All Elite Wrestling is providing a new platform for its female fans.
Wrestling has long been a male-dominated industry, from the performers to the crowds in attendance at events. But AEW is making strides in creating a welcoming atmosphere for females, a fan base that has not had its voice heard nearly enough in wrestling’s past or present.
“I still don’t feel comfortable in wrestling, and I’m the Chief Brand Officer of a major organization,” said AEW CBO Brandi Rhodes. “Wrestling has a really long way to go with women.”
Led by Rhodes, the company has officially launched AEW Heels, a female-focused wrestling group open to anyone who identifies as female.
