The Fall of WOW: "Unleashed" PPV Doomed from the Start

Note: I typically like to do WWE or AEW history in this section but February 4th was not a very exciting day in eithers history, so here’s a story I found more interesting than what was going on in either WWE or AEW on this day.

23 years ago today, Women of Wrestling (WOW) presented their first—and only—pay-per-view event, Unleashed, live from Inglewood, California. Despite drawing an attendance of around 9,500 fans, the event was a commercial disaster, with only 6,000 homes purchasing the PPV—meaning more people were in the arena than watching from home.

The show was plagued by numerous technical difficulties, production glitches, and incredibly short matches. In fact, the first four bouts combined lasted under three minutes, and half of the night’s matches wrapped up in less than five. The sloppy production, poor match pacing, and lackluster quality led many to consider Unleashed one of the worst wrestling events in history.

Look at all these 5 star - 2 minute matches!

The fallout was swift. WOW announced a second PPV during the broadcast, but the promotion folded just a month later, ceasing all original programming. However, not all was lost in the ring: Caged Heat (Delta Lotta Pain and Loca) defeated Harley’s Angels (Charlie Davidson and EZ Rider) to become the WOW Tag Team Champions, while Terri Gold captured the WOW World Championship by defeating Danger.

While Unleashed marked the end of an era, WOW made surprising comebacks—first in 2012 and again in 2022—proving that even after historic missteps, wrestling promotions can find a way back to the spotlight.

WWE

Joe Hendry has his sights set on one of WWE’s biggest names, revealing his determination to face John Cena in 2025. "As soon as I won this championship, the next day, I'm calling out John Cena," Hendry stated. "The same way I believed I would be in the Royal Rumble, I believe that I will wrestle John Cena this year. There is no doubt. I had the opportunity to tell John Cena that. We had a one-on-one conversation." Hendry’s confidence adds an intriguing layer to WWE’s upcoming storylines.

Kevin Owens’ performance at the 2025 Royal Rumble has earned him significant backstage praise. Reports suggest that his in-ring work, dedication to storytelling, and ability to elevate his opponents have solidified his reputation as one of WWE’s most reliable and versatile performers.

According to TMZ, Charlotte Flair and Andrade have officially finalized their divorce. While the details remain private, sources close to the couple note that the split was amicable. Both continue to focus on their wrestling careers, with Flair recently winning the Women's Royal Rumble.

Jey Uso addressed criticism from fans who were unhappy with his Royal Rumble victory. Uso emphasized his journey, stating that his win wasn’t handed to him but earned through years of hard work. His response has fueled further discussions about his role as a top contender heading into WrestleMania season.

📺 Triple H Reveals Details About New WWE Show “EVOLVE”

Triple H shared insights on WWE’s upcoming show, EVOLVE, which will stream on Tubi opposite AEW Dynamite. "That will be a show that I’m excited about," he said. "In many ways for me, it seems like going back to the very beginning of NXT, where nobody knew who anybody was, and it was just a bunch of young kids trying to find their way to get in the business, and that’s what we’re going to go back to with that show." The project aims to spotlight emerging talent in a developmental setting.

AEW

Nic Nemeth provided insight into Jon Moxley’s evolving AEW character, hinting at darker layers emerging in recent weeks. "There is some madness slowly appearing in front of our face, and I really feel like last night's words from Moxley were like giving you this 'I have this beautiful plan. It's 100 pages... And I think he's slowly becoming deranged and paranoid. And it's really awesome and subtle. And it takes time, if we give it time," Nemeth explained. This character shift has intrigued fans as Moxley heads into his next title defense.

Despite years in the ring, Dustin Rhodes isn’t slowing down anytime soon. In a recent interview, Rhodes discussed his long-term plans to continue wrestling, emphasizing his passion for the business and desire to help mentor AEW’s rising stars. His resilience and commitment continue to inspire both fans and younger talent alike.
