Another Intergender tag match planned for WrestleMania

WrestlingRumors.net are reporting that "The WWE Tag Team Championship match between Team Hell No and the team of Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston at WrestleMania 29 will be changed to a six-person mixed-gender tag match.

WWE hinted at an AJ/Kaitlyn feud a couple weeks ago, though the Divas Champion was absent from this past week’s episode of RAW. It is possible the two ladies will be inserted into the match, at which point both titles would go to whichever team wins the match.

Though changes are constantly happening in terms of the show rundown, WWE is attempting to get things set just days from its biggest event of the entire year."

HOW EXCITING!!! Does this mean the Phat Jobbers match will be moved to the pre-show? Which will be disappointing

This just goes to show how important the diva division is to the WWE, I know a lot of us joke about "toilet breaks" but WWE are hardly going to change that if they keep booking the division like this.

I miss the days of Lita, Trish and Chyna.

I don't, I couldn't give a monkey's about the womans division, never have never will, there is some extremely talented famales out there but womans Wrestling just doesn't interest me, use them for what they are, eye candy, valets, trouble making gf's ect...Wrestlers? Nope not for me

Can I ask why? As long as the wrestlers are talented gender shouldn't matter should it?

I think I'm with Kay Fabe here, I find it extremely difficult to buy into female wrestling, it's most likely for the same reasons as why women's football is harder to watch than men's because over time and exposure men's wrestling has become a much better honed craft.

I also think women's matches are irritating with their screeching and you rarely see as good moves in a women's match as a men's.

Not all womens wrestling though, only wwe and TNA
Shimmer, Shine, Bellatrix etc are all awesome

I don't buy into them, simple, they don't interest me

How many tickets do you think a Diva's match will sell for WrestleMania? What about PPV buys?

Do you think many of 'the Universe' would buy a PPV or a ticket on the back of a feud between two woman?

I'd hardly think they percentage would reach 1%

Like I say, there's some seriously talented females out there, its just not my bag

I accept that and agree on some level but if WWE improved the talent of the division then I'd be happy to watch them and buy in to it...Shame that WWE hires looks over talent most of the time.

I'm worried that when Paige eventually makes her way to the main show's she'll be used as a valet for someone like Seth Rollins because they have that emo look that goes together instead of letting her show her talents.

she will be let to show her talents
Triple H likes her and if they were going to water her down they would have done so in NXT
just wont be moved up until she turns 21

I really like female wrestling if done well (and womens football for that matter), there was a time when it could be argued that AJW delivered the best in-ring product in the world in the mid-90's.

I'm not going to quibble with people over whether it's there thing or not but I don't think it can be argued and has been shown (most recently by the great days of the Kim v Kong headlined TNA Knockouts) that a band of capable female workers, with unique personalities who are given time to show them, can get over with a large section of the crowd.

It's the same logic I think you could apply to Tags, Crusiers and any other neglected divisions that play second fiddle to the heavyweights in US companies, variety is key to wrestling and if done right I think women call fill an essential part on the card.

Boom!

Kaitlyn may be on the card after all, that's what I am talking about.

With all due respect it should be Team Hell No vs Ziggler/Big E and AJ vs Kaitlyn in seperate bouts but I'll take what I can get.

She looks like a right dirty!

Who is that girl that is apparently Snoop Doggs cousin? Surely that is an angle (potentially profitable one at that) waiting to be picked up?

All women's wrestling is boring, unless its bra and panties.

Toilet break time.

Agree completely.

I think a lot of the naysayers haven't watched the TNA Knockouts. True, they get limited exposure, but I've been watching for a few years now and reckon the best female wrestlers are at least as talented and good to watch as all but the best male wrestlers. Can't really say much about character development and acting ability as far as selling storylines goes due to the aforementioned limited exposure, but in the ring they are just fine and get over well with the audience.

If more effort was put into developing the female wrestling scene I'm sure we'd be raving about them as much as the heavyweights.

I actually think TNA are just as bad for neglecting womens wrestling than the WWE, in fact I'd say they were worse given how much critical acclaim they came in for when they had that division running properly, at least in fairness to the WWE they've never cared

I think Sasha Banks in NXT is Snoop's cousin. If they were going to use it as an angle, they could use the Funkadactyls, as Brodus Clay used to be one of his bodyguards.

If they can't get the men's division right,what's the chances of a women's being right?

Who are we talking about here? Because I don't think either company is doing an awful job right now, not everything is perfect but thats wrestling

It's a fact.

Oh well sorry about that, I didn't realise it was a fact, I'll move along then

Well can't argue that point really. Why should I care about the women's division when the e clearly doesn't?

Sorry I didn't realise you were reffering to the women's division, that is a fact

I thought your comments on the heavyweights were a little harsh though, would you like to expand on them?

The ic,us titles mean absolutely nothing. The whc hasn't meant nothing for years,the tag team division is nowhere to be seen( hence why ziggler has been thrown into it just to get him on the card)

Wwe championship is a prop tbh Cena has barely mentioned it in the feud where's it should be the primary objective

I agree about everything apart from the WWE Title being a prop, it's important but to get the story across then Cena needs to go on about redemption and getting one back on The Rock...it helps show Cena's state of mind and tease the fans with a heel turn getting them interested.

I think that's a fair assessment of the belts situation. That's why I loved Punk's reign so much because it was ALL about the belt and nothing else. Ok a little bit about gaining respect but that was because of him carrying the belt and not getting respect. I think they should go back to the days where you would get the belts defended on raw/smackdown and have much more title changes. Its keeps things fresh and enhances the show and the belt as a whole. I used to love watching smackdown when there was a belt on the line between 2002-06.

Ok a prop is going to far but the only guy who carries the belt well is Cena purely because its in the main event every single time. Punks reign was alright but he always played second fiddle to Cena all the way through it unfortunately

On a side note living colour will be playing for punk to and from the ring.

Ah sweet I was hoping they would do it at some point. Like when motorhead played in Triple H I think it just adds something.

To AND from, normally the guy losing doesn't get music as they leave the ring so that makes me think one of two things...either he gets the win OR WWE will try and run with the respect ending (can't see either though really).

That's the point TO and FROM,just punk being arrogant and cocky heel I guess.
