The Basic's Guide to: Women's Wrestling
By Liz Silva
Welcome to The Basic's Guide to: Women's Wrestling where Liz and Joseph recap the week's wrestling, but strictly women's wrestling. Thanks to Bayley vs Sasha at NXT Takeover:Brooklyn we were sucked back in to the world of wrestling we thought we left behind in 7th grade.
