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 Liv Morgan vs Asuka vs Alexa Bliss vs Carmella
The winner of this match would face Bianca Belair at Money in the Bank, but due to the way WWE is currently handling Becky Lynch and her redemption storyline, it was clear she wouldn't win. Carmella winning was interesting, as she will evidently be a lamb to the salughter. Overall, this was a decent match.
Winner: Carmella
Rating: 3/5
Asuka vs Becky Lynch
Simply fantastic! These two know how to excel with each other.
Winner: Asuka
Rating: 4/5

WWE NXT 2.0

Rating: 2/5
Alba Fyre vs Lash Legend
A genuine throwaway match, with a poor disqualification finish.

Rating: 1.5/5
AEW Dark

AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite
Toni Storm vs Marina Shafir
Although this was not a standout match, it was great to see Toni Storm head into Forbidden Door with real momentum.
Winner: Toni Storm
Rating: 2.5/5
Impact Wrestling
Mia Yim vs Chelsea Green
This was all about Mia Yim, who once again looked a real force within the Knockout's division. Chelsea Green was her usual ineffective self, but she didn't completely shit the bed with her poor performance.
Winner: Mia Yim
Rating: 2.5/5
WWE Main Event
Dana Brooke vs Doudrop
The very definition of pointless. I'm sorry Doudrop's first main roster title is the disgusting WWE 24/7 Championship.
Winner: Doudrop
Rating: 1/5
WWE NXT UK
Isla Dawn vs Myla Grace
Squash City!
Winner: Isla Dawn
Rating: 2/5
Sarray vs Nina Samuels
Squash City!
Winner: Sarray
Rating: 2/5
WWE Friday Night SmackDown
Lacey Evans & Raquel Rodriguez vs Sonya Deville
Adam Pearce adopting Sonya Deville's crooked mantle does not fit here. Whilst Deville is still poor in the ring, both Lacey Evans and Raquel Rodriguez looked like stars here.
Winner: Lacey Evans & Raquel Rodriguez
Rating: 2/5
Shotzi vs Tamina
Just terrible. Awful and boring.
Winner: Shotzi
Rating: 1/5
WWE NXT Level Up
Kiana James vs Brooklyn Barlow
Squash City!
Winner: Kiana James
Rating: 2/5
AEW Rampage
Serena Deeb & Mercedes Martinez vs Laynie Luck & Sierra
Squash City!
Winner: Serena Deeb & Mercedes Martinez
Rating: 2/5
AEW & NJPW: Forbidden Door
Thunder Rosa vs Toni Storm
I honestly expected Thunder Rosa to drop the belt here, as she has not exactly covered herself in glory as AEW Women's World Champion. But to her credit, she had a fun and entertaining match with Toni Storm, with enough false finishes to create a sense of drama. Hopefully Rosa can use this as a springboard to a better reign.
Winner: Thunder Rosa
Rating: 3/5
MATCH OF THE WEEK:
Asuka vs Becky Lynch
Simply a fantstic match between two women who love to compete hard against each other.
WOMAN OF THE WEEK:
Asuka
Asskicker Asuka is my favourite version of The Empress of Tomorrow.
