Over the years, we have seen that WWE has been putting out excellent wrestling storylines and matches when it comes to men’s wrestling. But when it comes to women’s wrestling, they lack enthusiasm like Impact Wrestling or Stardom. This was somewhat rectified when the Women’s Evolution PPV made headlines. But that’s not enough, just like Nikki Bella said.

While Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley are giving their all to make the women’s division pop in the WWE, the company occasionally forgets the women who put them in this position in the first place. But as seen this past Monday, the prestige wrestling promotion forgot to showcase them, instead of showing all the male legends.

On the Tamron Hall show, the host asked the Bella Twins about their recent video about Raw is XXX. Nikki Bella promptly replied, “When you put your heart and soul into something, you want to be appreciated. For us female wrestlers, it was Raw XXX, 30th Anniversary. Throughout those 30 years, women have done a whole lot to make Raw what it is.

So when you have a three-hour show and it’s male-dominated and women aren’t being honored pretty much at all, you just sit back and you’re like, why aren’t we being appreciated? Why don’t you even have a video package showcasing what these incredible women have done?

The Bella twin brought up a very important topic of conversation, and Triple H needs to take notice. Not only did Raw is XXX did not mention any female legends, but they also cut down a steel cage match between Becky Lynch and Bayley because of the Tribal Court segment.

Women who should have been invited to Raw is XXX

Raw is XXX was an enormous deal for the entire company, including the female legends. Trish Stratus and Lita were the first women to main event Raw all those years ago. Also, legends like Jazz and Beth Phoenix reinvented the wheel when it came to Raw.

But they invited none of these women to this monumental event. This is why fans were in support of The Bella Twins when they posted the video about WWE declining to notice female legends on this big occasion for the company.
