#1 Impact and ROH’s female talents are mostly out of luck

WWE has expanded its female locker room aggressively in recent years, with more women enjoying featured spots on both Raw and SmackDown Live, a consistently buzzing women’s division in NXT, and the Mae Young Classic showcasing other talents on short term bases.
There are some very good female talents working for Impact and Ring of Honor today. Women like Tessa Blanchard, Rosemary, and Tenille Dashwood. However, it’s hard to say that WWE has really been trying to acquire these talents. In fact, in a number of cases, WWE either had them, or had the clear opportunity to sign them, but passed.
Barring the invention of a new women’s brand, there would likely as not be some big cuts to the women’s roster if WWE did acquire both of these companies and their wrestlers’ contracts. Of course, these talents going without a home base may represent a huge opportunity for All Elite Wrestling in creating its own roster.
