The Chief Content Officer of WWE, Triple H, has often received backlash from the fans for his decisions. Now it seems that fans want him to follow in the footsteps of former wrestler Shawn Michaels.
The Chief Content Officer of WWE, Triple H, has often been criticized for his poor booking decisions for the female roster of the Stamford-based promotion. On the other hand, fans are quite impressed by Shawn Michaels’ booking decision for the female superstars in WWE NXT.
On WWE NXT this week, two matches were scheduled for the female superstars. In one match, Lola Vice and Elektra Lopez faced and defeated Dana Brooke and Kelani Jordan. In another match, Kiana James faced and defeated Roxanne Perez, Blair Davenport, and Gigi Dolin in a Fatal-Four-way match to become the number-one contender for the NXT Women’s Championship.

Moreover, on the very recent episode of WWE RAW, five matches took place, among which only one match was held between two female superstars, where Becky Lynch defeated Zoey Stark in a Falls Count Anywhere match. It is also to be noted that no female superstars have been advertised for the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown.
Referring to this, fans think Triple H should take notes from Shawn Michaels. One fan took to their X handle to post “Triple H should take notes from Shawn Michaels on how to use the women’s roster. Anyway, seated for NXT“. and fans seemed to have agreed with the fact.

It is to be seen if Triple H indeed follows the footsteps of Shawn Michaels in the near future and improves the booking of female WWE superstars or not.
Which female superstars are current Champions in WWE?
While there are several championships in WWE, only a handful of them belong to the female superstars on the roster. These stars include Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, Chelsea Green, Piper Niven, and Tiffany Stratton.
Rhea Ripley is the Women’s World Champion in WWE and is currently signed to WWE RAW. While Iyo Sky is the WWE Women’s Champion, she is currently performing on the blue brand. On the other hand, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven are WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Apart from that, Tiffany Stratton holds the NXT Women’s Championship in WWE NXT.
However, these might soon change since the upcoming pay-per-view event WWE Payback is set to take place on September 2, 2023. At the PPV event, Rhea Ripley is all set to defend the Women’s World Championship against Raquel Rodriguez.
