The AEW women's division was given four minutes total on last night's Rampage

Four minutes total for ring entrances, their match, and the post-match angle. For comparison, this is the same amount of time that the Gunn Club was given to explain why they are cops. Also for comparison, while last night's episode featured only one storyline from the women's division, they did find time to progress six storylines from the men's division:
>Dark Order feuding with House of Black, with a chaser of Darby/Sting feuding with House of Black, and Miro potentially joining House of Black
>Lee Moriarity trying to get his revenge on Gresham, with a chaser of Claudio coming out to challenge for the belt after the match
>Christopher Daniels sticking up for Samoa Joe against Jay Lethal & co
>Stokely Hathaway trying to poach Lee Moriarity away from Sydal, and the setup to Lee Moriarity vs Dante Martin
>The aforementioned Gunn Club being cops
>Fenix and Penta getting revenge on Andrade and Rush by way of Private Party
In addition to being incredibly lopsided, this lack of time is actively, visibly hurting the presentation of the show. Statlander and Athena are two of the best wrestlers in the division, but a match that short doesn't let you see much of anything out of anyone (including the Renegade Twins, who have shown some real promise on Dark). The post-match beatdown was incredibly rushed, with Athena and Statlander going down basically without a fight despite having just squashed the Twins with no problem. They are the biggest story in the women's division right now, and they literally did not have the time to make a segment with good pacing because the sum total of the time allotted to their entire division was the same as one small part of the men's division gets for an interview.
