Hall of Women's Champions
9 Unseen Match Types
Iron WomanThere are many superstars in the division who are simply evenly matched. They'll go strike-for-strike and any given match-up can go either way. Women like Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, Emma, Paige, etc. have traded victories that have left us wondering who's really at the top of the division. But what if they got the chance to beat each other...again and again... and again. An Iron Woman match would allow these competitors to settle the score once and for all. And with 30 minutes, who knows how many falls they'd lock in.

Last Woman StandingThroughout 2019 plenty of feuds got personal in more ways than one. Whether about a title or not, some superstars just want to see their opponent out for the count. And sometimes a 3-count just isn't enough. Proving to your opponent that you will stop at nothing to see them lose is the ultimate way to see a feud end. Just think. What if Lacey Evans vs Alexa Bliss was a Last Woman Standing match? How about Becky Lynch vs Eve Torres? These feuds certainly called for them and if you ask us, there's not too many superstars who'd stay down for a 10-count.

2/3 FallsWhen making insults at each other, superstars will often turn to "that was just a fluke! You can't beat me again." Well a 2/3 Falls match would certainly nip that in the bud. Does a superstar actually have what it takes to secure two victories in a single match-up? What if Paige vs Naomi had a 2/3 Falls match rather than facing on two separate occasions, would Naomi have won the title? We'd find out if champions really have the stamina to go the distance or just manage to skate by from ppv-to-ppv.

Beat the ClockThis match type would certainly prove interesting as a #1 contender type of ordeal. Pushing competitors to beat each other as fast as possible, the Beat the Clock challenge forces superstars to compete head-to-head to prove who can show dominance the fastest. Some superstars like Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch are known for their high-caliber matches they put on in the ring time and time again, but could they end a match in minutes if they really wanted to? Only one way to find out.
|
Championship ScrambleIn this rare match type, the two superstars that drew #1 and #2 start the match. At a previously determined interval, such as 5 minutes, competitors continuously enter the match until everyone has entered. Superstars continuously score falls over each other but it is NOT elimination. Rather, whoever scored the most recent fall is the temporary champion. After all competitors are out, a designated time limit is set and whoever scores the last fall leaves the match as champion. Some people have what it takes to be champion for 5 minutes, while others could win the whole thing. This match is extremely opportunistic and could prove the perfect chance for someone like Maryse or Dana Brooke to capitalize on a situation and grab that brass ring.
|
Buried AliveFor some superstars, it's hard to leave the past in the past. I mean some people will simply be rivals forever and burying the hatchet seems nearly impossible. But, there could be a way to achieve that, one way being to quite literally bury your vendetta alive one and for all. The Buried Alive match is notoriously known for its cryptic images of superstars being engulfed by mounds of dirt. The only way to win is to push your opponent into the ditch and bury them by any means necessary. You think this could help Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch resolve their problems on Raw? How about Sasha Banks and Paige over on Smackdown. Nah? Didn't think so either, but it's worth a try.
|
SubmissionMany superstars in the division have a large variety of moves in their arsenal. Maryse has the French Kiss. Eva Marie has the Sliced Red. And nearly 50% of the roster probably has a submission move finish. So, why is it we haven't seen a submission-based contest? I mean what happens when the Bank Statement takes on the Emma Lock? In these matches, the ropes can't save you and quite frankly one Dis-Arm-Her through the ropes and you're 3 minutes from losing your arm. These contests would be grueling and force opponents to pull out counter after counter. Or even force certain superstars *cough* Alexa Bliss *cough* to freshen up their move-set.
|
WargamesTwo rings. Two cages. Anything goes. The rules of this match are simple: two people from opposite teams start the match and every few minutes members of each team flood the cage until everyone has entered. Tables broken, chairs smashed, and bodies battered. But, Wargames has only started when everyone entered. This battle for supremacy puts two (or even 3) factions, some being uncohesive, in a battle where there is no escape. Cause the second someone escapes, they've lost the match. Could this help Charlotte and Becky settle their issues? Could Team B.A.D. prove they're superior once and for all. Could Maryse bring back a diva army to start the takeover? Let's start the war and find out.
|
I QuitThere's no doubt in my mind that every superstar has heart. Every superstar has passion, right? But which superstars have quit in them? An I Quit match would certainly prove that. In these contests, similar to a Last Woman Standing, anything goes and the goal is to incapacitate your opponent by any means necessary. Except in this case you want them conscious enough to admit they surrender. The ultimate embarrassment would be for a superstar to admit they can endure a match no longer. Think about an I Quit match contested for a title. We'd really find out who deserved to go to the back of the line for giving up an opportunity like that. Or if the champs really deserve to be in their positions. Cause between me and you, this wouldn't be the first time Alexa or Sasha wanted to quit, and it wouldn't be the last.

8 Returns We'd Like to See at Royal Rumble '20
MariaMaria made a bold statement attacking Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss on the first episode of the draft. She proved she can hang with today's crop of women when she defeated AJ Lee at TLC in a hardcore match no less. Who knows what she'd do with a ticket to Wrestlemania. Reinstate the Divas Title?
|
Eve TorresEve made waves announcing she was the new general manager of Smackdown in Jaunary 2019. However, mixing business with pleasure often landed her in hot water as she wasn't afraid of mixing it up with her talent. Although, she may have been forced to quit at Summerslam 2019, she's surely still in Vince's good graces. And with Becky Lynch looking towards Wrestlemania and the woman who's job she took, Summer Rae, back in action, we'd surely love to see Eve turn heads one more time.
|
Scarlett BourdeauxScarlett came into the WWE with one goal in mind: to make wrestling sexy again. During her short tenure she made strides by competing and winning the first bra and panties match. Recruiting divas past and present to the division she sought to change the landscape once and for all. Since Maryse is confirmed for Rumble, could we see her former tag partner come to the rescue? I for one would love the Rumble to be sexy again.
|
CarmellaThe Princess of Staten Island has never been afraid to get scrappy and do whatever it takes to rise to the occasion. Her last appearance was at Hell in a Cell where she unsuccessfully defended the Raw Women's title in a performance that won the hearts of the crowd. Rumble would prove the perfect opportunity for her to cash her ticket straight to Wrestlemania. After all she could get revenge on Alexa Bliss and become the first 2x Raw Women's Champion. There's only one way to make this Rumble money, and that's 'Mella.
|
NatalyaNatalya quickly became a fan favorite over the summer, entertaining the crowd with her witty remarks and punchlines. The last time we saw her was at Summerslam where she dazzled the crowd with her cat-filled entrance in tow to her Smackdown Women's title match. Rumble could be Natalya's chance to silence the critics and capture that elusive title. Or at the very least she could silence Bianca Belair who was a thorn in her side on Smackdown. Surely, Natalya vs Alexa Bliss or Sasha Banks would prove to be a show stealer.
|
Dana BrookeDana Brooke's relentless attitude and determination to succeed makes her someone the crowd can't help but get behind. She showed heart more than ever at Survivor Series representing Smackdown in not 1, but 2 matches. Hanging with the likes of Ember Moon in the final 2 for her team proved she can go the distance. Heck, she was final 2 at Hell in a Cell where she nearly defeated Becky Lynch. Brooke has the tools to succeed but she just needs the right opportunity. And Rumble? Well that's her perfect opportunity.

Stacy KeiblerStacy Keibler has never been afraid to call the shots when it comes to her career or those of her Raw superstars. While unable to please everyone, she was determined to make Raw the superior brand, and she proved just that at Survivor Series 2019. She even went as far as to defeat Smackdown General Manager Torrie Wilson for the effort. Like Eve Torres, Keibler wasn't afraid to get involved in matches. Since leaving for vacation, she left friend Candice Michelle in charge who followed specific directions. Which included pestering AJ Lee and Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss. What would she do face-to-face with Lee? Keibler's defeated Bliss before but could she do it at Wrestlemania for the title? We'd love to know.
|
Alicia FoxAlicia Fox has never hesitated to take her body to the limits to achieve success. Having competed in both the first steel cage and tables matches, she demonstrated her desire to succeed no matter what it takes. After her short break in 2019, fans were itching to see Fox in action once again but were disappointed when she quietly disappeared following TLC. As a fan favorite, we'd love to see Fox finally get a title shot on a big stage. At the same time she could exact a few measures of revenge. We're looking at you Summer Rae.
