WWE CEO and part-time on-air performer Paul "Triple H" Levesque recently appeared as a guest on the Gorilla Position Podcast and shared his opinion on how the "Women's Revolution" in pro wrestling over the past few years came to be.

According to "The Game," the rise in popularity of women's wrestling came to be because of a combination of things happening in the world during the same time frame. As Triple H explained, the world has changed and women have gotten more into athletics over the past several years.

"I think that as The Attitude Era came to be and so many young people, women and young girls as well, were watching the product at that time, they just became this shift. And as the world changed, and women started to get more into athletics, it became more about them as athletes and them being role models in that athletic realm. Just everything started to change and about that time, those girls that were watching that era started to become where they were wanting to get into this industry and what they wanted out of it was change."

Additionally, Triple H spoke about why he feels the pro wrestling fanbase was also ready for a change and explained why the women talent on the WWE roster and prior to that, the NXT roster, deserve all of the credit for the increasing popularity of the division over the years.

"I think the fanbase was also [ready for change]. For me I look at WWE and I think 'what would I want to see as a fan? How would I create a Superstar?' and I sit from the fan point-of-view because that's where I started. It's no different with the women. I saw these amazing athletes. And sometimes I would see these amazing athletes that train hard, that dieted hard, train hard, work just as hard as being performers, but weren't always given the same platforms. And I don't want to say 'opportunities'. They were given opportunities, just given to them in a different way. I wanted to change that, so I started to begin to look at them differently as athletes and I just told those stories differently and presented them as the athletes that they were. And it was all the right place, the right time type of thing. At that time, you had Venus Williams and Serena Williams; you had Ronda Rousey coming up; and you just had the US Women's soccer team. You had all these things kind of happening all at once where women and athletics were becoming a much more prominent thing in the forefront of everybody's mind and they were being accepted more as athletes. It was really for me giving them the opportunity and knowing they had the ability to go knock it out of the park. It made my job really easy. I give the girls an opportunity and they go and steal the show. And then, I'd give them another opportunity and they'd steal the show. The fanbase was catching on to that and they were clamoring for it themselves."

On Whether or not the division will be getting their own show as planned Post-Mania

"We are currently looking into working alongside E! for a weekly two hour program that is set to debut in the summer and if all goes well we may look into a future program on the WWE Network"


"The King of Kings" also spoke about the way his father-in-law, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, felt regarding Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks going on last as the main event of last year's Hell In A Cell pay-per-view.

"Vince is not going to just grab onto something and throw it out there and hopes that it's good. He has to have confidence in it. He has to have confidence that Sasha and Charlotte are going to close out Hell In A Cell, inside Hell In A Cell for the first time ever and make that entire event deliver. At that point, he had seen it. He had seen it deliver time and time again. In NXT he had seen Sasha. He was backstage for Sasha and Bayley in Brooklyn [New York] for the first time, the Iron Man match that they had. Just all the things that they went through, he was there along the way watching tem. And it was the right time, right moment. And to be honest, there are certain things sometimes where I think Vince had to be talked into something. This is not one, I think, that… I don't know who made the first suggestion, but I don't think he had to be talked into it. I think that they had proven themselves enough that he had the faith and the confidence in them to be able to deliver."

:sas2:but Vince needs to be invested 24/7 to sasha and charlotte
As things stand right now, the current working plan for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 33 this year is for Charlotte Flair to defend the title in a Fatal-4-Way match.

The second generation WWE performer is currently slated to defend the RAW Women's Title against Sasha Banks, Bayley and Nia Jax in a Fatal-4-Way contest.

The word going around the last couple of weeks is that Banks is set to turn heel during the build-up to the rumored RAW Women's Title showdown at this year's "Show of Shows."

WrestleMania 33 is scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 2nd, from Orlando, Florida.

I'm all for the women getting more airtime. But this is too much considering the small amount of elite female talent they have. 2 hours, really?

They don't need their own show
The cruiserweights don't need their own show

2 things are going to happen
Either it's more days on the road to film this show
Or either raw or Smackdown will become even longer for the people there

There is zero reason to give the women two hours

TRIM THE ROSTER

Let these dudes go to Japan or ROH

No one wants to see Fandango, Tyler Breeze, Mojo Rawley, half the UK guys...

fukking release them dude they're just taking up airspace and you don't know what to do with them because you keep trying to shoehorn everyone into this master plan where part timers get title runs that should be for the youth, and the youth can't get over because you force them to stick to these garbage ass scripts.
