Today, I\u2019ll provide an update to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2017\/03\/08\/pruetts-pause-wwe-smackdown-live-celebrating-international-womens-day-looking-smackdowns-womens-championship-match-wrestlemania-history-women-wres\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this piece<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> asking whether WWE has improved in this respect in a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s start with WrestleMania. I found a few nice statistics about WrestleMania and women\u2019s matches on the show. Here they are, updated for 2018:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been 27 total matches involving women as participants at WrestleMania.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of those 27, four have been mixed tag matches.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been 11 one-on-one women\u2019s matches at WrestleMania events.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last one-on-one women\u2019s match at a WrestleMania was Melina vs. Ashley Massaro at WrestleMania 23. This, however, was a Lumberjack match with the rest of the women\u2019s roster at ringside.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last one-on-one women\u2019s match not to involve other women was Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James at WrestleMania 22.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Out of the 21 matches that were supposed to solely feature women (example &#8211; not mixed tags), one was won by a man (Santino Marella at WrestleMania 25).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There has been a women\u2019s match at every WrestleMania since WrestleMania 14, with the exception of WrestleMania 29.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most matches with women as participants ever held at a single WrestleMania is three. WrestleMania 33 set this record in 2017.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is an average of 4\/5ths of a women\u2019s match at every WrestleMania.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The longest women\u2019s match at WrestleMania occurred at WrestleMania 32. It was over 16 minutes long.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next longest match is the WrestleMania 33 four way for the Raw Women\u2019s Championship between Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Nia Jax.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The longest WrestleMania women\u2019s match (before 2016) not involving male participants was Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James at WrestleMania 22. It was eight minutes, 48 seconds long.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The shortest WrestleMania women\u2019s match was at WrestleMania 2. Fabulous Moolah vs. Velvet McIntyre was one minute, 25 seconds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At WrestleMania 25\u2019s 25 woman Battle Royal the match time divided by participant was 17.8 seconds\/person.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a lot to celebrate in the above statistics. In the second WrestleMania of the \u201cWomen\u2019s (R)Evolution\u201d era, WWE set the record for most matches involving women at one WrestleMania. They also had the second longest WrestleMania women\u2019s match in history. Kudos to WWE for doing so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, WWE has yet to have a one-on-one women\u2019s match involving no other women since WrestleMania 22 in 2006. That was 12 years ago. This is unacceptable. Imagine if we went 12 years without a singles men\u2019s match at WrestleMania. It\u2019s unfathomable and another example of WWE talking a big game about gender equality, but failing to actually follow through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about main events? Let\u2019s look at how WWE\u2019s women have been presented in main events of PPV\u2019s, Raw, NXT, and Smackdown in the last few years:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2016, the first women\u2019s pay-per-view main event in WWE history took place, as Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair met at Hell in a Cell.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2017, women did not main event a single pay-per-view.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2018 started with women main eventing a \u201cBig 4\u201d pay-per-view for the first time with the first ever Women\u2019s Royal Rumble match.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2015, Sasha Banks and Bayley became the first women to main event a NXT Takeover special. As of March 2018, this is the only time women have done so.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NXT Takeover: Brooklyn II was the last NXT Takeover with more than one women\u2019s match. It was on August 20, 2016.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2017, women were featured in the main event segment of Raw 4 times. Men were featured in the main event segment of Raw 48 times.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2017, women were featured in the main event segment of Smackdown 4 times. Men were featured in the main event segment of Smackdown 48 times.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2017, women were featured in the main event segment of NXT 5 times. Men were featured in the main event segment of NXT 47 times.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even WWE\u2019s pioneer in equality, NXT, failed to even feature 10 main events with women in them. Across all three of WWE\u2019s main weekly shows, women main evented 13 times in 2017. Add in pay-per-views and NXT Takeover specials and women main evented 13 times. There were 16 pay-per-views and 5 NXT Takeovers in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these WWE televised events, men main evented 164 of a possible 177 shows. Women main evented 13 of 177 possible shows. Women main evented 7.3% of WWE\u2019s main televised shows in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is not encouraging. This is nowhere near equality. This does not back up WWE\u2019s premise that women should be able to do anything. While it\u2019s likely more than we would have seen five years ago, it\u2019s still not enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A year later, and progress is a lot slower than it should be for WWE. We aren\u2019t seeing them make radical strides towards women in main events. We are hardly seeing them try to put women in main events. 2017 was a year and a half after the \u201cWomen\u2019s Evolution\/Revolution\u201d began and WWE was still satisfied with women in just 7.3% of their main events.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-885720682\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there is a lot to be optimistic about in the future, including WWE signing Ronda Rousey as a major mainstream star and the promise presented in the Women\u2019s Royal Rumble match, WWE is still doing the bare minimum to get by. This is not equality. This is not even a legitimate attempt at equality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>What I absolutely positively love in wrestling this week:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Look, the Mixed Match Challenge is the best WWE show at the moment. It\u2019s entertaining, enjoyable, and I smile at almost every episode. The current highlight of this show for me is the budding relationship between Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss. They are both completely their own characters here, but they have an aura of friendship and potential romance I am all about. The MMC is amazing, as are both of these wrestlers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/78.media.tumblr.com\/e6b87ab739f797c73658b4dd6dc28013\/tumblr_p3ciwql8aE1u1ljrzo1_540.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>What I absolutely positively love in the world this week:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>American Vandal (on Netflix)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; While I thought it would be immature to make an entire TV series about a high school student vandalizing 27 cars with penises, I hadn\u2019t considered doing so through the lens of the true crime genre.
