And Then There Were Eight
The countdown to Raw's debut on Netflix has reached the home stretch. We are now less than a month away from the momumental episode of Raw, which will air on the first Monday of 2025, and will take place at the Intuit Dome, the newly opened arena in Inglewood, California that hosts the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers. As WWE prepares for that moment, they are also preparing to crown two midcard champions in the Women's Division. The Women's United States Championship chase is almost over, but the one involving the Women's Intercontinental Championship is barely underway.

A Look at the Final Four in the Women's United States Championship Tournament
With Saturday Night's Main Event closing in, the Women's United States Championship tournament now has its semifinalists. After many months and years of fans literally begging for mid-card championships for WWE's Women's Division, we finally got them starting on November 8, with the introduction of the Women's United States Championship, and on November 25, that night's Raw introduced the Women's Intercontinental Championship, with that tournament kicking off a week later on December 2 and seeing Dakota Kai become the first to advance.

The Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament Begins
On November 8, 2024, the Women's United States Championship finally debuted on SmackDown. Just a few weeks later, we would receive the addition of the Women's Intercontinental Championship on the Raw brand. The announcement was made on November 25, 2024, seventeen days after the Women's U.S. Championship was added, and similar to that title, the first Women's IC Champion would be crowned via a tournament--the same exact fashion as the other title.

The Quest Marches On
Before a Survivor Series: WarGames event that saw ten women show out inside the titular match, quite a few developments were made to the Women's Division. On Raw, General Manager Adam Pearce officially announced the addition of the Women's Intercontinental Championship, making the announcement on an exclusive segment on the program. Similar to the Women's United States Championship, the inaugural Women's IC Champion will be determined via a tournament that will kick off on the next edition of Raw. I'll be honest, I'm happy that this was announced earlier than I expected. I predicted that the Women's IC Title announcement would be made on the first Raw on Netflix.

How Stridhan Empowers Women in Land Inheritance Issues
Women in Hindu society have historically possessed limited rights when it comes to ancestral land ownership. Unlike their male counterparts, they have not enjoyed equal access to land inherited from their ancestors since ancient times, largely due to the traditional concept of Stridhan within Indian culture. This custom has influenced the extent of women's rights in land inheritance. Legislation such as the Hindu Succession Amendment Act (2005) introduced a new principle of equality, ensuring that women receive the same inheritance rights as men, particularly regarding land.

World AIDS Day 2024
World AIDS Day 2024 is a strong sign of the moves that should be tended to in the battle against Helps while commending the steps made toward its counteraction and treatment. The current year's subject, "Follow the Privileges Way: My Wellbeing, My Right," is basic in the convergence of wellbeing and common freedoms, zeroing in on fair admittance to medical care, training, and backing for all impacted by Helps.

A Shocking Detour in the Women's U.S. Championship Tournament
Last Friday, the road to crowning WWE's first-ever Women's United States Championship kicked off with the first bout in a 12-woman tournament, with the first round consisting of Triple Threat Matches. In the first match, Bayley defeated Candice LeRae and B-Fab to advance to the Semifinals, and regarding this week's SmackDown, the second Quarterfinal match pitted Bianca Belair (one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions), Blair Davenport, and Chelsea Green. Blair hasn't held a title in WWE yet, but Chelsea has been one half of the tag champs before. As for Bianca, well, she's done it all in quite a short time, and she enters this tournament just three wins away from accomplishing yet another first.

The Road to the WWE Women's United States Championship Begins
On the evening of November 8, 2024, we finally got what we had been begging for. Well, half of it. On that night's SmackDown, Nick Aldis, the blue brand's General Manager, announced the addition of the Women's United States Championship, unveiling the new title during his presentation. We fans had been clamoring for this for years. The female population in WWE's roster was growing rapidly. It was time for mid-card championships for the women's division. This should have happened much sooner, but at least it's happening now.

The Tale of Pretty Privilege and How It Influences Women
How familiar are we with the concept of Pretty Privilege? It's common to think that individuals considered conventionally attractive—whether male or female—have an easier life than those who don't meet societal beauty standards. This perception is supported by evidence that beautiful people often receive better grades, have favorable job interview outcomes, enjoy increased opportunities, and grow up with greater self-esteem and confidence, as they frequently receive compliments about their looks. However, the implications of pretty privilege extend beyond mere superficial advantages. Often, it stems from internal biases and societal perceptions. This article explores the complexities of pretty privilege and its connections to longstanding issues of sexism and patriarchy, as well as its ongoing discussions in today's social media landscape.

Impressions from Watching Wicked Little Letters
When I was about seven, I wrote down all the curse words I knew on little pieces of paper and carried them with me in my tiny purse. I’d pull them out and share them with my friends, and we’d laugh hysterically. We knew it was forbidden to say them, which made it all the more thrilling.

Reviewing Raquel Rodriguez's Villainous Return at WWE's Bad Blood
We all saw it coming, but what we did not see was how slightly messy it was. Even so, it was pretty cool and I loved it. So the first Bad Blood event in 20 years featured, among other things, the Women's World Championship contest between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. It's been a long uphill battle for Rhea ever since she returned from injury. Liv's sinister Revenge Tour saw her succeed in taking everything from Rhea: her faction, Dom, and in Liv's mind, her title, but Rhea never lost that title.
