WWE Over The Limit Female Matches

With the recent decision to rename a lot of the B-level PPV events to match the main stipulation of each show, causing No Way Out to become Elimination Chamber and the recent alterations/additions of TLC, Hell in a Cell, Fatal 4-Way and Money in the Bank joining with the more established Extreme Rules, Royal Rumble, Night of Champions and Survivor Series, WWE fans knew going in, even before any actual match-ups had been announced, what they were in for in regards to match types.

So it was a surprise to many when Over the Limit was announced on the PPV calendar, because for the first time in a long time, there was no “theme” to the show on which we could hang our hat. Indeed, many a discussion centred around this very topic, wondering why this show had no overriding stipulation attached. That’s not to say there wasn’t gimmick matches on the show (there were two), but in a time when ever PPV is labelled according to a gimmick, Over the Limit stood out simply because it had nothing overt to make it stand out.
