SquaredCircle

We were asked to expand on some of the frustrations from the women's division. It's important to note that it doesn't reflect the entirety of the division, but was echoed by numerous talent. Several women on the WWE roster spoke with Fightful and noted the lack of focus on developing contenders, the tag team division, and screen time for women outside of the top of the division. This was said to be specifically in comparison to NXT, where main roster women's talent have noticed how much screen time and focus those talent get and how emotional investment follows.

There was also a point of redundant storylines, with the same talent not only being featured at the top of the card, but even in the mid-card title scene. Those that we spoke to were happy for those who get that screen time, and said that it shouldn't be a "they're getting too much time" conversation, it should be a "give other people more time in addition to them" conversation.

Those that Fightful spoke with pointed to Sonya Deville effectively being cut while negotiating a new deal as something that didn't instill confidence when they aren't being used by the company. We're told that Sonya Deville had been told as recently as four days prior that the company was looking to keep her. Several who have inquired about creative plans were told that their time would be coming and asked to be patient.

Simpsons did it!

"Once those 30 PPV events are added to the service, Max would have every PPV and special event in AEW history available."

"WWE feel the shows would fare better if given more prominent WWE branding rather than being explicitly marketed as NXT events."
