WWE needs an all-female PPV and the fantasy booking

Looking back at the history of the women's division, WWE relegated women as the sideshow and eye candy rather than wrestlers. This would be done from having bikini contests, bra and panties bouts, 3-minute matches and not putting them all the time on the main card for PPVs like Judgement Day and Backlash and even some of the Big 4 events such as SummerSlam and WrestleMania. It wasn't because the talent wasn't good but it was more WWE sacrificing female matches to give more time to the men's and tag team divisions. And even if the women were given their rightful matches, they didn't receive a good amount of ring time to work their matches to the best potential.

Since the call-ups of former NXT stars Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch in Summer 2015, WWE has offered first-ever matches like Hell In A Cell and Royal Rumble, called the women "Superstars" rather than "Divas", putting forth their first all-women's tournament aka the Mae Young Classic and has given the women more time in the 4 sided ring. This allowed many great wrestlers like Banks, Flair, Asuka, Ember Moon, Lynch and Ronda Rousey to elevate the women's division to beyond.

According to a report from Pro Wrestling Sheet, WWE has had heavy discussions of a women's PPV for the Fall season, so we could be on our way for the very first event featuring only female wrestlers.

A Women's PPV can be beneficial to gain exposure to the whole women's roster, allow WWE to expand on new projects and it would be an incredible event to celebrate Women's Wrestling.

But here is what WWE should do for this special PPV event and how it should be booked.

When and where?

Women's wrestling has certainly increased popularity throughout these last few years but it isn't at its peak yet. Throughout every week on Raw, Smackdown and NXT, women have roughly featured 15% whilst the men are predominately on the screens as their roster is massively big than the women's roster across the whole of WWE.

Having The Women's PPV in a big stadium may not be the best idea as women's wrestling isn't fully accepted from the minority fans as they aren't so high on women in wrestling and it would be far too risky, possibly not selling as many tickets like the regular cross-brand PPVs.

This event should be in a respectful, medium to small size arena from a 5,000 capacity downwards. For example, Full Sail University and their fans have shown how good they are in their NXT tapings but also for their previous tournaments of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Tournament, Mae Young, and CruiserWeight Classics, the crowd is energetic and lively every show and the space is really good. This would be a perfect place to host the first all-women's PPV.

In terms of when it should happen, it could easily happen around September-October, if not early next year. Having the Women's PPV around Fall would be great as it would be happening during the Mae Young Classic. WWE could easily add the Finals match of the tournament into this PPV to present it overall as a fun, exciting but important event.

Involve women from the past, present and future

There are several women who gave it their all during their eras but due to the stigma of women being eye candy than wrestlers, it held back the whole women's division and was excluded from wrestling to their fullest potential. This PPV needs to recognize the women who didn't receive the opportunities of what the women have today and what better way to reward these females by giving them some matches against today's generation.

You could have a match with Nia Jax and Beth Phoenix, two of the most powerful women in WWE history or a dream match with the Iconics vs Lita and Trish Stratus, two teams who have been influential during their years as competitors in WWE. You could also have surprise appearances such as Hall of Fame Inductees Alundra Blayze, Jacqueline and Ivory and even reunions such as Michelle McCool and Layla aka LayCool. WWE can go anyway with this but they should absolutely involve the past superstars to not only increase attention for this event but to honor many greats such as Trish Stratus, Lita, Molly Holly, Candice Michelle, Melina, Michelle McCool, Eve Torres and others.

NXT stars such as Candice LaRae, Kairi Sane, Bianca Belair and Dakota Kai could also make their presence felt, with some may challenge the superstars of Smackdown and Raw or even debut as a member of the main roster. With the upcoming NXT UK brand, the Second Mae Young Classic Tournament and new signing additions on the way, WWE could easily debut some world class wrestlers into the main roster too with the likes of Piper Niven, Mia Yim, Toni Storm, Kaitlyn and more.

By involving women from the past generations and the upcoming, it would make it a can't miss event and definitely give this PPV a large amount of attraction.

All Championships must be defended (with a possible new title introduced)

The Raw, Smackdown & NXT Women's Titles are the only titles for the women's division

One way to make this PPV exciting is to have the Raw, Smackdown and NXT Women's Championships all on the line. Currently, Alexa Bliss holds the Raw Women's Championship, Carmella is the Smackdown Women's Champion and Shayna Baszler has the NXT Women's Championship. But that could change by the time this PPV happens.

Making the Women's Championships being defended on the PPV would be a great way to bring more prestigious to those titles but also highlight them as the main titles on a night where women take over. For example, placing the Raw Women's Championship as the main event of this PPV would feel like a major headlining and would give the fans some interest to watch the show and the growth of Women's Wrestling.

There have been rumblings of a Women's Tag Team Championship and what better way to debut the title then to do it the Women's PPV.

This PPV is perfect to add another title for the women's division especially with the existing teams of the Iconics, Riott Squad, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville and even addition of the Bella Twins and NXT teams, it would be a great introduction for those championships. They could possibly announce those the debut of those titles at the PPV or host a tournament with the finals culminating in the all-female show. With the amount of the talent WWE has, it is only fair if WWE adds another championship to a stacked overall women's division.

Weekly Women-only shows

Currently, they are 25 women on the main roster (if you include Zelina Vega and the injured Tamina and Ruby Riott), perhaps the biggest roster full of women in WWE history. The problem WWE faces every week is only a small number of wrestlers get featured and the rest are either in random tag team matches or not being put on TV. This would prevent many women from elevating their status as a competitor.

WWE should announce a weekly women's show every Thursday to allow lower card women to have storylines on that show so they can still progress and climb the rankings of their Raw and Smackdown women's divisions.

One crucial thing WWE must do is to ensure that they don't remove the women from Raw and Smackdown at all. Women in the WWE are still an integral part of the company and if they were to leave their brands, it would firstly ruin the brand split and the championships, it would result in the same problem of lack of time for underutilized talents and it would be a big segregation from the rest of the company. The main women's storylines can be played out on the main shows aka Raw and Smackdown and the minor stories can settle in the women's weekly show.

Match card for Women's PPV (Fantasy booking)

After looking through what this PPV should have and what is needs to happen, here is a fantasy match card for this women's only event.

Women's Battle Royal of Raw, Smackdown and NXT superstars (winner challenges for their brand's championship in the future)

Mae Young Classic Final (winner faces NXT Women's Champion at the next Takeover event)

Women's Tag Team Championship- Iconics vs Ronda Rousey and Natalya

Michelle McCool vs Charlotte Flair (Past vs Present)

Smackdown Women's Championship- Becky Lynch (champion) vs Asuka

Beth Phoenix vs Nia Jax (Past vs Present)

Trish Stratus vs Sasha Banks (Past vs Present)

Raw Women's Championship- Mickie James (champion) vs Ruby Riot vs Ember Moon

WWE has come a long way from the way they handle women on TV and as wrestlers in the company. A women's PPV would be the biggest step forward no matter what and could be one of the most unique and fun events in WWE.
