The Washington Post published an article on the women’s movement within WWE in recent years, titled, “The women wrestlers of WWE have created a movement. Is it built to last?” In the article, Triple H explained how WWE changed its outlook on how to recruit female talents. He stated the following:

“The first thing I noticed was the way we were working with our women. They were almost being told, ‘Don’t wrestle or perform like the men.’ I felt like that was fundamentally wrong. Instead of looking at women like it was a modeling agency, we went from an athletic standpoint. I wanted athletes that would be willing to embrace the grind we did, but deliver at a high level that is needed to be a WWE superstar.”

As previously reported, tickets went on sale for the ROH/NJPW G1 Supercard event set for Madison Square Garden in April 2019. Tickets quickly sold out for the event in minutes. Additionally, it appears WWE Superstars Sheamus and Drew McIntyre also tweeted out their thoughts on the news yesterday, which you can see below.

It’s not 100 percent clear Sheamus and McIntyre were commenting on the sellout, but that appears to be the case.

– WWE Superstar Natalya got the WWE Network Pick of the Week. her choice this week was the upcoming edition of Table For 3 featuring Natalya, Beth Phoenix, and Nia Jax. You can check out a clip below.
