Women's Wrestling Weekly Recap & Review #379

Posted by Dallas Allsopp Monday, April 18, 2022

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

Naomi vs Liv Morgan

This contest was ludicrously paced, with both women being afforded less than two and a half minutes. What we received was good, but it would have been much better with about ten minutes of action.

Winner: Naomi

Rating: 2/5

Bianca Belair vs Queen Zelina

Squash City!

Winner: Bianca Belair

Rating: 2/5

AEW Dark: Elevation

Diamante vs Ashley D'Amboise

Squash City!

Winner: Diamante

Rating: 2/5

The Bunny, Emi Sakura, & LuFisto vs Ruby Soho, Anna Jay, & Skye Blue

Squash City!

Winner: Ruby Soho, Anna Jay, & Skye Blue

Rating: 2/5

WWE NXT 2.0

Mandy Rose vs Dakota Kai

Mandy Rose has been quite divisive as NXT Women's Champion, but she stepped up again to put on a fantastic bout. Dakota Kai worked hard to make Rose look great, finally falling to the overwhelming power that is Toxic Attraction.

Winner: Mandy Rose

Rating: 3.5/5

AEW Dark

Diamante vs Mylo

Squash City!

Winner: Diamante

Rating: 2/5

Emi Sakura vs Charlette Renegade

Squash City!

Winner: Emi Sakura

Rating: 2/5

AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite

Marina Shafir vs Skye Blue

Squash City!

Winner: Marina Shafir

Rating: 2/5

Impact Wrestling

Deonna Purrazzo vs Willow Nightingale

Deonna Purrazzo once again had an absolute banger, with Willow Nightingale putting in her best performance yet of 2022. Overall, this was a quality bout.

Winner: Deonna Purrazzo

Rating: 3.5/5

WWE NXT UK

Eliza Alexander vs Angel Hayze

A fair contest, but the real money was on Xia Brookside as Eliza Alexander's manager / partner.

Winner: Eliza Alexander

Rating: 2.5/5

WWE Friday Night SmackDown

Naomi vs Rhea Ripley

This was much better than the offering on Raw, but I still feel that they should have been given more time.

Winner: Rhea Ripley

Rating: 2/5

WWE NXT Level Up

Roxanne Perez vs Sloane Jacobs

Squash City!

Winner: Roxanne Perez

Rating: 2/5

Tatum Paxley vs Kiana James

Squash City!

Winner: Tatum Paxley

Rating: 2/5

AEW Rampage

Ruby Soho vs Robyn Renegade

Squash City! Although I do wish Ruby Soho won much quicker than she did.

Winner: Ruby Soho

Rating: 2/5

AEW Battle of the Belts 2

Thunder Rosa vs Nyla Rose

Nyla Rose never once felt like a viable threat to Thunder Rosa's fledgling reign as AEW Women's World Champion, but she at least gave it her all. Rosa was the wily and valiant face that was able to outsmart the bull in a china shop, which ultimately resulted in a fair and enjoyable contest.

Winner: Thunder Rosa

Rating: 3/5

MATCH OF THE WEEK:

Mandy Rose vs Dakota Kai

This was way better than it had any right to be.

WOMAN OF THE WEEK:

Thunder Rosa

The AEW Women's World Champion took another opportunity by the horns to underline her absolute talent.
