WWE: What Are Some More Milestones For The Women’s Division To Accomplish?

The WWE has taken women’s wrestling to levels no one would have imagined years ago, and on January 28, another historic level will be met.

For the first time in history, the WWE Universe will see an all-women’s Royal Rumble match at the January classic.  This is just another example of how far women’s wrestling has come over the past few years.

Women’s wrestling has always been a hit or miss entity in the WWE, but the hits have been knockouts.  Most would consider the Attitude Era the peak of women’s wrestling, but as of late, that premise has been tested with a new crop of talent that is being put in positions women have never been put in before.

From top to bottom, the current roster of women in the WWE is the most talented the company has ever seen.  From Raw standouts such as Alexa Bliss, Bayley, and Sasha Banks to SmackDown standouts such as Charlotte Flair, Naomi, and Becky Lynch, women’s wrestling is in a great place.

If someone would have told you five or ten years ago that you’d eventually see a women’s Hell in a Cell match, Ironwoman match, Falls Count Anywhere match, or Money in the Bank ladder match, you may have been skeptical.  But the WWE universe has been treated to matches of that magnitude for women.

Moving past the divas era was very important and desperately needed, and the WWE did so in a big way.  And with the first all-women’s Royal Rumble match set for the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, what are some more big milestones for the women’s revolution to accomplish?  There have been noteworthy achievements to this point, but there are still several options women can be presented with in the future.

One idea would be when or if the main roster gets enough women to be able to pull off a women’s tag team division.  TNA had something like this in the past, but there has never really been much of a tag team championship scene among women’s wrestling.  But with how successful WWE’s tag team division has been in 2017, interest is growing for tag team wrestling again.

Having women’s tag team titles would be very cool to see if it ever becomes a realistic possibility.  It would require adding quite a bit more of talent, but with how NXT has been providing future stars as of late, it’s not inconceivable to believe it could happen sometime down the road.

Another idea would be to take one of the WWE’s best match styles from the 2000’s and incorporate women in the mix.  There has been a women’s Hell in a Cell match, but there has yet to be a women’s Elimination Chamber match.  This could be a really good idea if the situation presented itself.

With the amount of athleticism in the women’s division today, this match could be an absolute hit.  It would also help reinvent the Elimination Chamber concept that has seen much success over the years since its debut at Survivor Series 2002.

One idea that might seem like the ultimate long shot involves women at the grandest stage of them all.  Over the past few years, women have main evented Raw and SmackDown on many occasions and have even main evented pay-per-views as well.

But one show in particular would change everything if women could ever main event it, WrestleMania.  It likely would never happen given how serious the WWE takes the main event of WrestleMania.  After all, many all-time greats have never main evented a WrestleMania.

However, if women would ever get the opportunity to do so, it would be the single biggest moment in the history of women’s wrestling.  Depending on how the future of the women’s divisions go moving forward, you never know if Vince McMahon would ever allow this to happen.

It’s also conceivable to believe that the WWE could give women their own separate show rather than just being on Raw and SmackDown.  The exposure is great enough as it is now, but giving women their own separate platform would be unique and would give more underutilized women a better chance to shine.

These are just a few examples of where the women’s revolution could go in the future, but they would be huge moments.  The WWE has pushed the envelope with women’s wrestling, but pushing it to this level would change everything.
