Hello! Welcome to a new project I want to do (hopefully) on a monthly basis.
I love women’s wrestling. It has been a passion of mine since I got into wrestling. Through the years, women’s wrestling has evolved and changed in many ways. It’s amazing to see, yet women still aren’t treated with the same respect the men receive.
Me and many others have noticed that AEW specifically has a tendency to include one to two women’s matches per show. This made me wonder, “How much screen time are these girls actively getting?”
My focus here is on AEW because I don’t have the time (nor the interest) to keep up with other promotions. I love AEW. Don’t mistake my criticism of the AEW women’s division as an attack. If this bothers you, take a moment to wonder why that is.
My method for this project was making a spreadsheet. In this spreadsheet, I’ve included matches, match length, promo segments, the length of promos, women’s wrestlers included on the show, total time in-ring, and total time on TV.
I timed this all on my own as the shows were airing. These numbers may not be exact, but they are as close as I could get. This is a project run by me and only me, so I apologize for any mistakes. Keep in mind that I am using my own timings.
Below, I will break the numbers down for you.
In January of 2026, there were a total of 13 women’s matches: 6 singles matches, 5 tag team matches, and 2 six-women matches.
Not a single match out of those 14 passed the 15-minute mark.
The shortest match was on the January 3rd Collision, a tag match between Megan Bayne and Marina Shafir against Rache Chanel and London Dior. It was 1 minute and 26 seconds.
The longest match was on the January 28th Dynamite, a singles match between Kris Statlander and Thekla. It lasted 11 minutes and 44 seconds.
Out of 9 Collisions, only 4 of them had 2 women’s matches. The rest had a singular women’s match. Never once did Dynamite or Collision exceed 2 matches.
I counted 14 promo segments. These numbers are complicated as AEW is not always clear on whether video packages are meant to be promos or a retelling of previous events.
There were 14 women’s segments, including backstage promos, live promos, and video packages. If men were included, the segment was not counted.
The shortest segment was on the January 3rd Collision at 20 seconds. The longest segment was on the January 7th Dynamite at 7 minutes and 42 seconds.
Wrestling moves fast. There’s a chance I have missed someone. For this, I am only counting women’s wrestlers.
According to my findings, the January 7th Dynamite had the least amount of women appear at 7 total. January 10th and 31st (both Collisions) are tied for the most amount at 14 women.
In January, the only woman to appear on every single show was Marina Shafir. Why? She’s in a mostly-male faction that is heavily involved in the show.
This, by far, was the most interesting finding to me.
Typically, AEW shows last 2 hours, unless there is an overrun or special runtimes. That’s around 18 to 20 hours of TV time.
The total in-ring time women had was 1 hour 36 minutes and 20 seconds. The total time women were featured was 2 hours 1 minute and 13 seconds.
The least amount of time they had in-ring was on January 17th Collision at 7 minutes and 7 seconds. The most time they had in-ring was on January 24th Collision at 13 minutes and 31 seconds.
The least amount of TV time total was on the January 17th Collision at 9 minutes and 57 seconds. The most TV time total was on the January 7th Dynamite at 16 minutes and 38 seconds.
Now, why did I make this? I was curious to see the numbers laid out. And I wanted to show people that this really is an issue. AEW’s women’s division is full of talented stars, yet they get the bare minimum of screentime. We are told to believe that the women’s division is thriving, that they are respected, that they are equal, but that does not ring true when faced with the data.
The voices of fans are important in the wrestling ecosystem. You have the power to push, to show love, to show that you care about women’s wrestling. It’s important that your support be loud.
AEW is not the only place that women’s wrestling exists. It’s not even the most accessible. Youtube is full of women’s matches from around the world.
If you’ve taken the time to read this, thank you. This was a labor of love, an offshoot of a previous project that is proving harder to condense. I hope this opened at least one person’s eyes.
I rub my hands and stare at the rain world art month .Seriously, I just found out about it! I really want to draw something, but I don't have the time and energy at all :[
Hello! Welcome back to AEW Women’s Division Monthly Stats!
This is the second month of this project. The first month is linked here! I highly recommend checking that out before reading this, but it is not required.
To repeat the measured data, I am tracking matches, match length, promo segments, length of promos, women’s wrestlers who appear on the show, maximum in-ring time, and maximum TV time. The timing and information on this sheet are all collected by me as the show is airing. If there are mistakes, I apologize.
Now, I will break down the numbers for you:
In February 2026, there were a total of 13 matches—Interestingly enough, that is the same amount as last month. There were 6 singles matches, 6 tag matches, and 1 four-way match.
Much like last month, not one match lasted longer than 15 minutes.
The shortest match was on the February 7th Collision, a singles match between Thekla and Brittnee Brooks. It was 38 seconds long.
The longest match was on the February 11th Dynamite, a singles match between Thekla and Kris Statlander for the Women’s World Championship. It was 14 minutes and 1 second long.
Out of 8 shows, only 4 had more than 2 women’s matches, and only one of those shows had 3 women’s matches.
There were 19 women’s segments, including backstage promos, live promos, and video packages. If men were included, the segment was not counted.
The shortest segment was on February 25th Dynamite at 8 seconds long. (This was a quick ringside interview.)
The longest segment was on the February 7th Collision at 3 minutes and 5 seconds.
Wrestling moves fast, so there is a chance I have missed someone.
According to my own findings, the February 4th Dynamite had the least amount of women appear at 8 in total. The February 7th and 28th Collisions both came in with 14 women appearing.
In February, only two women appeared on every show, Marina Shafir and Kris Statlander. This is a change from last month where only Marina Shafir appeared on every show.
AEW shows typically run 2 hours unless there is an overrun or special runtime. That totals around 18-20 hours of TV time. This month we had one special event—Grand Slam Australia—Giving an extra 30 minutes to the standard run time.
The total in-ring time the women had was 1 hour 32 minutes 3 seconds. The total time they were feature on TV was 1 hour 51 minutes 40 seconds.
The least amount of time the women had in-ring was on the February 7th Collision at 10 minutes 24 seconds. The most amount of time they had was on the February 28th Dynamite at 19 minutes 14 seconds.
The least amount of time the women had on TV was also on the February 7th Collision at 10 minutes 24 seconds. The most amount of time they had was on the February 28th Dynamite at 19 minutes 14 seconds.
I want to take a second here and thank everyone who has supported and interacted with this project. It means the world to me to see people genuinely interested in the statistics I’m gathering. My mission is to bring more attention to the way the Women’s division is being treated in comparison to the men, and I think I am doing that.
March’s stats are already in the works. Hopefully, life won’t impact me gathering the data. Thank you so much for reading.
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!
i will never be happy with someone who humiliated a black man with a racist comment on tv two weeks before then winning the most prized championship in this company man idk
Hello! Welcome back to AEW Women’s Division Monthly Stats!
This is the 3rd month of this project. We are 1/4th of the way through the year! The 1st and 2nd months can be found January and Febuary I highly recommend reading those two posts before delving into this one, but it is not necessary.
To repeat the measured data, I am tracking matches, match length, promo segments, length of promos, women’s wrestlers who appear on the show, maximum in-ring time, and maximum TV time. The timing of the information gathered on the sheet are all collected by me as the show is airing. If there happens to be any mistakes, I apologize.
A note before we jump into the data—This month, one of AEW’s normal TV slots was occupied during Collision. To combat that, they split one 2-hour show into two 1-hour airings on Saturday and Sunday, that is why you’ll see one of the rows have a split date. For the sake of better data collection, all of the data is in one row—As if it was a single 2-hour airing.
Another note—I am only tracking TV time at the moment. In the future, I plan on tracking Pay-Per-View times. In this current project, I am only tracking AEW TV.
Now to break down the numbers:
In March 2026, there were a total of 12 women’s matches. This is 1 fewer match than the prior months. There were 5 singles matches, 5 tag team matches, and 2 trios matches.
Much like the previous months, not a single match passed the 15-minute mark. This now makes three months where no women’s match on TV passed 15 minutes.
The shortest match this month was on the March 14th Collision. This was a trios match between the teams of Thekla, Julia Hart, Skye Blue against Viva Van, Tatevik, and Karisma. It was 1 minute and 5 seconds long.
The longest match was on the March 28th Collision. It was a tag match between the teams of Megan Bayne and Lena Kross against Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron. This match was 13 minutes and 12 seconds long.
Out of 8 shows, half of them had two matches. For the third month in a row, not a single show had three matches.
This month, there were 20 segments, including backstage promos, live promos, and video packages. If men were featured, the segment was not counted.
The shortest segment was on the March 18th Dynamite at 11 seconds long.
The longest segment was on the March 14th Collision at 4 minutes and 43 seconds.
As always, wrestling moves fast; there’s a chance I might have missed someone.
According to my findings, the March 18th Dynamite had the least amount of women appearing—At 3 in total. The March 28th Collision came in with the most women at 13 appearances. (Please ignore the error reading February 28th instead of March.)
In March, no single woman appeared on every show. In February, Marina Shafir and Kris Statlander had appeared on every show. However, this month they were missing from 1 and 9 shows respectively.
AEW shows tend to run two hours unless there is an overrun or special runtime. There were no special runtimes this month besides the split up of Collision previously mentioned. Unlike previous months, this month I have accurate runtimes thanks to the help of @impossiblekittydelusion.
The total runtime for AEW TV this month was 17 hours 11 minutes and 37 seconds. Out of that time, the women only recieved 2 hours and 43 seconds. That time further thins to 1 hour 35 minutes and 9 seconds in the ring.
The least amount of time the women had in-ring was on the March 14th Collision with 10 minutes and 10 seconds. The most amount of time they had in-ring was on the March 28th Collision at 14 minutes and 37 seconds.
The least amount of time the women had on TV was on the March 18th Dynamite at 11 minutes and 20 seconds. The most amount of time they had on TV was on the March 28th Collision with 19 minutes and 47 seconds.
Now that we are at the quarter mark of this project, I truly hope this has opened more of the audience’s eyes to the mistreatment of the women’s division. This project of mine was made to bring awareness, and I’m very glad to see it has had that effect.
Every note and tag I get on any of these posts means the world to me. I hope every month you and everyone else continue to read and learn.
Once again, thank you for reading. Next month’s statistics will be in the works ASAP.
Hello! Welcome back to AEW Women’s Division Monthly Stats.
This is the 4th month of this project. The previous months can be found at these links: January, February, March. Although not necessary, I recommend you read those first to get a better understanding of this post.
As a refresher, 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 collected as the show is airing, so I apologize for any mistakes.
A few notes before delving into this: I am only tracking TV time at the moment. In the future, I plan on expanding into tracking Pay-Per-View time. This month, I also had help tracking the final Dynamite, as I was there in-person and would have needed to rewatch the show to collect the times. So, thank you to @powderflower for that.
Onto the stats,
In April of 2026, there were a total of 14 women’s matches. The most we’ve seen in a single month this year! There were 7 singles matches, 6 tag team matches, and 1 trios match.
In the 4 months since starting this project, not a single match has exceeded 15 minutes. 52 matches in 4 months, and none of them were more than 15 minutes. This is something that bears repeating. It is a fundamental issue that needs to be addressed. The men are consistently given matches that go far beyond that, and the women are left with less than a quarter of an hour.
The shortest match this month was on the April 29th Dynamite. This was a tag team match of Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter against Emily Jaye and Jordan Blade. This match was 1 minute and 19 seconds.
The longest match this month was on the April 29th Dynamite as well. This was a tag match that had Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida facing Megan Bayne and Lena Kross. It lasted 12 minutes and 30 seconds.
Out of 9 shows, only 5 of them had two matches. For the fourth month in a row, there has not been a single show with more than two matches. This is another issue that bears repeating until we see a change.
This month there were 21 promo segments, including backstage promos, live promos, and video packages. If men were featured, the segment was not counted.
The shortest segment was on the April 22nd Dynamite at 26 seconds. The longest segment was on the April 2nd Collision at 1 minute and 26 seconds.
As always, wrestling moves at a fast pace, there is a chance I have missed someone.
According to my findings, the April 8th and the April 22nd Dynamites had the least amount of women’s appearances, at 6 total. The April 11th Collision came in with the most amount of women’s appearances at 15 total.
In April, Marina Shafir is the only woman to appear on every single show. As I’ve stated before, I believe this is a result of her being in a male-centered faction that appears on every single show. Marina, herself, only had one match this month.
AEW Shows tend to run two hours, unless there is an overrun or special runtime. There were no special runtimes this month. Thank you to @impossiblekittydelusion for the accurate runtimes!
The total runtime for AEW TV this month was 18 hours 12 minutes and 46 seconds. Out of that time, the women only received 2 hours 8 minutes and 23 seconds. That time is further cut down to 1 hour 47 minutes and 12 seconds of in-ring action.
The least amount of total in-ring time the women had was on the April 15th Dynamite at 8 minutes and 27 seconds. The most amount of total in-ring time was on the April 16th Collision with 14 minutes and 47 seconds.
The least amount of total TV time the women had was on the April 1st Dynamite at 9 minutes and 56 seconds. The most was on the April 11th Collision at 18 minutes and 39 seconds.
I will once again express my gratitude to you all for reading this post and showing interest in my project. This is something I have loved to work on and post each month. Every interaction on these posts mean the world to me. I adore reading tags, notes, and comments.
It makes me happy to see more people start to criticize the little amount of time the women are given. It’s something we should continue to be loud about. As fans, we have a voice to use. Hopefully, we will see a difference in the AEW Women’s Division. Every note, tag, and post made means something. Please continue to use your voice.
