WWE Hypocrisy With Women’s Wrestling

WWE has a rocky history with their involvement with Women’s wrestling. For a long time, women in WWE were looked only looked like eye candy for the male audience of the WWE programming and in a lot of ways women are still looked like eye candy for some WWE higher ups of the promotion run by Vince McMahon.

The look of a wrestler has always mattered in WWE no matter the gender, but women in WWE have always in a way had it harder than  men in a lot of ways. Vince McMahon has always preferred blonde female wrestlers with big breasts with lacking wrestling ability. Let’s remember the case of AJ Lee, a higher up in WWE told her that she was not attractive despite the fact is that Lee is a beautiful woman but she did not have the WWE look and instead The Bellas who have the WWE female look they want were pushed over her.

WWE likes to give credit to The Bellas as the starters of the ‘’women’s revolution’’ with Stephanie McMahon as the mastermind but this is far from the truth. All the credit to this women’s revolution should be thanked to Triple H and the 4 Horsewomen of WWE, whom with outstanding performances let the way to the current state of women’s wrestling in WWE and bring hope to the future to women’s wrestling in WWE.

Despite all the progress WWE has made in terms of women’s wrestling there are still some things that haven’t change. For example, Vince McMahon likes blonde wrestlers in a big way or the fact some female wrestlers have to make a breast augmentation surgery, so they could be pushed is still in WWE. The last match that not included a Blonde wrestler in a WWE women’s title match was October of 2014 in a match between Paige and AJ Lee. Making clear Vince McMahon and WWE creative have a type.

WWE accepting doing the Saudi Arabia show is throwing to the garbage all the progress made in women’s wrestling since 2015. The fact WWE is going to make shows in a country were women are not allowed to performed is bad already but the worst offence is the fact they do propaganda saying Saudi Arabia is this progressive country when in reality women are still treated as second class citizen and some of the progress they are making is still being tried to reverse back to some of the laws and rules against women they had.

The biggest mistake WWE could do in their history is promoting the Saudi Arabia show Crown Jewel in the first ever female PPV Evolution and the fact this is most likely to happen makes Evolution become from a celebration of women’s wrestling to a mediocre apology to the women in WWE.

WWE calling themselves moral compasses is just wrong when we can still see in the current state of the promotion that there is a lot to work to be done to improve women’s wrestling in WWE instead when WWE Is making the right steps it makes 10 steps backwards with Crown Jewel for the sake of money when they like to tell the fans they are doing this for social and cultural change which is far from the truth. Maybe with Triple H in charge we will see more change for the positive in all divisions of WWE specially for the women.
