On February 21, Fightful Select published a report on frustrations regarding the women's division in WWE.
The report stated, "It's important to note that it doesn't reflect the entirety of the division, but ones echoed by numerous talent.
"Several women on the WWE roster spoke with Fightful and noted the lack of focus on developing contenders, the tag team division, and screen time for women outside of the top of the division. This was said to be specifically in comparison to NXT, where main roster women's talent have noticed how much screen time and focus those talent get and how emotional investment follows.
"There was also a point of redundant storylines, with the same talent not only being featured at the top of the card, but even in the mid-card title scene. Those that we spoke to were happy for those who get that screen time, and said that it shouldn't be a "they're getting too much time" conversation, it should be a "give other people more time in addition to them" conversations."
Speaking to Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, Bianca Belair was asked about the creative in the women's division and any frustrations.
"I haven't really seen anything, to be honest. What I will say is that it is WrestleMania season and everyone is fighting to get on WrestleMania. It's the biggest time of the year and is our Super Bowl. Everyone wants to be on WrestleMania. Our roster is so stacked and we have so many talented women, and we just saw that at the Royal Rumble where you had women from the past, present, and future. Every single woman in the match could have a WrestleMania caliber match. That's why I'm happy we got two new titles to showcase that talent. It's a hectic time of the year and everyone is fighting to get on WrestleMania. That's how this time of the year is. Our roster is so stacked we need those opportunities to showcase that. It's going to keep getting crazier and crazier because women from NXT are going to get called up and we're all fighting to get to WrestleMania. That's just natural feelings. If you don't want to be on WrestleMania, why are you here? Everyone wants to be on WrestleMania. It's a natural feeling," she said.
Belair is set to compete inside the Elimination Chamber at WWE Elimination Chamber.
