Tiffany Stratton recently highlighted a challenge many female WWE superstars face: securing adequate TV time and match opportunities. As a standout talent in WWE’s women’s division, Stratton acknowledged the struggle to find space on a roster often dominated by male storylines and feuds. In an interview with Jazzy’s World TV, she said, “Match time and just TV time is a little hard to get as a female superstar because a lot of times you get overlooked.” Her comments shed light on an ongoing issue within WWE, where, despite the strides made in recent years, women can still find themselves fighting for equal screen presence.

Historically, WWE has had periods where the women’s division was a main focus, but that spotlight can shift depending on the broader storylines involving top male superstars. Since the Women’s Evolution in WWE, which brought major changes such as the renaming of the Divas Championship to the Women’s Championship and women headlining WrestleMania, female superstars have undoubtedly gained more visibility and respect. However, that doesn’t necessarily guarantee consistent opportunities for all women on the roster. With so many male-centric storylines dominating WWE programming—whether it’s the ongoing Bloodline saga, rivalries for the top titles, or crowd favorites like Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes—the screen time dedicated to male talent can make it challenging for female superstars to secure their own spotlight.

Stratton’s remarks touch on an important reality: even with talented women ready to deliver high-quality matches and engaging storylines, they sometimes don’t receive the TV exposure to showcase their abilities. WWE’s roster includes exceptionally skilled women such as Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, and many others, all of whom have shown they can hold an audience’s attention. However, time constraints on weekly shows like Raw, SmackDown, and NXT mean decisions must be made about which segments get airtime. The result is often that the men’s divisions, which tend to have long-running storylines with major stakes, take precedence.

Fans and analysts alike have noticed that the women’s division has had fewer multi-layered storylines and main event matches compared to the men’s, despite the talent present. Stratton’s comments underscore the need for a more balanced approach, allowing the women’s division to be showcased in a way that complements and even elevates the men’s division, rather than taking a backseat. When female superstars are given the chance to shine—such as during events like WrestleMania 35, where the women headlined for the first time—the result is often memorable, high-quality matches that fans talk about for years.

Stratton’s message isn’t just a critique but a reminder of the potential within WWE’s women’s division. As fans rally behind calls for change, there’s hope that WWE will find ways to provide its female superstars with more opportunities to showcase their skills on a larger stage. With consistent support and recognition, WWE can continue evolving, ensuring that all superstars—regardless of gender—have the chance to leave their mark.
