Women in IWE

From Iwe

Throughout its history, women have served in various onscreen roles in the American professional wrestling promotion IWE. In the 1990s, IWE (then known as the International Wrestling Federation) introduced the term Diva to refer to its female performers. The term was applied to women who appear as wrestlers, managers or valets, backstage interviewers, or ring announcers. The term was discontinued at WrestleMania 32 on April 3, 2016 when the new Women's Championship was introduced. IWE currently refers to their female talent as Women/Female Superstars or simply Superstars.
