WWE Women’s Division “Frustrated” With Booking

[DuckSlams]

A number of stars in WWE’s women’s division are said to be unhappy over their booking as WrestleMania approaches.
While the top 2 championships have a clear direction, the other Women’s Championships and top stars of the division do not have a clear path for WrestleMania 41.

Plenty Of Women In WWE Said To Be Frustrated​

While speaking on Fightful’s The Hump, Sean Ross Sapp addressed a question that was first asked on Fightful Select’s Discord server regarding the frustration, where it was asked if the frustrations are at the level they were back at Royal Rumble 2022 “or just frustrations about certain things.” Elaborating on the point, Sean Ross Sapp said the following:

“Somebody asked about women’s booking and I said, yes, I have spoken with plenty of women in WWE who are frustrated about the booking of the women. This is not a new thing. It’s nowhere near Royal Rumble 2022-level…but there has been a situation where a women’s WWE performer has reached out to me and said, ‘Dude, can you find out if I’m listed internally as a heel or babyface?’ And I’m like, ‘Damn, okay.’ I know there have been some Mania pitches that have been rejected because people are like token tag matches aren’t something that they want to do.
“They want things put on a more even plane in the women’s division. The contracts are going up, viewership is adjusted accordingly for when women are on-screen, it’s not the sideshow or anything like that, it’s a part of the show. You’re adding more titles, add more matches, all that stuff. There’s a lot of people that have been parked. For example, I’m not going to say Natalya is frustrated, they signed Natalya, they wanted to keep Natalya, they had creative plans for Natalya. And then what’s Natalya done since then? Hasn’t done anything, hasn’t been on NXT, hasn’t been doing anything.”

Other Rumoured Matches For WWE WrestleMania​

While there has been little reported regarding possible matches in the women’s division, recent reports have indicated who Jacob Fatu and AJ Styles will be facing at WrestleMania 41.

As the biggest show of the year approaches, 2 matches are locked in for the event as Tiffany Stratton will defend her WWE Women’s Championship against Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair and the winner of the Women’s Elimination Chamber match will challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship.

Booking Charlotte to win the rumble . I'm not surprised. Other women have been doing well and it was blatant nepotism booking by hunter and it's the first critical thing I've said about him. Should of been someone. New or is he going after Charlotte passing the torch to Tiffany. Cena or Punk ( notwithstanding he didn't wrestle for ten years but hasn't won 16 world titles ) doing the same. Whilst on Raw Elevating Jey Uso if he wins just as he has Gunther the last few years.

Seems like their matches are getting longer though.
