“I will say this: we have a performance center in Orlando, Florida. We have 100 to 120 athletes at any given time training in there on a day-to-day basis. I’m not sure exactly what the mix is, but a large percentage of women and a large percentage of men. We have an NIL program that recruits across college athletics on every level. So women are a big focus of what we’re doing leading to the future and how we’re training and getting them up,” Triple H explained.

WWE to have all-female Evolution PLE this summer

The first women to headline a WrestleMania were Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair. Lynch beat Rousey and Flair in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 35 in 2019. Flair and Tiffany Stratton are competing for the WWE Women's Championship, and Bianca Belair and IYO SKY are competing for the Women's World Championship, among other women's matchups on the current WrestleMania 41 schedule.
