The listing for the panel notes, "Wrestling has become more and more popular around the world. With promotions like WWE AEW Impact and New Japan Pro Wrestling wrestling continues to make a mark on our hearts. Wrestling is a form of entertainment that can bring all types of people together. But there is an important piece that makes the world of wrestling go round. That's where women come in. Women have been making their marks in wrestling such as Bianca Belair Charlotte Flair Jade Cargill Deonna Purrazzo and many other women in the indie promotions such as Janai Kai Viva Van and more!" Women are integral when it comes to the wrestling business from being a referee, a reporter, an interviewer, a commentator, a writer, and/or a podcaster. Women who work in all parts of the business will be highlighting the importance of having more women, especially women of color in the wrestling business. Why women are needed more on the screen and behind the scenes. Plus much more!
