Graham "GSM" Matthews welcomes back Alexis to WrestleRant Radio this week for a very special discussion: Does WWE have a women's promo problem? The answer is unequivocally yes, and they delve into exactly why.

Is it a combination of both among other factors?
The duo also discuss the latest addition to WWE Hall of Fame's Legacy Wing, Kevin Owens' injury and who Randy Orton's opponent for WrestleMania 41 could be instead, why Nick Aldis makes the most sense, all of the additions to the 'Mania card and where the excitement level is now, thoughts on AEW Dynasty, the event's awful ending and why they should have taken the chance to pivot, and more!
