AEW star Dustin Rhodes has said that the company’s women’s division needs to be more like the division in WWE.
In 2015, WWE shifted its focus in their women’s division, allowing for longer matches and more prominent storylines.
Speaking on Thunder Rosa’s Taco Vlog, Dustin discussed the two promotions, saying:
“You girls, there are a lot of people that do reach out to me here and want help and knowledge, but from day one, it started with Britt and Bea Priestley, they had a hell of a match. We started hiring more girls, I was diving in with them, and I started having training sessions just because I wanted to. I wanted the women’s division to get somewhere other than where it was at. WWE has done a good job at that, but I want to see AEW do that.
“It’s not because I don’t like the guys. I truly see the desire in you ladies and how you want to make it to that next step. That means a lot to me because I like the challenge to get you guys there, in any way possible. I want to lead you there because I care. A lot of people may think that’s weird, but I truly do. I found a calling and I love to train with you girls, talk to you, mentor you, listen to your problems, hug you if you’re crying. It means a lot to me.
AEW currently has two female champions, AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa and AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill.
