People were walking out before and during the main event in 2016. Women main eventing pay per views isn’t even a bad idea, but to so heavy handedly force feed it to the crowd solely to pander and try to get good publicity is just shameful. They always have to market it so heavily as if nobody has ever floated this concept before. Women have closed shows before in wrestling and in the octagon. If they’re over enough to warrant it, go for it and don’t make the fact that they’re closing the show your selling point. It ruins the immersion to make that a big deal. Let the story being told be the contest between the people competing. It doesn’t need to be anything else. If a feud has the crowd hot even if it isn’t about the heavyweight title, that’s all that matters. When trish and lita closed out a taping of raw for the women’s title, it wasn’t marketed as historic since a women’s match hadn’t closed the show before. The feud between the two was all that was needed, same as when Rey Mysterio and Matt Hardy closed out a taping of smackdown over the cruiserweight title. An organic build always works best.
Im fine with it.
