We’re currently on the road to WrestleMania and everyone knows that WrestleMania is the biggest show of the year. The card has been coming together over the last few weeks, it sounds like there’s some frustration in the WWE women’s division as we get closer to the Show of Shows.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful recently discussed the current state of the women’s division on The Hump, and it was noted that there are plenty of women who are frustrated about the booking in the women’s division. It’s also being said that some WrestleMania pitches have been rejected because people don’t want to be in token tag team matches.
“Somebody asked about women’s booking and I said, yes, I have spoken with plenty of women in WWE who are frustrated about the booking of the women. This is not a new thing. It’s nowhere near Royal Rumble 2022-level…but there has been a situation where a women’s WWE performer has reached out to me and said, ‘Dude, can you find out if I’m listed internally as a heel or babyface?’ And I’m like, ‘Damn, okay.’ I know there have been some Mania pitches that have been rejected because people are like token tag matches aren’t something that they want to do.”
“They want things put on a more even plane in the women’s division. The contracts are going up, viewership is adjusted accordingly for when women are on-screen, it’s not the sideshow or anything like that, it’s a part of the show. You’re adding more titles, add more matches, all that stuff. There’s a lot of people that have been parked. For example, I’m not going to say Natalya is frustrated, they signed Natalya, they wanted to keep Natalya, they had creative plans for Natalya. And then what’s Natalya done since then? Hasn’t done anything, hasn’t been on NXT, hasn’t been doing anything.”
