Welcome to another edition of WOMEN'S WRESTLING WEEKLY—a rundown of the events which have transpired in the world of women's professional wrestling over the past several days not just with the Superstars on WWE programming, but with Impact Wrestling's Knockouts, ROH's Women of Honor, and even a glimpse at the women on the independent circuit.
WWE Monday Night Raw
Bianca Belair vs Doudrop
This was a dull match that only served to set up an admittedly cool visual, as Bianca Belair delivered a KOD to Doudrop. Both women deserve much better.
Winner: Bianca Belair
Rating: 2/5
Rhea Ripley vs Queen Zelina
Squash City!
Winner: Rhea Ripley
Rating: 1.5/5
AEW Dark: Elevation
The Bunny, Emi Sakura, & Nyla Rose vs Jessica James, Gigi Rey, & Lady Bird Monroe
Squash City!
Winner: The Bunny, Emi Sakura, & Nyla Rose
Rating: 2/5
Red Velvet vs Madi Wrenkowski
Squash City!
Winner: Red Velvet
Rating: 2/5
Thunder Rosa vs Amber Rodriguez
Squash City!
Winner: Thunder Rosa
Rating: 2/5
WWE NXT 2.0
Raquel Gonzalez vs Dakota Kai
This was due to be a hard hitting contest with a litany of weapons. Unfortunately, it was anything but, becoming a poor bookend to what has been a solid feud. Dakota Kai winning is perhaps the right option, but this match had no sizzle at all.
Winner: Raquel Gonzalez
Rating: 2.5/5
Io Shirai vs Elektra Lopez
Squash City!
Winner: Io Shirai
Rating: 2/5
AEW Dark
Charlette Renegade vs Abadon
Squash City!
Winner: Abadon

Penelope Ford vs Willow Nightingale
Squash City! And Penelope Ford is showing real improvement since she first came to AEW.
Winner:
Rating: /5
Brandi Rhodes vs Robyn Renegade
Squash City!
Winner: Brandi Rhodes
Rating: 2/5
Kiera Hogan vs Shalonce Royal
Squash City!
Winner: Kiera Hogan
Rating: 2/5
Red Velvet vs La Rosa Negra
Squash City!
Winner: Red Velvet
Rating: 2/5
AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite
Ruby Soho vs Nyla Rose
A fair match for these two starlets, this was a solid, if not unspectacular contest.
Winner: Ruby Soho
Rating: 2.5/5
Impact Wrestling
There were no new Knockout's matches on Impact Wrestling this week.
WWE NXT UK
There were no new women's matches on NXT UK this week.
WWE Friday Night SmackDown
Charlotte Flair vs Toni Storm
Charlotte Flair vs Toni Storm was much better than I initially anticipated that it would be, with Flair seeming to elevate Storm closer to her level. The result was never really in doubt, but the match was entertaining enough to make up for this.
Winner: Charlotte Flair
Rating: 3/5
AEW Rampage
Kris Statlander vs Leyla Hirsch
This was a decent contest, but Leyla Hirsch feels as though she is unable to make an impact in the bigger matches.
Winner: Kris Statlander
Rating: 2.5/5
MATCH OF THE WEEK:
Charlotte Flair vs Toni Storm
Simply put, this match was better than expected.
WOMAN OF THE WEEK:
Becky Lynch
Her antics with Liv Morgan were some of the most memorable spots of the week.
