Will women matches in WWE ever get the headline slot on the match card of a pay-per-view?
While some fans would like to see it happen, Vince McMahon is apparently against the idea, according to Dave Meltzer.
Internally this is a big issue. The creative team is largely united in the belief of wanting Banks vs. Charlotte to go on last to make that point, that women can be the real main event. And doing so will elevate the standing of women’s wrestling in the company, and of Banks and Charlotte in particular.
The description was that this is still Vince’s sandbox, and right now it’s not likely to happen. The way we’re told is that Paul Levesque has also backed the creative team on the idea, but Vince is digging his heels in on this one and it’s led to a lot of frustration. As of Tuesday, the odds were against it happening, but Vince does change his mind and nothing is final.
I like the idea of women main eventing, but not for a ‘B’ pay-per-view. There will be more hype if they do it at one of the four major PPVs. Sasha, Charlotte, and the rest of the women’s division on both brands shouldn’t be discouraged. They’re fighting inside Hell in a Cell and history is still being made. The time to main event will eventually come.
