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
Rhea Ripley vs Liv Morgan
Although not the barnstorming affair it could have been, this was at least a solid teaser of what is to come between these two enemies.
Winner: Rhea Ripley
Rating: 2.5/5
Alexa Bliss vs Sonya Deville
Alexa Bliss returned, but in the most underwhelming fashion possible. Sonya Deville means absolutely nothing at the moment.
Winner: Alexa Bliss
Rating: 1.5/5
Naomi & Sasha Banks vs Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H.
This was a fantastic tag team contest, with Naomi and Sasha Banks once more proving how valued they should be as the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. They are absolute stars who work well together, even elevating the impromptu pairing of Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H.
Winner: Naomi & Sasha Banks
Rating: 4/5
Bianca Belair vs Asuka
As a vehichle to move towards Becky Lynch vs Asuka, this was fine. But it does make Bianca Belair look somewhat stupid.
Winner: Bianca Belair
Rating: 2/5
AEW Dark: Elevation
Emi Sakura vs Abadon
Squash City!
Winner: Abadon
Rating: 2/5
WWE NXT 2.0
Toxic Attraction vs Roxanne Perez & Wendy Choo
No more than an average NXT 2.0 match, this was a poor effort by Toxic Attraction to look the dominant force we know they can be.
Winner: Toxic Attraction
Rating: 2.5/5
Fallon Henley vs Sloane Jacobs
Squash City!
Winner: Fallon Henley
Rating: 2/5
Alba Fyre vs Amari Miller
Squash City!
Winner: Alba Fyre
Rating: /5
Nikkita Lyons vs Arianna Grace
Squash City!
Winner: Nikkita Lyons
Rating: 2/5
Natalya vs Cora Jade
Natalya made Cora Jade here, giving her a Stone Cold at WrestleMania 13-esque moment. I enjoyed it, especially as Natalya looked strong for once.
Winner: Natalya
Rating: 3.5/5
AEW Dark
Abadon vs Vicky Dreamboat
Squash City!
Winner: Abadon
Rating: 2/5
Kiera Hogan vs Skye Blue
Squash City!
Winner: Kiera Hogan
Rating: 2/5
AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite
Toni Storm vs Jamie Hayter
Squash City!
Winner: Toni Storm
Rating: 2/5
Impact Wrestling
The Influence vs Alisha Edwards & Gisele Shaw
Very mediocre, which is a shame as The Influence are capable of much better.
Winner: The Influence
Rating: 2.5/5
WWE NXT UK
Ivy Nile vs Nina Samuels
Squash City!
Winner: Ivy Nile
Rating: 2/5
WWE Friday Night SmackDown
Ronda Rousey vs Raquel Rodriguez
Raquel Rodriguez stepped up to the plate in stunning fashion, and although she lost, she has made her name known on the blue brand.
Winner: Ronda Rousey
Rating: 2.5/5
Naomi & Sasha Banks vs Natalya & Shayna Baszler
Although not as strong as their Raw match, Naomi and Sasha Banks elevated yet another contest to interesting and entertaining levels.
Winner: Naomi & Sasha Banks
Rating: 3/5
WWE NXT Level Up
Thea Hail vs Elektra Lopez
Squash City!
Winner: Elektra Lopez
Rating: 2/5
AEW Rampage
Ruby Soho vs Riho
Despite not being a pure squash, this match was all about re-establishing Ruby Soho as a threat within AEW's women's division.
Winner: Ruby Soho
Rating: 3/5
