WWE appears to be staging an unprecedented number of bouts featuring female performers at their upcoming 'Mania spectacle. Sources close to the company suggest a deliberate escalation, aiming to surpass all previous benchmarks for women's participation on wrestling's grandest stage. This signals a potential, albeit commodified, shift in how the company frames its 'divine feminine' narratives, moving from token inclusion to prominent placement.

This move could be interpreted as a response to evolving audience expectations, or perhaps a calculated maneuver to leverage the 'draw' of its female talent. The implications for the overall card structure and the narratives presented are yet to be fully grasped.
