Carmella is the only female superstar to compete in all four of the 'Big Four' pay-per-view events of 2018.

She entered the women's Royal Rumble, competed in the Women's WrestleMania Battle Royal, defended the SmackDown Women's Championship at SummerSlam, and participated in the women's five-on-five elimination match at Survivor Series. All other prominent female superstars missed at least one event (Ronda Rousey & Charlotte Flair didn't compete at the Royal Rumble, Asuka missed SummerSlam, Becky Lynch was injured at Survivor Series).

For reference, here are the other women who have achieved this in years gone by (Including pre-show matches but not dark matches):

2017 - Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, Naomi & Natalya (all of them had at least one pre-show match)

2016 - Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch (all main card matches)

2015 - Paige (all main card matches)

Before 2015, you'd have to go all the way back to 2001, when Ivory achieved this feat, however her match at Survivor Series took place on Heat. Before this, no woman had competed at all four 'Big Four' pay-per-view events. Just thought it was interesting.

Edit: The Women’s WrestleMania Battle Royal took place on the pre-show, but regardless she’s still the only female to appear on all four events, pre-shows included.

WWE KITCHEN SMACKDOWN! COMPETITION SHOW PREMIERING ON WWE NETWORK


Screenshot-18-e1534885135587.jpg


We posted about two programs airing on WWE Network but that’s not all! The third new program set to air on the streaming service next week is a WWE Network original on cooking! WWE Kitchen Smackdown! is scheduled to air on the live stream on Thursday, December 27th at 7 PM EST.

Hosted by Bo Dallas, the competition show is a cookoff that features a mix of modern stars from RAW along with WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, pro athlete Enes Kanter, and Noelle Foley who has been featured on WWE Network original programs in the past. Much like with the other programs, it’s unclear as to whether or not a full series is coming surrounding this topic but at the very least a pilot is airing.

Below is the synopsis for the Kitchen Smackdown! program:

Dana Brooke, Alicia Fox and Curtis Axel compete in a cookoff for guest judges Enes Kanter, Noelle Foley and Mark Henry, hosted by Bo Dallas.
 
Meltzer makes a good point.

In ring wise, he said Benoit would be a much bigger star today vs. what he was during the Mid 90s, due to his believably and intensity; as well as his skill. The stigma of being a smaller wrestler doesn't exist now.
People say that Benoit was bad on the mic but I never saw it. I always thought he was ok
