But AEW's rehash of that story is somehow even worse because it shows that despite the progress WWE begrudgingly made, AEW took things a step backward, requiring the company to need to solve that exact same problem nearly a decade later. In that case, nearly ten years ago, WWE was congratulating itself on finally trying to solve a problem of its own making: the disrespectful booking of women as nothing more than sex objects (even as other companies like Impact had been treating their Knockouts division with respect for years). Britt Baker and Jade Cargill are presented well, but AEW's booking has pretty much failed every woman on the roster, including champions like Hikaru Shida, Thunder Rosa, and Toni Storm.įirst of all, why is Saraya being presented as a "revolution" or a savior of the AEW women's division? By definition, this implies that the division needs saving, which is giving me severe flashbacks to WWE's attempts to transition out of the Divas era. The running complaint is that AEW only ever books the women in one segment on every episode of Dynamite, and that's more-or-less true, but the situation has only gotten worse as the company adds more and more talent while the booking situation never changes. Since basically the inception of the company, people have been complaining that AEW doesn't really seem to respect its own female talent. I'm not sure what the intended outcome of that segment last night was, but regardless of the execution (which was not great), I don't see how it could have possibly worked out in AEW's favor.
