Let’s talk about the AEW Women’s Division. Just after the one year mark for the promotion, the Women’s Division has become a rather complex topic. Reactions throughout social media seemed to be mixed throughout, and fans are scratching their heads at what is exactly going on. Everything that is going on in the AEW Women’s … Read more
The Royal Rumble is only a few days away and things haven’t exactly been that exciting in the lead-up to the second biggest (and my personal favourite) PPV of the year. As of now, there are only four confirmed competitors across the three brands, which doesn’t really give us any indication as to who will … Read more
Tessa Blanchard should be riding high right now. She’s one of the biggest stars in the world and she is now the first ever woman to become World Champion. However, that’s not the case for her. She has been plagued in the past couple of weeks with women from Allysin Kay to Rebel speaking out … Read more
The ever-exciting Royal Rumble event is rapidly approaching and it is only two weeks away. For the past two years, the women have finally been able to participate in a Royal Rumble Match of their very own. Asuka won the first, Becky Lynch won the second, and Naomi needs to win the third. Naomi has … Read more
Everyone loves a great return right? Especially when that return is one of your favorites. That feeling you get when their music hits for the first time in months (or longer) is what makes being a wrestling fan so great. Lately, with social media becoming the norm, it is harder for returns to be kept … Read more
I’ve done the top 10 matches. I’ve done the top 10 moments, now here are the top 10 wrestlers of 2019. There were a plethora of wrestlers to choose from and picking a 10 turned out to be a very tough choice but I managed to break down 20/30 contenders and finally creat a list … Read more
If anyone had a great first year on the main roster in 2019, there is no question Lacey Evans is in that conversation. The Sassy Southern Belle started off her year with a 25 plus minute showcase as the #1 entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble; and over the course of the year the staccato … Read more
2019 was full of amazing matches but wrestling is also about the moments that take place in and outside of the ring. There was also a tonne of amazing moments so I have compiled a list featuring 10 of MY favourites women’s wrestling moments of 2019. I am aware that there may be some glaring … Read more
Women’s Title reign lengths and numbers don’t mean anything. Here’s why. WWE has had an egregious record when it comes to booking champions, especially in the Women’s Division. Right now Becky Lynch and Bayley are enjoying lengthy reigns with their respective belts, but does it actually mean anything? No. Let’s look at Bayley. She’s had theoretically … Read more
2019 has been an amazing year for women’s wrestling. WWE and NXT’s women’s division has never been hotter. AEW’s growing division has brought women from all over the world offering new and fresh matchups, and IMPACT’s division has been going from strength to strength. The arrival of new companies and new television deals has given … Read more
It is funny to call this a return for the former Riott Squad member Liv Morgan frankly because she hasn’t gone anywhere. She hasn’t been out of action due to any circumstance beyond her control, she just hasn’t been utilized. After WrestleMania, she was moved to SmackDown during the Superstar Shake-Up which caused the break … Read more
Update: Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet and the Satin Sheet has confirmed through sources that Kairi Sane is not cleared to compete. The length of time is not known at this moment. WWE’s final pay-per-view of the year/decade TLC took place last night and the main event of The Kabuki Warriors vs Charlotte Flair … Read more
Last year I wrote a piece about women to watch in 2019. I enjoyed doing it so much that I thought I’d make it a tradition here on Diva Dirt. I have delved into indie scenes from all over the world and compiled a list of the wrestlers that I think will make their mark … Read more
Overall 2019 was another successful year for the women in WWE. Granted the second half of the year may have been a little lackluster minus a few great matches, the women continue to dominate. The year has been met with just as many highs as it has had lows. Perhaps the biggest moment of the … Read more
As a fan of AEW, one of my biggest gripes with the company has been its delivery of their women’s division. So far it felt lost and confused with little direction and purpose. The division could and should be so much more. They have the talent, the passion and the energy, however, something just hasn’t … Read more
A few years ago the catchphrase “No one is ready for Asuka” sent a powerful message throughout the women’s revolution as “The Empress of Tomorrow” left her path of destruction through NXT and WWE’s main roster. She went undefeated for 914 days before suffering her first loss at the hands of Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania … Read more
Rhea Ripley is in the midst of one of the hottest streaks in modern wrestling memory. In the month of November alone she has gone face to face with Becky Lynch on NXT, pinned Charlotte Flair on SmackDown, pinned Shayna Baszler to win NXT WarGames and pinned Sasha Banks to win the 15 woman elimination … Read more
Off of the heels of a, if I can be partial, fantastic WarGames and a pretty solid Survivor Series match, the women of WWE are sitting pretty high. While the men also killed it, history was made on the women’s side of things with their first ever “WarGames” match, and they delivered. Team Ripley showed … Read more
Survivor Series is right around the corner and it seems like we are in for a treat this year as RAW, SmackDown and NXT are pitted against each other for the very first time. I particularly enjoy Survivor Series for the cross-brand matches and I am really looking forward to this year’s installment, which takes … Read more
Picture this: Bayley, Becky Lynch, and Shayna Baszler are in the ring to determine who reigns supreme in the WWE Women’s Division. You have the SmackDown Women’s Champion, the Raw Women’s Champion, and the NXT Women’s Champion. Each woman has merit in their careers in terms of accomplishments and reputation. But nothing overshadows the portrait … Read more

We are all fans here, we are all passionate, and we, I have seen, will defend our favourites and drag … Read more
Hello readers! It’s been a while since we’ve gotten together to read, converse in the comments, so I’m back. In the words of Lil Kim, I’ve been gone for a minute, now I’m back with the jump off. This article, I’m going to look at my five favourite women’s wrestlers of all time. They’re in … Read more
This week ‘The Queen of Spades’ Shayna Baszler celebrated one year as the NXT Women’s Champion. Baszler is the only two-time NXT Women’s Champion. She is a polarizing champ at that but her background as a former UFC star makes her one of the most technically sound, vicious and dominant women in all of wrestling. … Read more
One year ago to the day the very first WWE all-female pay-per-view, Evolution took place at Uniondale, NY. The event saw women from RAW, SmackDown Live, and NXT compete in a night as unprecedented as it was monumental. We were treated to a plethora of superb matches such as Becky Lynch defending her SmackDown Women’s … Read more
