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 Carmella
I am so tired of this matchup - I want something fresh! Despite Bianca Belair's best efforts, she couldn't rescue this mess.
Winner: Carmella
Rating: 1.5/5
Asuka, Alexa Bliss, & Dana Brooke vs Tamina, Doudrop, & Nikki A.S.H.
This was an absolutely garbage matchup, with no-one coming out of it with their head held high. Sometimes I really despair for how WWE books it's women's division.
Winner: Asuka, Alexa Bliss, & Dana Brooke
Rating: 1.5/5
AEW Dark: Elevation
Marina Shafir & Nyla Rose vs Skye Blue & Brittany
Squash City!
Winner: Marina Shafir & Nyla Rose
Rating: 2/5
Julia Hart vs Amber Nova
Squash City!
Winner: Julia Hart
Rating: 2/5
WWE NXT 2.0
Alba Fyre, Nikkita Lyons, Tiffany Stratton, Fallon Henley, Lash Legend, Indi Hartwell, Ivy Nile, Kiana James, Elektra Lopez, Cora Jade, Zoey Stark, Sloane Jacobs, Valentina Feroz, Yulisa Leon, Wendy Choo, Katana Chance, Kayden Carter, Tatum Paxley, Amari Miller, & Arianna Grace
Unfortunately, this Battle Royal did not stand out. It was your typical mess, but at least Zoey Stark winning was interesting. Overall, it highlighted how few women are booked well in NXT 2.0.
Winner: Zoey Stark
Rating: 2/5
AEW Dark
Serena Deeb vs Viva Van
Squash City!
Winner: Serena Deeb
Rating: 2/5
Marina Shafir vs Amber Nova
Squash City!
Winner: Marina Shafir
Rating: 2/5
Avery Breaux & Valentina Rossi vs The Renegades
Squash City!
Winner: The Renegades
Rating: 2/5
Mercedes Martinez vs J-Rod
Squash City!
Winner: Mercedes Martinez
Rating: 2/5
AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite
Jade Cargill & Kiera Hogan vs Willow Nightingale & Athena
The Baddies were on top here, but the most intriguing thing is that no-one feels like a real threat to Jade Cargill. Athena certainly wasn't a threat in this match, and as such, this came across as a rather dull contest.
Winner: Jade Cargill & Kiera Hogan
Rating: 2/5
Impact Wrestling
Deonna Purrazzo & Chelsea Green vs Jordynne Grace & Mia Yim
As much as Deonna Purrazzo is skilled in the ring, she cannot make up for how poor and ineffective Chelsea Green is. Simply put, Green by name, and Green by nature. This was a slog to get through thanks to her, but everyone else at least performed admirably.
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo & Chelsea Green
Rating: 2/5
Masha Slamovich vs Madison Rayne
Squash City!
Winner: Masha Slamovich
Rating: 2/5
WWE NXT UK
Isla Dawn vs Fallon Henley
Squash City!
Winner: Isla Dawn
Rating: 2/5
Emilia McKenzie vs Nina Samuels
Squash City!
Winner: Emilia McKenzie
Rating: 2/5
WWE Friday Night SmackDown
Raquel Rodriguez vs Sonya Deville
Pretty much an extended squash, but Raquel Rodriguez looked dominant here.
Winner: Raquel Rodriguez
Rating: 2/5
WWE NXT Level Up
Thea Hail vs Brooklyn Barlow
Awful! One of the worst matches of the year so far!
Winner: Thea Hail
Rating: 1/5
AEW Rampage
Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter vs Skye Blue & Ashley D’Amboise
Squash City!
Winner: Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter
Rating: 2/5
MATCH OF THE WEEK:
Raquel Rodriguez vs Sonya Deville
It really was a poor week for the women, but this was possibly the best of bad bunch.
WOMAN OF THE WEEK:
Liv Morgan
Once again, Liv Morgan displayed her undoubted talent on the microphone.
