While appearing on Corey Graves' After The Bell podcast, Paige commented on the state of the WWE women's division:

“I don’t understand why we don’t have another girl’s PPV (Evolution PPV). We had that one-off deal, like what the h*** is that about? Give us one every year what the f**k? That’s the whole purpose, we had a women’s evolution for a reason.”

Paige continued, “Let’s stop talking about the women’s evolution and actually just let the women do whatever they want. I just feel like a lot of the girls are being held back.”
Punk seems to already be rubbing off on some folks. She's right that they need to stop talking about the women's revolution and just let them just do their thing, but what she and a lot of others fail to realize is that WWE needs to talk about it so they can keep getting credit. Paige should've told the truth and said that Becky & Charles are holding the women back.

The Women's Evolution in WWE was never about the women, it was a marketing tool to take advantage of Women being relevant in Sports.
Exactly, The problem that I also have with it is that they never intended to showcase the women who the fans really love. Sasha, Asuka, Bayley, Ember (although she's a bedwench) & Kairi were ruined or forgotten about because they don't look like Vince's ideal woman. I'd love to see Bianca on the main roster but not until Vince retires or dies.

I feel like they’re hoping Rhonda comes back and are booking around (albeit spinning their wheels on it) an eventual return to cash in on peoples boredom with the 4HW. Issue is, what if she never does? The company never thinks that far :russ:

I get that it's not the same booking for all of them but stop making the women's division revolve around Charlotte and Becky. I'm tired of them. If I'm a female superstar in NXT, why would I wanna go to the main roster?

Fixed. Sasha and Bayley are pretty in the same boat as the other women.

It's only about 2 of them, Sasha & Bayley have continually put other people over and it's all been for nothing. I agree that the NXT women should not want to go to the main roster, and when you look at NXT the women have like 3 different feuds going on & it looks like Bianca is about to get prioritized again.

No they aren't. They are booked horribly, yes, but at least they are featured. Bayley is the Smackdown Champion for goodness sake.

The other women are pretty much non existent.

Also the Becky backlash here will never not be funny. This is EXACTLY what you all wanted. :mjlol:

Understood they are being featured but it’s ridiculous how favored Becky and Charlotte are.

Sasha hasn’t been given a title reign longer than a month yet and Bayley hasn’t been well protected at all in her heel run. This would not be the case with Vince’s two golden girls.

Bayley or Sasha would not get to last 15+ mins in a handicap match vs the tag champs.

Nah. They still get featured prominently. Just not booked as strong as the other two. I'm tired of the division revolving around them. Raw revolves around Becky and Charlotte. Smackdown revolves around Bayley and Sasha.

Asuka, Carmella, Ronda Rousey, Alexa Bliss, Natalya, Naomi, and Nia Jax are the only other women to be champion other than the 4 Horsewomen and we've had 2 titles since 2016.

Yes, as I stated, they have been booked horribly, but they aren't in the same boat as the other women though. The other women are damned near irrelevant.

They're still prominently featured. Bayley is the Smackdown Women's Champion and is the only one of the four who has held all the titles. Sasha is the best of the 4 and her booking sucks but she's still prominently featured. The division still revolves around the 4 of them.

Also the lack of storylines hurts the female division the most. As a whole the division is still pushed heavily by WWE PR/Propaganda but like the men's division it's a shell creatively except you're looking at the same four performers do nothing of note instead of the 24 in the men's division.

This whole first name/last name let's fight shyt has run it's course. People are so desperate for more they are lapping up bullshyt like the Rusev/Lashley angle. You hate to see it.
