Years ago under the Vince McMahon era, WWE’s women’s division was treated as a sideshow. In recent years, that has changed and under the Triple H era, there’s been even more emphasis on what the women can do in the ring.
Rhea Ripley has been pushed as one of the top stars of the company. Bayley is an unsung hero but this year at WrestleMania XL, she received her flowers when she was booked to defeat IYO SKY for the Women’s Championship.
The Undertaker has noticed the positive changes and the incredible depth on the women’s roster. While speaking on the “Six Feet Under” podcast, Taker commented on the depth of the women’s roster. On Rhea Ripley, Taker said:
“She’s really coming into her own. She’s obviously had a nice year but I think she’s only scratched the surface of how good she’s gonna be. In the women’s division, you got Jade Cargill.” He also praised Charlotte Flair, who is currently out with an injury.
Taker praised Bayley’s work and said, “She kind of got stuck in a slot for a while. A lot of times when that happens, sometimes people kind of give up and they kind of end up and be content in that mid-card range. I was really happy for Bayley to get her flowers there and show there’s a lot of gas left in the tank there.” He added, “The women’s division is deep.”
Ripley is also injured. Last week on Raw, Becky Lynch won a battle royal to win the vacant WWE Women’s World Championship. Another name who has stepped up is Liv Morgan, who seems primed to be pushed as a top heel.
