Women's Wrestling Weekly Recap & Review #407

Posted by Dallas Allsopp Tuesday, November 1, 2022

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 Bayley

This was such a strange match, as nothing seemed to really click. Thankfully, Damage CTRL shenanigans on the outside helped pique my interest, but the build to Nikki Cross returning as (hopefully) her Sanity character was poorly implemented.

Bayley gaining the actual victory over Bianca Belair is significant, especially as Belair had the visual pin over Bayley whilst the referee was down. Cross attacking both women was entertaining, therefore as an overall package, this was a fine match. It is just a shame the action in the ring was slightly lacking.

Winner: Bayley

Rating: 3/5

AEW Dark: Elevation

Serena Deeb vs Haley J

Squash City!

Winner: Serena Deeb

Rating: 2/5

Emi Sakura & Mei Suruga vs Nikki Victory & Jaylee

Squash City!

Winner: Emi Sakura & Mei Suruga

Rating: 2/5

WWE NXT 2.0

Kayden Carter & Katana Chance vs Zoey Stark & Nikkita Lyons

Dull as dishwater, this match was just not interesting at all. Despite the potential available, it felt like all four women wanted to phone in their performance.

Winner: Kayden Carter & Katana Chance

Rating: 1.5/5

Shotzi vs Lash Legend

Squash City!

Winner: Shotzi

Rating: 2/5

Indi Hartwell vs Sol Ruca

Squash City!

Winner: Indi Hartwell

Rating: 2/5

AEW Dark

Athena vs Alexia Nicole

Squash City!

Winner: Athena

Rating: 2/5

Riho vs Jungle Kyona

This was the one match every month or so that breaks free of the Squash City (TM Dallas J. Allsopp *nervous chuckling* dynamics. Jungle Kyona put in a strong performance, but the overwhelming talent of Riho proved to be too much.

Winner: Riho

Rating: 2/5

Emi Sakura & Serena Deeb vs KC Spinelli & Taylor Rising

Squash City!

Winner: Emi Sakura & Serena Deeb

Rating: 2/5

AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite

Jamie Hayter vs Riho

Honestly, this may be Jamie Hayter's best performance inside an AEW ring. Riho certainly carried Hayter to a good performance, but it is clear that Hayter is slowly learning to hone her in-ring craft, which I can highly appreciate. Overall, this was a solid performance from both women.

Winner: Jamie Hayter

Rating: 3/5

Impact Wrestling

Tasha Steelz vs Rachelle Scheel

Pure garbage!

Winner: Rachelle Scheel

Rating: 1/5

VXT & Giselle Shaw vs Jordynne Grace, Mickie James, & Taylor Wilde

This was a stunning Trios match, with both teams working well to put on a performance. Yes, I am not a fan of VXT, but even I have to admit that they can perform when motivated. This was one such match in which it was clear they were motivated, but it was clear that the faces were due the victory. Fantastic work from all six women.

Winner: Jordynne Grace, Mickie James, & Taylor Wilde

Rating: 3.5/5

WWE Friday Night SmackDown

Ronda Rousey vs Emma

Emma made her return to the WWE, giving Ronda Rousey her best match in months. Overall, this was a decent effort.

Winner: Ronda Rousey

Rating: 3/5

WWE NXT Level Up

Thea Hail vs Jakara Jackson

Squash City!

Winner: Thea Hail

Rating: 2/5

AEW Rampage

Tay Melo vs Madison Rayne

Squash City!

Winner: Tay Melo

Rating: 2/5

MATCH OF THE WEEK:

>VXT & Giselle Shaw vs Jordynne Grace, Mickie James, & Taylor Wilde

This was a surprising contest which actually highlighted the strengths of the Knockout's division.

WOMEN OF THE WEEK:

Nikki Cross

Although Emma also returned this week, I feel Nikki Cross made the bigger impact.
