Warning: there will be some censored adult language references in one way or another.

So let me get this right: there were 4 female matches over this mania weekend and broadly calculating it; there was 45 minutes of wrestling [full disclaimer: I didn't watch any of this event, but as you will see for the benefit of this content, that is irrelevant and it is important to note that for an example one match lasted just over 10 minutes; but in my calculations I put it down as 11 minutes; just because I didn't want to be seen there is negatively impacting my point or/and the WWE as I lean much more towards AEW.]

So why the hell did the WWE creativity in sideline number one, but three of their best female wrestlers in Giulia, Iyo Sky and Asuka, yes I am now aware it was meant to be Tiffany Stretton vs. Jordynne Grace vs. Champ Giulia; for her WWE Woman's United States Championship; but Grace was injured and I mean this respectfully so? You could still have made this a singles match or if they were worried about wins and losses by pin fall or a submission ... don't make me laugh they could have just made this a strap match or some other stipulation that doesn't involve any pin or submission and for apparently putting on Iyo Sky vs. Asuka at WWE Backlash are you fudgin' kidding me?!

Providing regardless of gender your wrestlers are fit and able your best should be on the best show and the biggest stage of all in professional wrestling, not and I repeat not on the comedown event after.

I mean what really frustrates me is... if AEW had pulled any of this garbage of vast majority of you would be on social media platforms going something to the effect of AEW is actively destroying female wrestling or something other which there are some content creators pointing out essentially the treatment of the women's rosters over Mania weekend have been a joke and what really makes me laugh is I was reliably informed that Stephanie McMahon is still going on about being a pioneer of female wrestling in her speech as she got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame 2026: come on can we stop talking absolute hollocks now, that accolade goes to TNA they made female wrestling a cornerstone of that promotion, when they decided to fully get behind female wrestling years upon years before WWE and sure Stephanie within the WWE had a little to do with the female revolution, but yet again that accolade needs to go to; in no particular order; Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Paige and even not forgetting the previous generations of female wrestlers; that had to go through the bra and panties matches and other sexualised segments and matches just so that the 5 wrestlers I have already referenced could make a whirlwind change off their backs and I cannot understate how much the previous generations really did try to push back like such names as Trish Stratus and/or Lita just to name a couple, so I actually find it personally offensive for Stephanie to stand there and be labelled a pioneer even within the WWE, because the last time I looked she hardly wrestle meanwhile example Lita broke her body sometimes crashing and burning and being consequently on the shelf for a long time ensuring that women never had to go through bra and panties matches again.
