Between WWE, NXT, AEW Dark & IMPACT there was enough women's wrestling, stories and silliness to go around. SmackDown showcased a fatal 4-Way for the #1 at Clash of Champions. Mickie challenges Asuka for the Raw title, Alexa is feeling "Fiend" effects and Shotzi takes on Io. Liz and Joseph cover the full week and this is even without NXT UK yet.

There have been a lot of break ups in the WWE, but the pendulum must swing and new evil friendships take center stage. Liz and Joseph discuss Bayley's shocking attack on Sasha, the awkwardness of now "single" Peyton and Billie's match on Raw as well as the highly anticipated tag team workings of Lana and Natalya as they face Asuka and Mickie James. AEW is still trucking on, but at least they have a new signee in Tay Conti. NXT showcases Rhea vs Mercedes Martinez in a steel cage match and the Knockouts Division in IMPACT is delivering the LOLs.

Liz and Joseph have been out for the past couple of weeks, but back and refueled with what seems to be a million matches. COVID-19 is the great equalizer in WWE wrestling because the women are showing out.
This week Liz and Joseph recap all the happenings at Wrestlemania and the Raw after Mania. They talk Bianca's debut, Liv's evolution and the ladder match for the NXT women's #1 contender spot.
Its a day before Wrestlemania and what better way to stay hyped than to revisit last year's triple threat main event? Liz and Joseph also discuss this week's NXT women's gauntlet match for the final spot in the ladder match.
Liz is joined by her best friend and fellow horsewoman Clara as they talk about another important women's matchup...Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch at Evolution in a last woman's standing match. Like Charlotte and Becky in their tea sippin' heyday we hope you enjoy this fun recap.
Liz and Joseph are still covering what they consider to be important women's matches and they'd be stupid to not include the 9th Wonder of the World, Chyna. They cover the Intercontinental championship matches at Armageddon 1999 and Summer Slam 2000. The weekly promotions have been pretty bare, but there is still some NXT action to cover including the qualifiers for the upcoming ladder match. Stay indoors and watch some women's wrestling.
During this time of quarantine the weekly shows have been creative, forcing the Basic's Guide to get a little creative as well. This week Liz and Joseph are covering one of the matches they consider to be of great importance. Generation vs Generation. Queen vs Queen. Trish Stratus vs Charlotte Flair! If you're going to stay indoors do it with flair.
Stories are finally developing and Liz and Joseph have a lot of opinions. They cover the women’s Elimination Chamber match as well as the week’s shows.
Its almost time for the Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View where the Raw women are competing for a title shot at Wrestlemania. Liz and Joseph give their predictions, cover this week's stories on Raw, Smackdown and NXT including the steel cage match between Tegan Nox and Dakota Kai.
There may have been a 'sellout' show in Saudi Arabia this week, but that wasn't even close to being the highlight this week. New faces on NXT UK, an attempted murder by Kay Lee Ray and the highly anticipated NXT match between Charlotte and Bianca Belair take the baklava. Liz and Joseph cover it all.
Liz and Joseph are back, but they picked the wrong week to take a break because so much has happened! NXT is killing it week after week and while Raw and SmackDown Live are in breather mode Liz and Joseph still make the most of the weekly shows. NXT Takeover Portland dominates this episode, but don't worry there's still plenty of shitty booking sessions to dream up.
In this crossover episode Liz and Joseph are joined by Takeunder co-host Hector to discuss this year's Royal Rumble pay per view! Be sure to listen to Takeunder for the World's Collide recap.
The Royal Rumble is this Sunday! 2 championships are up for grabs as well as the NXT title at Worlds Collide. Liz and Joseph discuss the matches from this week and their predictions on the women's Royal Rumble.
Are there are wrestling show wars? Doesn't matter, NXT would win! Liz and Joseph talk about the #1 Contender Women's Battle Royale on NXT and the triple threat for the championship on NXT UK which were the highlights for the week. The road to Wrestlemania is a long one, we're still gearing up for the Royal Rumble and also learning more about AEW!
Its the end of a decade and Liz and Joseph have the privilege of recapping the hottest event of the year, the marriage of Lana to Bobby Lashley live on Raw. Total Divas has concluded and we're building up to what is hopefully a new decade of fresh feuds between the women of WWE & NXT. AEW gets a mention as Liz learns more about the promotion and its wacky rankings. We're gearing up for Royal Rumble this month, so Happy 2020!
It's been a minute and its showing no signs of speeding up, but in the mean time enjoy this episode all about the state of the women's champions across the WWE brands.
The NXT invasions keep coming and this all leads up to the first Women's War Games on NXT and Survivor Series between all brands. Liz and Joseph recap Raw, NXT, NXT UK and SmackDown with a dash of Dynamite. We get Charlotte teaming up with Becky Lynch against the Kabuki Warriors, a surprise visit from a UK superstar on NXT, Mia Yim and Io Shirai's ladder match. Xia Brookside is still on her quest for her soul on the paranormal UK brand of NXT and of course some SmackDown action.

The draft was a major flop, but Bayley's new look and attitude kept everyone hooked. This week Liz and Joseph cover Bayley's new level of heel turn, her rematch against Charlotte Flair for the women's title, Becky Lynch vs Charlotte on Raw as well as the unexpected tag match between Natalya and the Kabuki Warriors. NXT brings us Io Shirai action and Taynara vs Tegan Nox and some more paranormal activity on NXT UK when Xia Brookside faces Nina Samuels. They also cover the match between Dr. Britt Baker and Riho on AEW and everyone's favorite divas, the Total Divas.
The WWE brand is in hell this week, but the women are still shining. Its a long one so buckle up down this highway as Liz and Joseph recap the women's matches on the premiere of SmackDown Live on Fox, Hell in a Cell PPV, Raw, NXT, NXT UK and AEW. We get a lot of Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Bayley and Sasha Banks (WWE's own Sex and The City gang) some tag team action between Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross vs the Kabuki Warriors and some Rhea Ripley. Piper Niven is back against Jazzy Gabert, Bianca Belair is finally on TV against Dakota Kai and the specter of NXT UK, Xia Brookside reemerges.
There was too much women’s wrestling this week with the premieres of Raw, AEW and Total Divas. In addition to NXT and NXT UK we had to make this a 2 parter because we couldn’t even cover SmackDown or give our Hell in a Cell predictions. We cover Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss (Becky ringside), Lacey Evans vs Natalya, Io Shirai vs Mia Yim, Shayna Baszler vs Candice Lerae for the women’s title, Riho vs Nyla Rose on AEW for the women’s championship and our beloved Piper Niven vs Isla Dawn. Not to mention ANOTHER women’s title match with Tegan Nox challenging Kay Lee Ray. It’s packed and its only the first part.
Can we say this week was one of the best? Either way Liz and Joseph recap all them shows and make the best of all the fun drama. Hell in a Cell is right around the corner and so are the season premieres of Raw, SmackDown Live, AEW and Total Divas! We get double doses of Bayley and Sasha, Ember Moon is featured, the return of the Kabuki Warriors and some strong NXT action.
The women steal the show once again. From Clash of Champions to the debut of NXT on USA, the women delivered per usual. Liz and Joseph cover the title matches from this week's PPV, Bayley and Sasha Banks vs Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss, Lacey Evans vs Queen Dana Brooke, Charlotte vs Sasha Banks on SmackDown Live and a bunch of chairs in between.

Bayley pulls double time against Ember Moon (a bully's bully) and Nikki Cross battles it out against Mandy Rose before their own tag team match at Clash of Champions. Joseph and Liz also recap the Rhea Ripley and Shayna Baszler match on NXT as well as covering the return of Tegan Nox on NXT UK.
In the lead up to Clash of Champions there has been an announcement that Bayley and Sasha Banks will team up against Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. Liz and Joseph discuss. Also they talk about the NXT women's match that was announced this week which they completely forgot to bring up last episode.

Alexa and Nikki are making their marks as Tag Team champs, Bayley and Charlotte are gearing up for Clash of Champions and Sasha looks amazing with blue hair.
SummerSlam and NXT Takeover was major! Liz and Joseph recap the Pay Per Views as well as the fallout on Raw, SmackDown Live and NXT. NXT UK is gearing up for Takeover:Cardiff and we get a blast from the witchy past in the form of Isla Dawn.
Summer Slam or what the marks would refer to as "the real" Wrestlemania, and NXT Takeover Toronto are this weekend which means its gonna get good! 2 championships will be on the line and the self-proclaimed Queen of All Eras takes on an actual proclaimed Hall of Famer. While NXT UK's Takeover isn't for a couple of more weeks, we get more Rhea feuding and more answers surrounding the mystery of NXT's specter, Xia Brookside.

We are either pretty much oracles, on the same wavelength of WWE creative or Becky Lynch really is passing along notes from the show. Doesn't matter, this is where you're only going to hear about the women in wrestling this week. The usual episodes of WWE Raw, SmackDown Live, NXT and NXT UK are covered.

NXT's Xia Li and Taynara Conti faced each other and on NXT UK the women Battle (Royale) it out to become the #1 contender for the women's championship. We cover the WWE brands and the saga of the specter Xia Brookside continues.

AEW Double or Nothing was all the rage and Liz and Joseph are all in this week. The usual weekly suspects are covered and we are introduced to the ghost of NXT UK or as we're offensively assuming is the "Spectre of NXT UK".
Coming off the high of Money In The Bank Liz and Joseph recap this week in Women's Wrestling. Tag matches, kendo sticks and a drag version of Carmella! The finale of Miz and Mrs also happened with another nude Miz appearance.
We're a few days away from the Money In the Bank Pay Per View. Liz and Joseph make their predictions especially now that Nikki Cross is in play for the Money In the Bank contract. Their references may be from the 70s and 90s, but Liz and Joseph are keeping you up to date with women 's wrestling, and now with AEW coming to TV soon they also give a peek into their women's roster. Of course this is the only source where you'll hear the deserved praise of USA's IT show "Miz and Mrs" hopefully soon to be named "Monroe's Marjo" or "Monroe's Monde". Happy listening.
We're recapping a ghost town of week on WWE. With the exception of Dana Brooke gracing us with her presence, this week the main roster is all sorts of wack, but we are making sense of it all on this episode. Liz and Joseph recap WWE's Raw, SmackDown Live, NXT and NXT UK with regards to the most talented superstars on the roster and even some "Miz and Mrs." because Liz is still 60% basic and has to mention some reality TV or her head will explode.
What. A. Week.
The women's Money in the Bank card has been announced, Becky Lynch and Bayley squared off on Smackdown Live, we got double the Piper Niven this week and another wild women's Battle Royal at Worlds Collide.
Liz and Joseph are recapping this week's WWE women's division as well as being good brothers and covering Miz and Mrs.
Why? Because Liz is only 60% basic and only watches some reality television including Total Divas which is responsible for her getting back into watching WWE. This week is so jam packed with women's wrestling we even forgot a whole other special!
