WWE Rumors: 'Backstage Frustration' Brewing Due To Women's Division Booking

Tensions are reportedly boiling over in the WWE locker room with how the top-tier wrestling promotion is booking their women’s division.

In a report by Fightful Select, it seems that many are none too pleased with how things are turning out.

“We’ve heard significant frustration from talent and staff alike about the booking of the women’s division of late, and the time given in multiple situations,” as quoted by Ringside News.

The Queen’s Crown tournament started last Friday with its opening round and featured the likes of Toni Storm, Zelina Vega, Liv Morgan and Carmella.

However, the matches between Vega-Storm and Morgan-Carmella lasted less than four minutes combined.

This has not been received well by the fans who were hoping that the tournament would spotlight some of the best women superstars on the roster.

Add to the fact that Morgan’s loss to Carmella was supposed to be the other way around, and there is reason to believe that the backstage rumblings are true.

According to Fightful Select via Ringside News, it was also reported that Morgan was originally booked to win the match but was decided upon otherwise--with the reason not being stated.

The WWE draft, which many believed would help superstars get TV time, also saw multiple women’s tag teams be split up, with the reigning tag team champions Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H. being the only ones left standing.

Carmella will now be facing Vega in the second round of the tournament as the other half of the first-round bracket (Doudrop vs. Natalya and Shayna Baszler vs. Dana Brooke) will be having its matches on WWE Raw later tonight.

Going beyond the draft and the questionable decisions for the first round of the Queen’s Crown tournament, there was also a major concern as to the signing of John Laurinaitis as the Head of Talent Relations back in March.

It is understood that the troubles within the women’s division are geared more towards the lower and midcard, rather than the main event as those storylines have been given ample time to develop.

Things are not looking too hot right now for the women’s division, and with how it is progressing, the other half of the Queen’s Crown tournament will follow the disappointing turn of events set by last Friday’s episode of Smackdown.
