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
Becky Lynch vs Asuka
If Becky Lynch was able to defeat Becky Lynch here, she would be added to the WWE Raw Women's Championship match at Hell in a Cell, turning the contest into a Triple Threat. Both women worked well here, creating a compelling narrative that ensures the upcoming title match will be greatly anticipated. If only Lynch could change her style up again - her current gear is atrocious!
Winner: Asuka
Rating: 3.5/5
AEW Dark: Elevation

Tiffany Stratton vs Fallon Henley
Squash City!
Winner: Tiffany Stratton
Rating: 2/5
Mandy Rose vs Indi Hartwell
This really was a drawn out mediocre match, highlighting just how far Indi Hartwell's stock has fallen in NXT.
Winner: Mandy Rose
Rating: 2/5
AEW Dark
Kris Statlander vs Avery Breaux
Squash City!
Winner: Kris Statlander
Rating: 2/5
AQA vs Brittany Jade

Rating: 2/5
Leva Bates vs Kiah Dream
Squash City!
Winner: Leva Bates
Rating: 2/5
AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite
Britt Baker vs Toni Storm
I wasn't sure what to expect with this bout, as I feel Toni Storm is somewhat overrated. Much to my surprise, she contributed to a solid match which played to the strengths of both women. Britt Baker deservedly won, but Storm played her part here.
Winner: Britt Baker
Rating: 3.5/5
Impact Wrestling
Masha Slamovich vs Havok
Squash City!
Winner: Masha Slamovich
Rating: 2/5
Jordynne Grace vs Chelsea Green
This was poor. Chelsea Green continues to flounder on television, continuing to be a hindrance to her opponents. The match was slow, plodding, and not at all interesting.
Winner: Jordynne Grace
Rating: 2/5
WWE NXT UK
Lash Legend vs Emilia McKenzie
Squash City!
Winner: Lash Legend
Rating: 2/5
WWE Friday Night SmackDown
Ronda Rousey vs Raquel Rodriguez
This was not really much of a match as it led directly to a tag team match.
Winner: No Contest
Rating: 2/5
Ronda Rousey & Raquel Rodriguez vs Natalya & Shayna Baszler
I was disappointed to see both teams move with the vigour of a corpse. This was not fun at all.
Winner: Ronda Rousey & Raquel Rodriguez
Rating: 2/5
WWE NXT Level Up
Amari Miller vs Arianna Grace
Squash City!
Winner: Amari Miller
Rating: 2/5
AEW Rampage
Ruby Soho vs Kris Statlander
An average match, all things considered. Kris Statlander is in dire need of a character change.
Winner: Ruby Soho
Rating: 2.5/5
AEW Double or Nothing 2022
Jade Cargill vs Anna Jay
Anna Jay never once looked like winning, therefore That Bitch once again maintains her deserved stranglehold on the AEW TBS Championship.
Winner: Jade Cargill
Rating: 2.5/5
Britt Baker vs Ruby Soho
This match was good, but it felt like it could have stepped into a higher gear. Regardless, Britt Baker is a deserved winner of the tournament.
Winner: Britt Baker
Rating: 3/5
Thunder Rosa vs Serena Deeb
This was the match that Thunder Rosa needed for her AEW Women's World Championship reign. She absorbed all that The Professor threw her way, underlining just why she won the title in the first plce.
Winner: Thunder Rosa
Rating: 4/5
MATCH OF THE WEEK:
Thunder Rosa vs Serena Deeb
A supremely entertaining match!
WOMAN OF THE WEEK:
Jade Cargill
That Bitch is once again underlining why she is the woman of 2022!
