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
Asuka & Alexa Bliss vs Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H.
Squash City! Alexa Bliss and Asuka never once looked like losing.

Rating: 2/5

Penelope Ford vs Heather Reckless
Squash City!

Hikaru Shida & Thunderstorm vs Emi Sakura, Marina Shafir, & Nyla Rose
Repeat City! This is such a boring matchup that I just could not enjoy yet another mediocre matchup.
Winner: Hikaru Shida & Thunderstorm
Rating: 2/5
WWE NXT 2.0 Heatwave
Roxanne Perez vs Cora Jade
This match went on far too long, but at least both women tried hard to put on a performance. The issue is that their story deserved a more deafening result, but this was simply a whimper.
Winner: Roxanne Perez
Rating: 2.5/5
Mandy Rose vs Zoey Stark
As the undisputed head of NXT 2.0's women's division, Mandy Rose was not going to lose here, therefore the match was starved of any real drama, thus the quality of the match was affected negatively as a result.
Winner: Mandy Rose
Rating: 2/5
AEW Dark
Willow Nightingale vs Robyn Renegade
Squash City!
Winner: Willow Nightingale
Rating: 2/5
Abadon vs Mafiosa
Squash City!
Winner: Abadon
Rating: 2/5
Emi Sakura vs Renee Michelle
Squash City!
Winner: Emi Sakura
Rating: 2/5
Skye Blue vs Charlette Renegade
Squash City!
Winner: Skye Blue
Rating: 2/5
Kayla Rossi vs Avery Breaux
Squash City!
Winner: Kayla Rossi
Rating: 2/5
AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite
Toni Storm vs Kilynn King
Squash City!
Winner: Toni Storm
Rating: 2/5
Impact Wrestling
Killer Kelly vs Savannah Evans
Squash City!
Winner: Killer Kelly
Rating: 2/5
WWE NXT UK
Amale vs Nina Samuels
Squash City!
Winner: Amale
Rating: 2/5
WWE Friday Night SmackDown
Toxic Attraction vs Natalya & Sonya Deville
Despite Toxic Attraction being the main... ahem... attraction within NXT 2.0's women's tag team division, they were unable to make up for the ineptitude of Sonya Deville and Natalya. Simply put, their match was a reminder of why the women's tag team division is underwhelming. But at least in victory, they looked great.
Winner: Toxic Attraction
Rating: 2/5
Liv Morgan vs Shotzi
Squash City! Just the result that Liv Morgan needed.
Winner: Liv Morgan
Rating: 2/5
WWE NXT Level Up
Arianna Grace vs Ivy Nile
Squash City! This was a pretty solid showcase for Ivy Nile this week.
Winner: Ivy Nile
Rating: 2/5
AEW Rampage
Athena vs Penelope Ford
This was a fair match, but once again, it felt like just a vehicle to get to an attack on Athena by The Baddies.
Winner: Athena
Rating: 2.5/5
MATCH OF THE WEEK:
Arianna Grace vs Ivy Nile
With little to choose from this week, I'm going with a spirited performance from the future stars of NXT.
WOMEN OF THE WEEK:
Toxic Attraction
They have truly arrived on the main roster - here's hoping Gigi Dolin's injury is not too severe.
