AEW Announces Details Of Heels Community

A special place. Women’s wrestling has come such a long way in just a few years. Starting with the Women’s Revolution, women’s wrestling moved from little more than a sideshow to one of the most important parts of the industry. It was a long time coming but the payoff has worked rather well. WWE has seen one of the biggest rises, but it has become an industry wide change. Now AEW is getting in on it in a rather different way.

One of the most important things to do in all of wrestling is to keep the fans around. Making the fans care in the first place is one thing but making them stick around is a lot harder. Wrestling companies have to do the same things over and over but they are managing to find a way to get there. AEW has another idea and it is catering to a certain group of fans.

AEW has announced, by way of Wrestlinginc.com, that Heels, a wrestling community focused on women has officially launched. The community, led by Brandi Rhodes, is designed to allow female fans to have a safe environment to discuss wrestling. An annual membership will cost $49 and will offer fans a variety of features, including virtual meet and greets, exclusive Q&A sessions, customized merchandise and far more. The first event will take place on Friday, with a Q&A session with referee Aubrey Edwards.

They are starting in a big way. Check out some of the women involved in AEW:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that could work out well and is certainly an interesting concept. Women are not the largest group of wrestling fans but that does not mean they should not be given a place to enjoy their fandom. Giving them their own space is not a bad idea and if it helps build up the fanbase as a whole, that’s certainly a good thing. Hopefully this can work, as it is certainly a unique idea.
