• Women Deserve To Main Event Survivor Series: WarGames, Says Top WWE Star
Survivor Series: WarGames is loaded this year. The men’s WarGames match pits Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, Roman Reigns and The Usos against Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Logan Paul.
The women’s side is just as stacked with Becky Lynch, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane), Nia Jax, Lash Legend facing Rhea Ripley, AJ Lee, IYO SKY, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair.
In an interview with Up & Adams Show, CM Punk said that the women should close this year’s Survivor Series.
“I think the women should be the main event, selfishly. I do probably think us guys will main event. There’s two titles involved in there. They’re not on the line, but star power is off the charts – but I also think the star power’s off the charts when it comes to the women.”
• “Be as h0e-y as possible, dress up to your a$$” – Becky Lynch Reveals WWE’s Early Demands From Female Stars
Becky Lynch has been in the wrestling business for more than two decades, starting her career in 2002 before signing with WWE in 2013. But according to her, the environment she entered was far from ideal for women trying to break into the company.
While WWE has undergone major changes in recent years, Lynch says the expectations for female talent were very different when she arrived.
Speaking on Something’s Burning with Bert Kreischer, Lynch recalled what the company wanted women to look like at the time.
“At the time when you were a girl in WWE, you always had to go to the shows in nice dresses. I was in NXT, so you have to be as h0e-y as possible, right? You have to be, like, dress up to your a$$, low as can be. Like this was the aesthetic. I didn’t suit the aesthetic, but I knew it.”
Lynch also revealed in the same interview that a male talent attempted to use his influence to control female wrestlers’ careers, threatening to blacklist women whether they rejected him or ended up sleeping with him.
