#rw talks

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.

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.

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.

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. 

In June 2026, there were a total of 14 women’s matches. This is the same as May. There were 12 singles matches, and two tag team matches.

To note, this is the first time we have had a women’s match go over 20 minutes on TV. Another thing, this is the first time since February that there has been three women’s matches on a single show.

The shortest match this month was on the June 13th Collision, a singles match between Athena and Tiara James. This match lasted 2 minutes and 16 seconds.

The longest match this month was on the June 17th Dynamite, a singles match between Mercedes Moné and Hazuki. This match was 22 minutes and 26 seconds. It’s worth mentioning that the longest women’s matches in AEW history often feature Mercedes Moné.

Out of 8 shows this month, 4 of them had two matches, while one had 3. I want to take a moment to rectify a mistake I made on previous posts. I claimed there had not been three women’s matches at all this year, when we had indeed had three in February. My apologies for this oversight.

This month there were 20 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 June 10th Dynamite at 23 seconds. The longest segment was on the June 13th Collision at 3 minutes and 40 seconds.

Wrestling is in constant motion, so there is a change I have missed someone.

According to my data, the June 17th and 24th Dynamites had the least amount of women’s wrestlers, appearing at 7 total. The June 26th Collision had the most at 18 women’s wrestlers appearing.

This month, once again, Marina Shafir was the only woman to appear on every single show. I believe this is because she is in a male-centered faction. Unlike last month, she had a match this time.

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 this month was 17 hours 27 minutes and 11 seconds. The women only received 3 hours 14 minutes and 13 seconds. That time is further thinned out to 2 hours 38 minutes and 5 seconds of in-ring action.

The least amount of time the women had in-ring was on the June 10th Dynamite at 11 minutes and 22 seconds. The most amount of time the women had in-ring was on the June 27th Collision at 24 minutes and 14 seconds.

The least amount of TV time the women had was on the June 10th Dynamite at 13 minutes and 36 seconds. The most the women had was on the June 27th Collision at 33 minutes and 7 seconds.

As is routine at the end of these posts, I want to express my gratitude. I don’t know how many times I can say how thankful I am for all the love and attention I get on these posts. Talking about and bringing awareness to these issues within the women’s division is a passion I’ve had long before I began this project. Being able to post about it in a way that helps bring attention forward means the world to me.

I am hoping to make a 6 month recap, but we will see what happens. Tracking and gathering this information is already a challenge, trying to comprise it into one post is daunting.

Nevertheless, all the reblogs, tags, comments, and notes are very encouraging. Please continue to interact with these posts and this subject. It is motivating to see people who care.
