In a recent chat with Steve Fall of The Ten Count podcast, AEW and ROH wrestler Maria Kanellis discussed the possibility of AEW producing an all-women’s show, such as WWE Evolution in 2018 and NWA EmPowerrr in 2021.
Kanellis had a surprising take on the subject, saying that while All Elite Wrestling has the talent, it might not be the right time to hold such a show.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On if AEW has enough talent to produce an all-women’s show: “Is there a possibility because of the amount of talent they have in AEW to have an all-women’s show? Of course. They are more than capable of doing so.”
On if it is the right time for such a show: “I also think you have to look at it from the perspective of bandwidth. How much can you put out there right now on the AEW side when you’re trying to take care of all of AEW’s brand, plus Ring of Honor? A smart person isn’t going to necessarily add more things unless they already know what every company and brand situation is going to be a month or six months from now.”
On if an all-women’s show makes sense from a business perspective: “I know we don’t like to look at things from a business perspective as wrestling fans, but there is that side. Is that the best use of time right now or now that we’re getting several women’s matches on pay-per-view that are highly rated, is it better to build that until you get to a place where now you know what your profit is going to be?”
