The Flawless Face-Off charges into Round 4, and if the last round was about spotlighting roles and personas, this one dives straight into the heart of storytelling. Here we’re talking bad booking, errors that became legends, promos that shaped careers, jaw-dropping shocks, and rivalries that defined the era. In short: this is the round where wrestling feels larger than life. Reminder, this era is considered from 2016 to 2021.
ONE VOTE PER CATEGORY PER PERSON
Looking Ahead
Round 4 is all about emotion, the frustrations of booking, the fire of promos, the sting of shocks, and the passion of rivalries. These categories cut right to the DNA of what made the Women’s Evolution Era unforgettable.
So here’s your chance: celebrate the wrestlers who should’ve been bigger and the errors that made DDW what it is, revisit the promos and shocks that stopped you in your tracks, and fight for your favorite feud. The next round of votes ends on Tuesday!
Here’s what’s on the ballot:

This is the chance to give them the recognition creative never did.
