Never Meet Your Heroes: Lyra vs Becky at Backlash
We asked for it, we begged for it, and finally, one of the newly minted women's midcard titles will take center stage at a Premium Live Event. The Women's Intercontinental Championship will be defended at a PLE for the very first time since the title was introduced in the end of November 2024, and it will be the current and inaugural champion Lyra Valkyria defending against Becky Lynch in what should be a heated battle that went from teacher vs student in NXT, to a good vs evil, emotionally charged fight.

The United States of Zelina
Even now, many hours later, I'm still so over the moon over this! I said it before, and I'll say it here. The mission regarding the instillation of the Women's Intercontinental and United States Championships in the end of 2024 was to give chances to the women who were lost in the shuffle for so long. Despite WWE having a very deep women's roster, only a select view are valued when it comes to the top titles. Fans had been begging for midcard titles for the women for a long time, and we finally got them. The titles were introduced in the fall of 2024, and on Saturday Night's Main Event in December 2024, Chelsea Green became WWE's first-ever Women's United States Champion. A month later on January 13, 2025, Lyra Valkyria became WWE's first-ever Women's Intercontinental Champion.

Busting the Biological Clock Myth: Empowering Women’s Choices
The most well-thought-out advice provided to women of this generation seems to be, "Have a baby when you are ready to raise one." But nobody discusses how to get there. One has to prepare for pregnancy only when one is ready financially, emotionally, and physically, as feminist discourses remind us. But due to your "ticking biological clock," this has to be done in a hurry. There was always pressure on women to bear children.

Aviation Safety
Aviation safety is one of the great success stories of modern regulatory oversight. Over the past few decades, commercial aviation has become the safest mode of transportation, thanks to rigorous regulations, continuous technological improvements, and the collaboration of experts from various fields. However, recent political maneuvering threatens to undermine these hard-earned gains, turning aviation safety into a partisan issue rather than treating it as the essential public concern it truly is.

Women You Dislike Are Allowed To Be Victims
Awareness of women's experiences with domestic violence and abuse have come to the forefront of cultural discourse in the last decade. The #MeToo movement changed the way the media and society at large respond when a woman makes an allegation against a famous man. Overall, this has helped reveal serial abusers in prominent roles, but what happens when the accused is a well-beloved man? And, perhaps the accuser an unlikeable woman? The response becomes more complicated and uglier than normal.
