Intergender matches have been a taboo subject in WWE for a long time, and the promotion has made it a point to actively stay away from these kinds of matches. Back in early 2019, WWE teased intergender wrestling by putting Nia Jax in the Men's Royal Rumble match, followed by a segment involving her and Dean Ambrose, but nothing came of it.
There was a time when Intergender matches used to occasionally take place on WWE TV and PPVs. Back in 2003, Chris Jericho and Christian took on Trish Stratus and Lita in an Intergender Tag Team match and won it in the end. Chyna used to regularly face men when she was the Intercontinental Champion.
Things have changed quite a bit since then, but there are still a bunch of WWE Superstars who are down to have intergender matches. On the other hand, there are a few who are against these competitions.
#5 Ronda Rousey thinks intergender wrestling isn't a great idea
It's interesting to learn Ronda Rousey's view on the topic of intergender wrestling, when her very first match in WWE saw her locking horns with WWE EVP Triple H. While speaking with The Daily Beast way before she made it to WWE, The Baddest Woman On The Planet completely slammed the idea of a man taking on a woman in a fight on TV.
I don’t think it’s a great idea to have a man hitting a woman on television. I’ll never say that I’ll lose, but you could have a girl getting totally beat up on TV by a guy—which is a bad image to put across. With all the football [domestic violence] stuff that’s been happening, not a good idea. It’s fun to theorize about and talk about, but it’s something that’s much better in theory than fact.
Ronda Rousey hasn't wrestled since her loss at WWE WrestleMania 35
Rousey teamed up with WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle to take on Stephanie McMahon and Triple H at WrestleMania 34, in her first match in WWE. She battled Triple H one-on-one at various points during the match, and the exchange garnered a huge reaction from the live crowd.
Rousey and Angle emerged victorious in the end, and the match was dubbed by many as the best bout from that show. She never wrestled a male Superstar in WWE in singles competition, and her final outing was against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in the main event of WrestleMania 35.
#4 Bayley wants to be a part of intergender wrestling
Bayley is currently a top Superstar on SmackDown and is doing an incredible job as a heel on WWE TV. Bayley has been a part of WWE for a long time now and has made a name for herself in all the three major brands. She has expressed her views on intergender wrestling in the past and is ready to wrestle men if the opportunity arises.
I would love for intergender matches to start happening again, it happened in the past when you had Lita teaming with The Hardy Boyz and Eddie (Guerrero) getting involved with Chyna, with things happening like Nia Jax in the Men's Royal Rumble there's a possibility there and I would love any part of that.
Bayley is one of the biggest Superstars on WWE SmackDown
Bayley has proven time and again that she is capable of having amazing bouts on a regular basis. It would be nothing short of intriguing to see a heel Bayley take on a male wrestler in the ring if WWE ever decides to bring back intergender wrestling.
#3 Seth Rollins finds intergender wrestling 'unrealistic'
While WWE Superstar Becky Lynch seems completely down to wrestle intergender matches, her real-life partner Seth Rollins isn't thrilled with the concept and made it quite clear that he finds it unrealistic.
I think let's live in a reality a little bit here, I am not saying women aren’t as good as men because that is not the case.
But there is a reason when you go to the Olympics there are mens and womens [sports], there is a reason you have mens and womens soccer, mens and womens basketball.
Seth Rollins has been a part of a few Mixed Tag Team matches in WWE
Seth Rollins did wrestle a bunch of Mixed Tag Team matches alongside Becky Lynch, back in 2019 when WWE used them as a couple on TV. They took on King Corbin and Lacey Evans in the main event of WWE Extreme Rules, and one of the sequences saw Corbin putting down Lynch with End Of Days. This left Rollins seething with anger, and he unleashed a brutal attack on Corbin, soon after which the babyface duo won the match.
#2 Dolph Ziggler wants to face Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania
WWE veteran Dolph Ziggler has been a mainstay on RAW/SmackDown for a long time at this point. Ziggler's resume speaks for itself, and he is regarded by many as the best seller in WWE. Ziggler has wrestled with a variety of talents throughout his career. He was the one WWE chose to make Goldberg look good at SummerSlam 2019, and he didn't disappoint one bit.
A while ago, Ziggler was asked by a fan who would he pick as an opponent for a WrestleMania match next year.
Dolph Ziggler vs Ronda Rousey in a WWE ring is certainly something unique
Ziggler gave a short and clear-cut answer and mentioned Ronda Rousey's name. The Baddest Woman On The Planet wrestled her last match in the main event of WrestleMania 35, where she lost the RAW Women's title to Becky Lynch. She hasn't been seen on WWE TV ever since, and it seems highly unlikely that we will ever see Rousey on WWE TV ever again.
Dolph was involved in a popular angle with Otis on the road to WrestleMania 36 earlier this year, and the eventual match saw Otis defeating him with the help of Mandy Rose.
#1 Triple H feels women don't need to wrestle men to succeed
WWE EVP Triple H has done a lot to bring women's wrestling to the forefront. His work in NXT has been instrumental in putting the spotlight on women and making the Women's Revolution a big success. Back in late 2018, The Game talked with Manny Tsigas and answered a bunch of questions. Here are some of Triple H's statements when asked about his thoughts on intergender wrestling.
Women WWE Superstars don't need a man to make them successful in the ring. They don't need a man to step in the ring with them to make them have a spectacular match.
To say for a female to prove that she is empowered she has to compete against a man, or to have a man in the ring with her to be able to do what she does at a high enough level? No, you know what makes a female empowered? When she is so good with another female in the ring that no man on the card can stand up to them.
Triple H will take the reigns of WWE from Vince McMahon in the future
In the future, Triple H is set to take the helm from Vince McMahon, alongside his wife Stephanie McMahon. Judging by his thoughts on intergender wrestling, it's safe to assume that WWE won't be bringing this concept back anytime soon.
