>Bayley, one of the best wrestlers in the company, was given less to zero importance to her rivalry with Iyo Sky, even if it was compelling television: she didn’t even get her deserved WrestleMania main event. Now, she’s stuck in a rivalry with Piper Niven that WWE is not willing to give importance to either. Dakota Kai was on social media asking for a chance to show what she’s capable of doing, the Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill tag team run is good, but it doesn’t scratch a fraction of what it could truly do given how talented Bianca is, and how much presence Jade has. And don’t get me started on the way Shawn Michaels is booking NXT. WWE was in your face saying they saved women’s wrestling in the US and even did a whole PPV (that never had another edition) to tell you “Yeah, we’ll book women better,” but now people have realized the whole company is not willing to give women wrestlers a chance to shine as WRESTLERS. Because yeah, we can talk about mainstream appeal all you want, but do we need horny teenagers objectifying wrestlers again for a company to care about a whole division? How is it that with the depth of WWE’s division, we’re living in a reality where Tony Khan is doing a better job in booking them after years of not even caring about it?
>The booking affects the perception fans have of women’s wrestling as a whole, therefore it adds to this complicity because fans are not accustomed to seeing WWE treating women’s wrestling seriously and they just have been doing it now because they realized female wrestlers are on an all-time high and you can’t ignore that.
