5 inter-gender matches that have taken place in WWE

Dean Ambrose and Nia Jax are wrestling in one-on-one competition! Yes! It is 2019, and we are getting an inter-gender matchup-in WWE. WWE is known to play it safe but has recently taken a turn for the good with interactions between both the divisions.

WWE is no stranger to inter-gender matchups, with several competitors such as Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle and Triple H having competed in such encounters.

WWE had a brief inter-gender feud between Becky Lynch(during her pre-Man days) and James Ellsworth. It was followed by several female superstars giving Ellsworth a beating of a lifetime on several house shows.

WWE's decision to put Nia Jax at No.30 was controversial and sent shockwaves throughout the WWE Universe. However, the seeds were planted for inter-gender action and it is a step in the right direction.

That being said, we look at five amazing inter-gender matches which took place in the Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression Era.

#5 Lita vs Dean Malenko

Lita is one of the true trailblazers of the Women's Revolution in WWE. She performed at the highest level in an era where women were considered as mere objects for the male gaze.

Lita and former WCW superstar Dean Malenko produced an inter-gender matchup in WWE. Dean Malenko is considered one of the finest wrestlers to have ever graced the wrestling ring, and both these superstars produced an entertaining encounter.

Lita held her own in a match against a highly talented superstar and took some nasty shots throughout their bout. Lita competed in several such matchups throughout her career, and as we will see later in the article, produced some memorable inter-gender bouts.

This matchup during the RAW is WAR era was a fiercely contested one. If WWE brings back inter-gender matchups back on a regular basis, expect more cruiserweights to fight the female superstars.
