Beth Phoenix next asked why it is so important for ‘The Game’ to see women equal to men in the WWE.

Triple H said he wants someone who has passion and desire for the ring to have an opportunity and a platform to showcase themselves.

He wasn’t sure before if the fans were ready for something like this. But he’s sure they are now, and they’re screaming for it. Mae Young Classic will be another example of women showcasing their passion by knocking it out of the park.

Triple H was asked where he sees the women going in the future.

The COO of the WWE thinks they can go anywhere they want to. He explained how performers like Beth Phoenix don’t see the impact they can have on the young generation. As the previous generation of wrestlers influenced the new one, all these women are going to influence the young ones watching.
