How about instead of focusing on another company's belt, they try and make their own one relevant. Maybe build up contenders on Dynamite? Just a thought Because it seems as though they can only focus on 1-2 women at a time in their division. Poor Hikaru Shida has barely, if at all been on Dynamite since losing the belt. And it’s not like she can’t wrestle, since she’s announced for Dark 100.

At least potentially they can move some lower card Dynamite matches to Rampage and let the girls compete more. One way or the other would help the girls so I hope it happens.

You have the likes of Riho, Tay and Serena before she was injured too. And I have huge doubts Rampage will fix this either but we'll see I suppose

Just a thought Because Baker/Rosa is the clear plan for All Out. The NWA Womens title gives everyone else something to do. If Hirsch wins the belt it puts her on the map. You could easily build up women for Britt's next opponent tho. It wouldn't take that much effort. Or give them actual storylines.

See, I get the concern but on the other hand, I think this is a good opportunity to expand the brand and the partnerships by having talent be open to be featured on a potentially packed Empowerrr show that so far has the Impact Women’s Champion as a headliner.You put in an NWA title match with Layla Hirsh where she potentially wins and goes on a streak on NWA TV and AEW shows? Two birds with one stone. It’s not the greatest scenario but I see the logic. You say that like it's a bad thing. Should clarify, it’s not. In fact, it’s a great thing. Like a “Hey, get as much talent from across wrestling as possible” sort of thing. EDIT: Also, last time I saw the ticket sales on WrestleTix, it's already sold out 65% of allocated seats so it's certainly working.

I don't get it either. Not that there's been a report of that, but that's the impression I get from the way she's been used since losing the title.

No problem, I could have worded it better. Basically, it'd be weird if Impact was the only rep for the show when you've regularly had the NWA women's title on the show, is what I'm saying.

Kris Statlander got an awesome video package this week. Good to see they're putting the girls over more when it comes to the personality and gimmick. Plus giving her some promo time to put herself and The Best Friends over.
ore importantly? Eddie Kingston SHINED tonight in putting Statlander over. Called her a future women's champion. Said Big Bang Theory was "One of the most dangerous moves in all of professional wrestling". If it were up to me Eddie would call every Women's Match from now on lol.
Hopefully when Rampage comes along the girls continue to get more time. Tonight was a very nice step in the right direction though.

I mean, Brandi presumably is enjoying her life as much as she can with an infant. But it does have to sting that Awesome Kong's retirement tour ended up like it did and then they cancelled GLOW.
But are you doubting the Original Death Dealer, and Japanese Deathmatch Legend, Doctor Luther.

Luther and Serpentico are genuinely one of my favourite teams in the tag division which I honestly didn’t expect when he first came in.

Snakeman's rise to television goon has been a wonderful and beautiful thing.

Snakeman's rise to television goon has been a wonderful and beautiful thing. Some of the best current body language in wrestling. When your whole face and sometimes even eyes are covered you have to emote a lot with your mannerisms... and he's really good at it. Whether it's selling someone elses stuff or his own partner using him as a weapon
