According to f4wonline WWE has been contacting women talent for dates in mid-May for a taping for the beginning of a women’s tournament on the WWE Network similar to the cruiserweight tournament.

Plans for this tournament have been in place since August of last year but WWE had not finalized on a date.

Over the past few months WWE has hired a plethora of women’s talents such as Heidi Lovelace, Kimber Lee, Andrea, and Mary Dobson.

In April more female talent such as Isabel Lahela, Evie, Nixon Newell, and Demi Bennett will report to the WWE performance center and later will be joined by Kairi Hojo.

With rumors of talent such as Zeuixs, Shazza McKenzie, Scarlett Bordeaux, Deonna Purrazzo, Toni Storm, and Io Shirai coming to WWE soon this seems like a perfect way to introduce these talents to the WWE audience.​

Let's hope they don't neglect all the elite talent is the US women's scene by focusing too much on pushing Japanese women

WWE announces 32-competitor Women’s Tournament coming to WWE Network this summer

WWE announces 32-competitor Women’s Tournament coming to WWE Network this summer


For the first time in WWE history, 32 of the top female competitors from around the world will participate in a tournament this summer on WWE Network.

The long-rumored tournament was confirmed today as part of “WWE Reimagined,” a presentation held at a business partner summit in Orlando, Fla., during WrestleMania Week.

Competitors from 17 countries are expected to participate in the tournament, underscoring the breadth and international diversity of women’s wrestling.

Raw Women’s Champion Bayley, SmackDown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss and undefeated NXT Women’s Champion Asuka – all of whom are slated for title defenses this weekend – were on hand to break the big news with Paul "Triple H" Levesque, Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative, and Stephanie McMahon, Chief Brand Officer. The tournament marks a new milestone for WWE’s ongoing Women’s Evolution.

"Building on our Women's division, it gives us great pleasure to share in announcing what's next for WWE," said Bayley. "For the first time ever, this summer, WWE will feature a Women's Tournament."

“I speak on behalf of all of us, not just the champions standing before you today, but the entire Women's division. It's truly an honor to be part of another significant movement in WWE history,” Bliss said.

After speaking to the audience in Japanese, Asuka said in English, "I am proud to be part of the Women's Evolution, representing Japan and WWE."

Levesque also shared the historic announcement with the WWE Universe on social media.



The tournament comes on the heels of other successful WWE Network tournaments, such as last year’s Cruiserweight Classic, which focused on competitors 205 pounds and lighter, and January’s United Kingdom Championship Tournament, which spotlighted the U.K.’s toughest grapplers.

Even if they still stumble at establishing the cruiserweight division on RAW, and the UK tourney was ignored by the average wrestling fan (their loss), these tournaments have been incredibly well-supported showcases of talent not often given the spotlight.

I firmly believe this tourney will see some of the best women's wrestling to date.

They could also use this opportunity to flesh out the RAW, SD, and NXT rosters.
