Are We Ready For An All-Female WWE Event?

Twitter once again began to stir the pot in the wrestling community this week, with its daily dose of rumours & news on the future of the wrestling business and what we may or may not see in the coming months. Could one of them be an all-female WWE event?

This week we got the announcement of ROH and New Japan taking over the ‘World’s Most Famous Arena’ Madison Square Garden over Wrestlemania weekend next April, Brock Lesnar was just recently confirmed with 100% guarantee to appear at Summerslam in a matter of weeks & the rumours of Rey Mysterio’s WWE return have continued to swirl. None of these however caught my attention as much as one particular rumour, that of an all-female WWE event being in the pipeline, potentially occurring before the years end.

Such a rumour did honestly take me by surprise, since this was something fans had fantasy booked for years online & debated over, it was odd to see it come up at a time when so much news was flowing and I did feel the ROH & NJPW deal with Madison Square Garden sadly pushed this into the background.

An all-female WWE event is a marquee moment on its own right without even existing and speaks volumes to the trust the company has in their female talent, as well as the shift in their product compared to almost a decade ago when women were nothing more than a side act to the men headlining the shows.

During that time woman were subjected to simple vanity on most wrestling programming, doing nothing more than posing as sex symbols for audiences to drool over, today? They’re stars in their own right, with actual credibility and more than enough potential to steal every show they’re booked on and produce some of the years best matches as we’ve seen since 2015.

Potential based on what I’ve seen however didn’t answer the question I first had; Are we ready for an all-female WWE event?

It isn’t a question I could answer with a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ without some context behind each choice as something like this requires extensive thought and knowledge on the WWE product as a whole and where the women’s division stands as of this righting. For this, I split my thoughts into two portions.
