tailgate Brawl' on an episode of Collision that aired directly before the All Out PPV in late-September. There, she teamed with Harley Cameron, Willow Nightingale and Mina Shirakawa against Megan Bayne, Penelope Ford, Julia Hart and Skye Blue.

It seems Aminata wants bigger opportunities to shine though, and she's specifically pointed to a lack of mic time as a problem.

Meanwhile, Deonna Purrazzo hasn't wrestled on mainline AEW television since losing to Cameron on the 26 February episode of Dynamite. She's been outspoken in the past about a lack of chances in the promotion, but boss Khan has always expressed his admiration for her in-ring work.

Is something bubbling to the surface here, or are these minor complaints? Only time will tell, but it doesn't look like all is well in the women's division. Aminata and Purrazzo feel they're being overlooked.
