The All Elite Wrestling\u00a0<\/strong>women\u2019s division is an interesting case, to say the very least. As they proceed to take steps forward, their booking pushes them two steps back. The division has come a long way since the start of the company, but there are still issues keeping them from getting to that next level. Here are some of those issues and a few possible solutions they could put into play to help the AEW women’s division.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lingering Problems<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lack of Pay-Per-Views With Multiple Women\u2019s Matches<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

AEW announced the full card for Double Or Nothing<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and there was something painfully obvious about the card. Something that has become a common theme for these big shows is that there is only one women\u2019s match to be seen. Of course, they don\u2019t need to fill the card complete with women\u2019s matches, but having more than one would do wonders. It would help the women get big show experience and show that the company has enough faith to put them in a big spot like that. <\/span><\/p>\n

There have been many men\u2019s matches in the past that were not pay-per-view quality matches. However, they got on the card, and it could attribute to the next issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jade<\/p>\n

Failure to Be Able to Have 2 Storylines Going at Once for the AEW Women’s Division<\/h3>\n

Some of those matches that made PPV, but weren’t up to par, had a reason they made the card. They often had stories added to them along the way, so there was an excuse. They had feuds that had been built on TV for weeks that would lead them to PPV. The AEW women’s division <\/span>has an issue that they\u2019ve always had: they fail to have multiple women\u2019s storylines going on at one time. It\u2019s like they have to handle the storylines one at a time. This is only hurting the division, even if you argue they want to focus on the AEW Women’s World Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

As seen in the Britt Baker<\/strong> and Thunder Rosa<\/strong> rivalry, as well as Jade Cargill<\/strong> versus Red Velvet<\/strong>, undercard feuds can help establish wrestlers. This can be in regard to their in-ring or character work. These mini-feuds will do nothing but help them improve and showcase the talent in the division that will eventually be colliding for the Women’s World Championship. However, the feuds also need time, which brings us to the next issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

AEW Needs to Give Proper TV Time to the Women<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some small one-show feuds have been built on AEW Dark<\/strong> and Dark: Elevation<\/strong>, but they should be on Dynamite<\/strong>. It\u2019s very simple that more people are going to tune into Dynamite as opposed to the weekly YouTube shows. If they build up someone on Dark and slap them on Dynamite, the viewers who don\u2019t watch either YouTube show will be confused. In addition, AEW has a big issue giving the division proper TV time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes AEW hits a one-match quota with the women where they do one five-minute match, and they feel like that\u2019s enough. They may also air one promo and leave matters there. The AEW women’s division needs multiple segments and more match time. They aren\u2019t going to be able to showcase their talents and gain TV experience when they receive less time than the average AEW men\u2019s in-ring segment.<\/span><\/p>\n

AEW Dynamite will be moving to TBS in 2022 and a new show called AEW Rampage will debut on TNT on Friday, August 13 \ud83c\udf7f<\/p>\n
