Even when it's not, like, *utopian* per se there's a general air of just presupposed optimism given the whole (gestures broadly) civil rights movement and space race and all. The political motivations behind the space race are uh besides the point. The zeitgeist of it all was so. Head in hands. God
I've often found that humanity itself is much like a struggling individual. We have ups and downs, and when we're in the dumps, we lose sight of the bigger picture of how far we've come. And, much like the struggling individual, when those bad times come, we have to keep our spirits high and hold onto our hopes and continue to believe (and act on those beliefs) that the future will be good. It's easy to think so when things are already looking up. But good futures can only begin when we face the worst of ourselves.
I believe this is the perfect time to start building a good future.
if the death riders and STP are feuding can we get a Marina Shafir vs Trish Adora match… please… they’re finally feuding with a faction that has women there’s no excuse to not let Marina have a match…
Hello! Welcome back to AEW Women’s Division Monthly Stats.
This is the fifth month of this project. The previous months can be found at the following links: January, February, March, April. Although not necessary, I highly recommend you take a moment to read those for a better understanding of this project.
As a reminder, I am tracking matches, match length, promo segments, promo lengths, women’s wrestlers who appear on the show, maximum in-ring time, and maximum TV time.
The timings are all collected as the show is airing, so I apologize for any mistakes.
A few notes before jumping in: I am only tracking TV time at the moment. I plan to expand into tracking Pay-Per-View time.
This month, there were multiple 3-hour showings, one of which was on May 6th. This is the only time I extended the 3-hour showing into its Collision slot, as the the next Collision was only an hour. I am debating, for future months, whether or not to continue this method. Originally, I had done this for fear that leaving it as is would skew the data, but I would appreciate feedback from those reading this.
Now for this month’s stats:
In May 2026, there were a total of 14 women’s matches, the same amount as the previous month. There were 6 singles matches, 6 tag matches, 1 trios match, and 1 eight-women tag match.
This month marked the first time this year that a woman’s match has gone past 15 minutes of in-ring time.
The shortest match this month was on the May 27th Dynamite. This was a tag team match between Tay Melo and Anna Jay against Ava Everett and Allie Katch. It was 1 minute and 12 seconds.
The longest match this month was on the May 27th Dynamite/Collision. This was a singles match where Hikaru Shida faced off against Kris Statlander. It lasted 15 minutes and 55 seconds.
Out of 8 shows this month, 6 of them had two matches. For the fifth month in a row, we have not yet seen three matches on one show card. This is an issue we see every month. Until something changes, I will continue to point it out.
This month there were 23 promo segments. This includes backstage promos, live promos, and video packages. If men were featured, the segment was not counted.
The shortest segment was on the May 30th Collision at 15 seconds. The longest segment was on the May 20th Dynamite at 2 minutes and 32 seconds.
Wrestling is in constant motion, so there is a chance I may have missed someone.
According to my data, the May 6th Dynamite had the least amount of women’s wrestlers at 5 total. The May 20th Dynamite had the most women’s appearances with 16 total.
This month, Marina Shafir was the only woman who appeared on every show. As I’ve stated before, I believe this is a result of her position in a male-centered faction that appears on every show. Marina herself did not have any TV matches this month.
AEW shows usually run two hours, unless there is an overrun or special runtime. There were multiple special runtimes this month. Thank you to @impossiblekittydelusion for gathering the accurate runtimes.
The total runtime for AEW TV this month was 19 hours 30 minutes and 7 seconds. Out of that time, the women only received 2 hours 6 minutes and 11 seconds. That time is further thinned out to 1 hour 44 minutes and 31 seconds of in-ring action.
The least amount of time the women had in-ring was on the May 13th Dynamite at 10 minutes. The most amount of in-ring time the women had was on the May 27th Dynamite at 17 minutes and 7 seconds.
The least amount of total TV time the women had was on the May 13th Dynamite at 11 minutes and 57 seconds. The most was on the May 27th Dynamite at 17 minutes and 53 seconds.
As always, I want to express my gratitude to everyone who takes the time to read these posts. This project continues to be something I love working on and sharing with all of you. Every tag, comment, and note means the world to me.
When I watch and see people speaking out about how the women’s division is mistreated, I feel encouraged. As fans, we must continue to use our voices to make our concerns known and show that we will not stand for this. Hopefully, we will all see the future we are pushing for come to fruition.
I will see you all again next month! Thank you for reading!
the cutest sweetest innocentest angel i love her sooooooooooooooo much this is how she looks at you before doing the most beautiful cattle mutilation youve ever seen
so the thing about the lee-yuta-danny storyline i want so badly is that if it happens now it's going to go so crazy considering lee has spent the last two years as pure champ proving himself the heir apparent to roh men's technical wrestling and reaping the benefits of shane's mentorship + nigel's rivalry with the freedom to make his own choices even when it means running counter to his faction . and yuta has spent the last two years getting manhandled by mox&co on live television and eating most of their tag+trios pins since his last championship reign ended over a year ago (yk the trios titles he secured that immediately became leverage in the bryan wars). and danny has spent the last two years having flings with a basketball team's worth of daddies mentors before moving into the death riders' basement a few months after losing his only aew title (also over a year ago). and before saturday the last time yuta or danny had a singles match was in march.
arguments could be made that death riding has improved danny and yuta's in-ring performance* but i have a hard time believing their time as tools in mox's box destroying+betraying themselves for the sake of conditional approval and the abstract and ever shifting goal of being 'against the world' has done anything but regress them emotionally
and i am very excited to see this version of lee go up against this version of dannyuta . none of them are the same as the last time they crossed paths and that's only a compliment in lee's case.
the wheeler yuta of 2024 lost the pure belt and had the sportsmanship to personally put it around lee's waist and shake his hand and the wheeler yuta of 2026 had to be shamed back into the ring by mox to accept the consequences of the hair match
okay so spock (the alien in blue) essentially goes into heat. like literal heat like an animal. Anyway, spock’s in bloodlust in this episode and must go back to vulcan to have sex with his finace (or someone. but its supposed to be his fiance) or he’ll literally die. this is called pon farr and some backstory spock is half human and thought he wouldnt go through pon farr so he abandoned his HOT fiance to fuck around in space except oops pon farr happens so. he and kirk (in yellow getting his tits cut open, he’s also spocks captain and best friend) and their other friend mccoy go to vulcan so he can have sex with his fiance or get married or whatever so he doesn’t die. but then spock’s fiance (t’pring) is like no i dont want to marry spock i want to have him fight someone to death (which she can do) and spock at this point is fully in the ‘blood lust’ and is basically not in his right mind and doesnt get what’s happening. and t’pring picks kirk to be her ‘champion’ in the fight (her logic is that if spock dies in the fight she doesnt have to marry him and if kirk dies, spock will be so upset with her he won’t marry her anymore anyway). anyway kirk doesnt know that its a fight to the death and so he’s like of course i’ll do this fight if it’ll help spock and then he gets told it’s a fight to the death and he goes WHAT and right afterwards spock slices his titties open like in the gif. also eventually spock and kirk roll around in the sand and kirk fakes his death and THIS somehow knocks spock out of his blood lust and he goes back to the ship super sad bc he’s killed his ‘best friend’ only to discover kirk’s alive and we see one of his biggest smiles of the series (a big deal bc spock is vulcan and they dont show emotion). anyway this aired as the season opener in 1967. know your history and all that happy pride
my least favorite literary smut turn of phrase is when a guy is like “im gonna ruin this pussy” “im gonna wreck this pussy for anyone else” like stop.. thats not yours…!
