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 Iyo Sky
Iyo Sky vs Bianca Belair was much better than I anticipated it would be, but not because I didn't have any faith in them, I just felt that as a starter to their overall feud, much more would be left for a sequel. Thankfully, they went at each other with a vigour that I instantly fell in love with.
Winner: Bianca Belair
Rating: 3.5/5
Candice LeRae vs Nikki A.S.H.
Candice LeRae's debut meant so much! It was clear it meant so much to her and the WWE Universe, which is an extra point added for Raw this week in terms of it's superiority over SmackDown.
Winner: Candice LeRae
Rating: 3/5
AEW Dark: Elevation
There were no women's matches this week.
WWE NXT 2.0
Mandy Rose vs Fallon Henley

Squash City! A solid NXT debut for Sol Ruca.

Nikkita Lyons vs Kayden Carter

AEW Dark
Leila Grey vs Tiara James
Squash City!

Anna Jay vs Kelly Madan
Squash City! I will note that I do not like Anna Jay as a heel. It just does not feel right.
Winner: Anna Jay
Rating: 2/5
The Renegade Twins vs Mila Moore & Mylo
Squash City!
Winner: The Renegade Twins
Rating: 2/5
AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite
Toni Storm vs Serena Deeb
This was a fair match, but one that could have been so much better considering the talent on offer.
Winner: Toni Storm
Rating: 3/5
Saraya Speaks... Poorly!
Shitt Baker? Oh my God! Saraya needs to learn how to speak again, and quickly. This was a dog shit promo that did nothing for me. I cannot stand Saraya so far.
Impact Wrestling
Masha Slamovich vs Allie Katch
For a Monster's Ball match, this was superb! Masha Slamovoch won in yet another match that evidences she is so much more than a squash artist.
Winner: Masha Slamovich
Rating: 4/5
WWE Friday Night SmackDown
Ronda Rousey vs Natalya
Squash City! Although heel vs heel sucks!
Winner: Ronda Rousey
Rating: 2/5
Bayley vs Shotzi
Squash City!
Winner: Bayley
Rating: 2/5
WWE NXT Level Up
Valentina Feroz vs Thea Hail

MATCH OF THE WEEK:
Masha Slamovich vs Allie Katch
Superb! I like the trajectory Masha Slamovich is currently on.
WOMAN OF THE WEEK:
Britt Baker
Her tweet against Saraya straddles the line between work and shoot... and God damn do I love it!
