A division-consuming storyline may be the platform that AEW's women’s roster needs to launch

Wrestling - Sports News, Headlines & Highlights | DeadspinA division-consuming storyline may be the platform that AEW's women’s roster needs to launch

A rising tide lifts all boats, so they tell me. The tide on the women’s side of AEW, for pretty much its entire three-plus-year existence, seemed pretty stagnant, with the occasional spike that promised more but rarely delivered a change in altitude.

There's nothing wrong with AEW's Ruby Soho — or any woman — bleeding

Capping off a week of pretty wild wrestling news, I suppose it was somewhat comforting that it ended with a familiar dumbass debate within the industry. Talks of board takeovers and sales to oppressive foreign regimes, that’s above most wrestling fans’ paygrade (though it won’t stop us from chiming ...

And that’s New Japan Pro Wrestling’s biggest event of the year, Wrestle Kingdom (bell time, 3 a.m. EST). Not only did it mark the return of actually cheering crowds for NJPW sho...
