The gauntlet match on Monday, the MITB ladder match on Tuesday, and Last Woman Standing tonight on NXT. They really are committed to pushing the women.
Question: When was the last time women main-evented nearly every show in WWE in a single week?
Answer: Never. It’s never been done … until this week. Excluding 205 Live, which features no female competitors as of yet, every major WWE show is main-evented by its Women’s division. Monday’s Raw ended with Sasha Banks’ victory in a historic Women’s Gauntlet Match to determine Alexa Bliss’ challenger for the Raw Women’s Title at the WWE Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view, while last night’s SmackDown LIVE was capped off with a rematch of the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, which was won by Carmella.
Finally, WWE.com can confirm that the main event of tonight’s NXT, streaming at 8/7 C on WWE Network, will feature Asuka defending her NXT Women’s Championship against Nikki Cross in a no-holds-barred Last Woman Standing Match, completing the trifecta.
Congratulations, ladies. Here’s to many more weeks like this one.

Some of these weren't legit mainevents. Lita and Steph was all about hhh and rock not them just like if say Paul heyman wrestles Samoa joes brother next week on raw mainevent. It would all be about brock and Joe still.I've never seen a Gauntlet Match treated as a big deal nor has it ever main evented a show before not even by the men but because the women are now competing in it, it's historic, special and let's throw a parade for it all of a sudden. You know this "Women's Revolution" is rubbed in your face so much and unnatural when a Gauntlet Match is being treated as if it's some big gimmick match.
Feel sorry for the women of the past. It's as if people act like they have never main evented before. There was Fabulous Moolah vs. Wendi Richter on MTV's Brawl To End It All, which was the only televised match. Alundra Blayze vs. Bertha Faye and Lita vs. Steph on Raw. And obviously Trish vs. Lita.
