Things were rough for the women in 2008. Despite their roster slowly improving thanks to workers like Beth Phoenix and Natalya, the focus was still on the wrestling itself.

As a result, all of the most important women were thrown together in a traditional survivor series elimination match. The problem here was that, while the effort was clearly there, the story was not.

Few of these women were been given a chance to explain to the fans why they were wrestling and why the fans should care about them. This is why the elimination match felt so inconsequential. It didn’t lead to anything important, and most of the action was threadbare at best.

Unfortunately, this sort of booking was a sign of things to come all the way until 2015 with the begininning of the women's revolution in WWE.
