Trending
The event with the longest term implications for WWE, though, was the long-awaited debut of Io Shirai on Wednesday. Buckle up, women's division, because the ace of women's wrestling is here!
Widely regarded as the best female wrestler on the planet today, Io Shirai showed us why she's earned this reputation in only three short minutes, while leaving the door wide open to all of us wanting much, much more!
With a jaw-dropping in-ring skill set and magnetic charisma inside the squared circle, Io Shirai is set to take the NXT women's division by storm in short order, and given her command of the English language, might well do so on the main roster, too.
One thing's for sure - women's wrestling in WWE is never going to be the same again. You saw the next phase of the "evolution" begin this week.
