WWE on Women Making History This Week
WWE has issued the following, touting the women of the company headlining both Raw and Smackdown this week:
Women main event nearly every WWE show this week
Question: When was the last time women main-evented nearly every show in WWE in a single week?
Answer: Never. It’s never been done … until this week. Excluding 205 Live, which features no female competitors as of yet, every major WWE show is main-evented by its Women’s division. Monday’s Raw ended with Sasha Banks’ victory in a historic Women’s Gauntlet Match to determine Alexa Bliss’ challenger for the Raw Women’s Title at the WWE Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view, while last night’s SmackDown LIVE was capped off with a rematch of the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, which was won by Carmella.
Finally, NXT was capped off with Asuka’s defense of her NXT Women’s Championship against Nikki Cross in a no-holds-barred Last Woman Standing Match, completing the trifecta.
Congratulations, ladies. Here’s to many more weeks like this one.
Hulk Hogan – Sarah Palin Note
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is suing The New York Times for defamation, and The New York Law Journal is reporting Palin will be using Hulk Hogan’s lawyers, Kenneth Turkel and Shane Vogt for the case. Turkel and Vogt were a part of Hogan’s legal team in his lawsuit against Gawker, which resulted in a huge judgment in favor of Hogan, and the shutting down of the Gawker website.
