Either in the way they book wrestlers, the way fans perceive these wrestlers, or the way the culture does not allow for change. I see people praising AEW right now because they just remembered they could do a great women’s division but we shouldn’t give millionaires a pat on the back and a “good job” sticker for doing the bare minimum and what they should have done years ago. It’s 2024, and we can’t let wrestling companies do what they want with female talent because it’s not moral to have someone like Kai cry on her livestream begging for a chance and then doing everything in your power to not give her that. It’s not just Kai though. In many interviews, Lynch talks about the pool of talent the women’s division has and how many interesting mixups you can do, proven by her matches with the current Women’s Money in the Bank holder, Tiffany Stratton. There are many critiques that Triple H has been having, but the ones that people seemingly don’t pay attention to are the ones regarding women’s wrestling under his regime.
While I think the answer to this disrespect towards the female wrestlers in WWE is a mix of the things women have to suffer in society as a whole and the industry naturally objectifying them because it has led people to believe that’s the only way you can book women and make them popular with the fans, there’s no one to blame but Paul Levesque because he knows exactly what he’s doing and I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt too and be a little more naive and say “Oh no he’s not, it’s just a coincidence” but the recent months have proven me the exact opposite. This guy knows what he’s doing.
