Mia Yim is still a free agent, right? I know she left TNA a while ago, and already had an NXT cup of coffee as a jobber. If they don't get her for the tournament then I don't know what.

Yeah, guys like Bate/Dunne/Wolfgang/Seven still have relative freedom to work indies and only come into WWE whenever WWE feels like it. It's a way better deal than what the cruserweights got.

If Toni Storm can get an offer like that, while still getting to work Stardom/Progress, she would probably take it in a heartbeat.

It's a multi-women match, right? Probably best for Kairi to look good in it but not win because Peyton and Billie cheat or someone else interferes against Kairi. It'll be a lot more impressive to win it from a single's match, and waiting until Wrestlemania season would probably be the best idea to make that happen.

I mean, unless you want Kairi to go undefeated like Asuka.

Billie and Peyton loving suck and should never come close to touching the title

Do they even have the bodies for 30 women? Here's the current main roster

Raw:

Alexa Bliss (champ)
Asuka
Sasha Banks
Bayley
Nia Jax
Mickie James
Alicia Fox
Dana Brooke
Paige
Mandy Rose
Sonya Deville

Smackdown:

Charlotte (champ)
Natalya
Naomi
Becky Lynch
Carmella
Tamina
Lana
Ruby Riot
Sarah Logan
Liv Morgan

NXT

Ember Moon (champ)
Kairi Sane
Nikki Cross
Peyton Royce
Billie Kay
Bianca Belair
... Lacey Evans?
... uhh, Aliyah?



I guess you could throw in Trish/Victoria/Madusa/whoever for a nostalgia pop, and maybe call in some of the notable MYC people (Shayna/Abbey Laith/Dakota Kai etc). But man is that match a lot of dead space.

This is the same company that tried to convince us that Mickie loving James was a fat ugly she-beast. Vince still has his type.

tenille dashwood is an incredible wrestling name and it's so WWE to call someone with that name "Emma"

WWE had someone whose shoot name is BARBIE BLANK and named her "Kelly Kelly." Nobody ever accused them of being creative with women names.

A lot of wrestling schools have some sort of free tryout or workshop where people can come in off the street, run the ropes and take flat back bumps for an hour, then decide very quickly if they want to pay to keep doing this.

I don't watch much Stardom but Hana was always a standout from what I've seen there and on her ROH tour. And she definitely lived up to the hype -- incredible talent, tons of charisma, had all the pieces to be the best women's wrestler in the world one day. And we'll never get to see it, and she had her whole life ahead of her at 22 years old.

Honestly I can't come up with the words to describe my heartbreak, this is loving terrible on every level.

Still blows my mind that Stardom put her on the show partly to get her over as a mainstream celebrity and then the producers gave her a villain edit. The gently caress were they thinking?

The new Women of Wrestling relaunch is underway, and has been met with significant controversy after announcing Tessa Blanchard as the face and casting agent in the company.

Reasons for those controversies are an alleged incident with La Rosa Negra, that those around it claim saw Tessa Blanchard spit on La Rosa Negra and use a racial slur. Blanchard has vehemently denied such behavior to those close to her, and claimed the fight began when Negra threw an item at her. The two have spoken since, but as it turns out, there have been some pretty heavy efforts by multiple companies to get them together again.

Fightful has learned of two specific pitches that were put together, one on screen, and one off screen. According to NWA sources, one of the ideas when they made contact with Blanchard during the Summer was to get La Rosa Negra and Blanchard together in private to work things out and make good on their issues. We're not sure if this even made it to La Rosa Negra.

Another pitch made this year was from WOW Women of Wrestling this year. Fightful has learned from sources close to La Rose Negra, close to WOW, and who formerly worked at WOW that a pitch was made to her that she could work for WOW, and she and Tessa would appear on screen together in some capacity. It was not specified to us if this would have been on the actual show, or something for social media, or what the content would have entailed, though we were told things varying from an "apology" to "easing tensions." We also aren't sure of the time frame around it.

Fightful has attempted to reach out to La Rosa Negra on the matter. Those close to her say she was "insulted" by the offer.


OK so WOW is just gonna be a massive shitshow that nobody should support, but did we expect anything else from a Tessa vanity project?
