When it comes to pro wrestling, women have made great strides toward equality. The TNA Knockouts division started it all in the mid 2000s, highlighting in ring action and technical acumen rather than gimmicks like bra and panties matches.

WWE picked up the ball and ran with it, developing one of the strongest women's rosters in recent memory. Featuring stars like Asuka, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Nia Jax, the division has become so popular that it even had its own PPV.

Many fans wondered if AEW was going to feature women's wrestling. AEW COO Brandi Rhodes made a major announcement that shocked the wrestling world. Not only will AEW feature what they described as a 'very competitive' women's division, they were also going to pay the women equal to the men. This was shocking in wrestling, where male stars might make ten times as much as their next closest female co worker.
