WWF New Generation Vs WWE In 2020: Which Was Worse?

9. Women's Wrestling

Easy win for present day, though things aren't perfect below the surface. Sasha Banks Vs Bayley was the company's best end-to-end programme in years, and Asuka was arguably WWE's MVP in 2020, but the mid and lower card women are still batting back atrocious booking and half-baked feuds despite being infinitely more interesting than most of the men.

1995's offering isn't without merit, but it all reeks of opportunities being missed thanks to the boys club mentality that WWE themselves only really broke away from around 2015. League lynchpin Alundra Blayze had decent bouts with Bull Nakano and Bertha Faye, and a fleeting relationship with All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling in November might have eventually proffered a banger with Aja Kong had Vince McMahon not thrown the towel in on the entire division first.

The feelings were apparently mutual. In response to her release, Blayze infamously took advantage of the burgeoning television wrestling war and threw the WWE Women's Championship in in the bin on WCW Nitro. There are many 2020 titles figuratively in the trash, but the ones currently held by 'The Empress Of Tomorrow' and 'The Boss' are far from that.
