WNBA is the same. We literally watched a rigged finals last year that was so absurdly blatant, the WNBA X account was flooded with thousands of people calling out the obvious steal.
There was a great book that came out years back called "The Fix is In" by Brian Tuohy. He gets into a lot of granular detail but his main argument is that there's too much money at stake for pro sports to NOT big rigged, especially when you learn that legally, the professional sports leagues have every bit as much autonomy to fix their games as the WWE writers room.
The NBA has gotten most of the attention out of the "Big 4" because it's been so blatant and because a ref actually got caught, and wrote a book stating that most of his peers were doing the same thing. But it's certainly happening at times with the other pro sports.
