#3 Kenny Omega hopes AEW Rampage features more women's wrestling

AEW's Women's division has some of the best talents in all of wrestling. Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida, Thunder Rosa, Serena Deeb, Tay Conti, and Penelope Ford are just some of the most talented women on their roster.

However, according to fans, they are not featured sufficiently on AEW Dynamite. Most of the stars on the female roster have a lion's share of their appearances coming in Dark and Dark: Elevation.

World Champion Kenny Omega is hoping the new AEW show launching in August rectifies that. AEW Rampage premieres on Friday, August 13, 2021, and The Belt Collector would "love" if the new feature more women's wrestling. In an interview with Wrestling Observer Radio, the Best Bout Machine said:

"The content I think we're lacking is in our women's division. I would love to see Rampage be a home to more women's wrestling. I want people to see and appreciate and enjoy the talent we have to offer. I hope we get to show some of these matches that perhaps aren't seen by those people. We have a lot of great talent on Dark and people maybe don't want to watch our YouTube channel. Maybe they just want to watch Dynamite and want to see a television product. I get that. I think the extra hour with Rampage, rather than give them more Chris Jericho, more Kenny Omega, more MJF and the guys you know you're going to see on Dynamite; I'd rather give them all of the extremely talented individuals that maybe you don't see that week. I feel like we have incredibly gifted female wrestlers that have been working very hard and fighting for a spot and maybe it's time for them to get more. I think that would count as a variation on more women's wrestling. We always try to have a variant."

Kenny Omega is spot on with his assessment and hopefully, after AEW Rampage starts airing weekly, we get to see the women's division highlight the way it deserves to be.
