The AEW women’s division has been a rollercoaster ride, like the stock market on election day—up, down, and all around! Despite having a roster that would make even the most seasoned wrestling promoter jealous, the division’s potential has been as elusive as a clear answer from a politician. For the longest time, fans felt like they were witnessing a grand buffet with only one entrée, as “AEW Dynamite” featured a mere single women’s match per week. Talk about a limited menu!
But hold onto your seats, folks! The AEW women’s division is undergoing a renaissance, a revival, a rebirth—like the Phoenix rising from the ashes or perhaps a political comeback after a scandal. AEW President Tony Khan, in a recent interview with WGN Radio, trumpeted that AEW now hosts the finest women’s wrestling on the planet. Yes, you heard it right, the finest. Better than a steak cooked just the way you like it.
Khan exclaimed, “I think right now, across the board, everyone thinks this is by far the best wrestling in the history of AEW in the women’s division, and I think we have the best women’s wrestling in the world right now. There’s more competition and more talent in the AEW women’s division than there’s ever been, and more big matches. I think by far 2024 has been the best year of the AEW women’s division, and I give so much of the credit to ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm, the World Champion, Mercedes Mone, the TBS Champion, and a lot of other great wrestlers like Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale.”
In 2024, the AEW women’s division has been on fire, hotter than a Fourth of July barbecue. Mercedes Mone’s debut hit a million views faster than you can say “viral sensation,” and the company has brought on Jennifer Pepperman, a major backstage figure, to keep the action sizzling. With STARDOM’s top-tier talent gracing AEW’s ring, it’s like a wrestling United Nations summit. Who knew diplomacy could be so thrilling?
