Women's Wrestling Weekly Recap & Review #412

Posted by Dallas Allsopp Wednesday, December 14, 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

Bayley vs Asuka vs Rhea Ripley

As the first of two Triple Threat matches, the level of excitement here was high, however, it just couldn't match the intensity of the main event.

Winner: Bayley

Rating: 3.5/5

Alexa Bliss vs Becky Lynch vs Nikki Cross

This was a fantastic match to end the show, with Alexa Bliss picking up the surprise win. Raw's women's division is the complete antithesis of SmackDown's, with this match not only rocking from an in ring perspective, but also succeeding in creating a compelling narrative for all involved.

Winner: Alexa Bliss

Rating: 4/5

AEW Dark: Elevation

Nyla Rose & Marina Shafir vs Kitty LaFleur & Alice Crowley

Squash City!

Winner: Nyla Rose & Marina Shafir

Rating: 2/5

Kiera Hogan vs Nikki Victory

Squash City!

Winner: Kiera Hogan

Rating: 2/5

Madison Rayne vs Emi Sakura

Squash City!

Winner: Emi Sakura

Rating: 2/5

WWE NXT 2.0

Isla Dawn vs Thea Hail

Squash City! Isla Dawn has to look strong for Alba Fyre, right?

Winner: Isla Dawn

Rating: 2/5

Indi Hartwell vs Fallon Henley vs Wendy Choo

Another Indi Hartwell match, and another dose of banality.

Winner: Indi Hartwell

Rating: 2/5

AEW Dark

Abadon vs Leva Bates

Squash City! We don't get nearly enough action from Abadon in AEW, and I feel she is worthy of another shot at being a focal point of AEW's women's division.

Winner: Abadon

Rating: 2/5

Athena vs B3cca

Squash City! Evil Athena seems to finally be finding her feet.

Winner: Athena

Rating: 2/5

AEW Wednesday Night Dynamite

Jade Cargill & The Baddies vs Madison Rayne, Kiera Hogan, & Skye Blue

Squash City! Jade Cargill continues to look absolutely fantastic!

Winner: Jade Cargill & The Baddies

Rating: 2/5

Impact Wrestling

Savannah Evans vs Taya Valkyrie

Although an upset win for Savannah Evans, neither woman really showed their best side here. Taya Valkyrie feels to me to be stuck in limbo within the Knockout's division, but it is great to see new faces being pushed. Not bad, but not great here.

Winner: Savannah Evans

Rating: 2.5/5

WWE Friday Night SmackDown

Liv Morgan & Tegan Nox vs Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler

I will give credit where it is due to the blue brand - their women's match wasn't garbage this week. Although not a stellar offering, Liv Morgan and Tegan Nox defeating the team of Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler was more entertaining than what we have received recently.

Winner: Liv Morgan & Tegan Nox

Rating: /5

WWE NXT Level Up

Valentia Feroz vs Sol Ruca

Squash City!

Winner: Sol Ruca

Rating: 2/5

AEW Rampage

Hikaru Shida vs Bunny

Squash City!

Winner: Hikaru Shida

Rating: /5

WWE NXT Deadline 2022

Roxanne Perez vs Zoey Stark vs Cora Jade vs Kiana James vs Indi Hartwell

The Women's Survivor match was a fairly decent concept, but I will admit that TNA did it best with their King of the Mountain match. Yes, both are similar, but the TNA matches were frenetic and off the hook, whilst this offering was tame at points. I'm happy for Roxanne Perez to win, but this did not feel great as a contest.

Winner: Roxanne Perez

Rating: 3/5

Isla Dawn vs Alba Fyre

I did not care for this, as Isla Dawn should not have taken the victory. Alba Fyre looked ineffective, whilst Dawn is not the great wrestler that she thinks she is. Overall, this was a failure.

Winner: Isla Dawn

Rating: 1.5/5

MATCH OF THE WEEK:

Alexa Bliss vs Becky Lynch vs Nikki Cross

A perfect example of why Raw has the best women's division in wrestling at the moment.

WOMAN OF THE WEEK:

Roxanne Perez

Roxanne Perez hammered home that she is now a big player in NXT.
