WWE's Crystal Ball: 8 Predictions For Superstars In 2016
3. Womens Wrestling Rules
The era of Womens Wrestling kicked off officially at WrestleMania 32, and it was inarguably the best thing to come out of the event, considering the storylines for the two main events went nowhere. Fans were clamoring for Bayleys WWE debut the night after the big event on Monday Night RAW, even hijacking the segment with Charlotte in the ring. Lets face it, the time was not right for Bayley to come into the company following that fantastic Triple Threat, where all three competitors (and a resurgence from Natalya, who deserves the opportunity as the first wrestling Diva in the company) have earned the spotlight following their breakthrough.
Bayley is great, that is something we can all agree on. But as of right now, it is unlikely we will receive numerous Womens matches on any given WWE Network special, so too much of a good thing can ultimately be a bad thing. Id rather see Bayley regale us with meaningful stories in the main event of NXT special events than see her relegate so many of the other talented ladies to the backburner on the main roster. All things in time, and we need to exercise a little patience.
Given the traction that the Womens Wrestling movement has picked up among smart fans, it wouldnt be entirely implausible to see the competitors headline a former-pay-per-view card at some point in 2016. Still, it is an uphill climb; they will have to plan ahead and see the women headline an event in a city that will accept them, such as Orlando, Chicago, New York, or another major market. If they attempt to do such a thing in the Southern United States, they could destroy any progress theyve made due to a despondentor even exitingcrowd that is simply too stubborn or misogynistic to accept this huge breakthrough for women in sports entertainment.
