Diana has done just that to a lot of strong characters already so.
Like all comic characters do. Let's not act like comics were ever consistent with power level portrayal. Because we wouldn't live long enough, if we had to name all the power inconsistencies in comics.

But why should we assume that mary marvel should be more powerful? WW has powers from the Gods too. Your argument could be used for WW as well. If DC writers stop sh|tting on the WW lore and write a competent WW. She would be even higher. After all, WW is the one that was historically known as stronger than Hercules, Faster than Hermes. She outdid the Gods during a contest from Golden Age. And has defeated Gods, including Hercules, Mercury etc multiple times since then. Current WW has all the powers the Gods gave her in Post Crisis, plus the adition of Hephaestus, Zeus and Hecate. So based on power source, she should be flying even higher than her past versions on the power chart.

Her fight against Powergirl showed WW as in the same power class. But Diana was holding back during a good portion of the fight. The moment she started fighting back more seriously, Diana showed she was totally capable of taking PG down. The writer of the comic has confirmed that WW didn't want to fight PG, which made PG look better at first.
WW can take on bloodlusted Superman, so okay.

The most consistent comics is short-lived comics. Or if the certain comic book character which has a certain and one writer (but even this isn't a guarantee, someitmes same writer can contradict himself).

But that isn't the case with mainstream comics. Their stories never end. And they have multiple writers portraying the characters differently in multiple titles at the same time.

That;s the main reason. That's why heroes doersn't kill (no-kill rule is a censorship scar, also) and even killed characters almost always gets back to the life.
ALOT of strong women don't have the feats. Even if they're comparable like SG, PG, Jen (buff version), then they don't have that constant to back it up. All those mentioned can give her a run....I'd toss in Maxima and well written Barda (martially). Another issue with her is she get too often lumped in with Clark. She's not on his level but by nature of association and plot based fights it skews things

She is not on his level because of multiple factors. And sexism is one. We can learly find a good amount of examples where the treatment she got as a character(and it goes beyond power level) was very questionable. And ironic that it happened to the so called feminist girl power icon number one of the comic realm. Like she was created to be his equal. And how many times have we heard a statement about her being on his level? This is a great example of a company givin lipservice but not puttng their money where their mouth is. So that's where the problem begins. Why would anybody should assume that WW performing well against SM is only plot based, when according to DC's many statements, she can give him a run for his money. If she is all that, she should be able to hold her own if she truly is all that DC says she is. In the end. WW being compared to SM has done her more harm than good. That's why i prefer WW to stay away from the SM lore and the batman lore. Forget about a trinity that never existed. It's batman, then some SM and then everybody else. Let her be her own character, shine on her own as a powerhouse. And stop the silly comparisions and the whole hero vsa hero that in my opion is topo over done at this point. Like everything becomes just an empty and vain popularity contest.
