Dear friends,
In the original EWA, we made history by doing something no other promotion had dared to do: treat women's wrestling as equivalent to men's wrestling. Thus, the Knockouts Division was born, and months later, MMouse Enterprises scrambled to form their own division to compete with the breakout success of the Knockouts Division. When that division was finally formed, my brother Vinnie Mouse -- a man -- became the first Women's Champion.
It's always been apparent that Mickey Mouse has never believed that women's wrestling is on par with men's wrestling (arguably better, in modern times); he made that much clear at From Dusk Til Dawn 3, where he refused to go along with myself and my niece Catherine in presenting Star vs. Amazon Pt. 3 in the night's main event.
Granted, the PWI has done a better job of showcasing their talented women's division than Mickey's earlier companies, but that can largely be attributed to Catherine. In 2019, we made history with the first-ever all women's PPV, after the original EWA presented Amazon vs Athena Star Pt. 2 on the main event of our Monday show. Then, we had our first-ever Takeover: Revolution, in which the Knockouts Division made history with the first-ever all women's Monday show. PWI has yet to try their hand at an all women event, not even on their C show. Hell, they've yet to hire any female referees, ring announcers, or interviewers! I am calling on PWI to get with the times; if Chairman Murrey is serious about giving fans what they want, he'd deliver on what the EWA has made the "new normal."
Now, onto my announcement.
Last year at Hell Hath No Fury, Nikki Bella went on to win the title tournament and the "Knockouts Cup." This year, the Knockouts Cup will be replaced by the first ever Queen of the Ring tournament; in which a tournament will be held and will conclude at Hell Hath No Fury 2. Nikki Bella's Knockouts Cup victory has automatically secured her a spot, and a series of qualifying matches will be held during the lead up to the PPV, in which the winner will also get a title shot at any time of their choosing, so long as they give notice. (This is different than the MITB briefcase holder, as all they need to 'cash in' is an official.)
I will have even further announcements pertaining to the Knockouts Division in the weeks to come, but for now, I implore Chairman Murrey to give the women of the PWI one night of their own.
I have accepted his challenge, now it's time for him to accept mine.
Sincerely, Benny Wade Mouse
