Women= Ratings??? 

 WWE does not have the best track record with regards to women's wrestling and treating it with respect. For years talented female competitors were labelled 'divas' and participated in various matches based on Sex Appeal rather than in ring talent such as the infamous 'Bra and Panties' match.

On the 14th and 15th January episodes of Monday night Raw and Tuesday Night Smackdown Live fans got a flashback to that era of womens wrestling in two similiar segments that aired. The one that aired on Monday night Raw had a stagehand interrupt Alexa Bliss while she was getting changed and she only had a top in her hand covering her upper body, the second segment had Mandy Rose wearing lingerie in a hotel room segment with WWE superstars Jimmy Uso. This was viewed as a surprise by most fans giving WWE's TV PG ratings and their emphasis on women's wrestling in recent years, holding their first all ever Women's pay per view back in October called 'Evolution'.

Regardless of the content, the content got alot of views, much more views than WWE content normally gets. Currently, the Mandy Rose segment has 3.4 Million views on Youtube and the Alexa Bliss segment has 6.2 Million views. Comparing this to WWE's other more conservative content, this got a lot more views than everything else, for comparison, the AJ Styles Daniel Bryan backstage brawl has 718 thousand views, much less than the women's risque segments.

Whether this means we will get a return where women will be rated more on their sex appeal in WWE rather than their in ring talent remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, it gets viewers, who knew?.
