The RAW Women’s Division
Highlights of the division
Nia Jax scored the biggest win of her career against the Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss. The only question remains, will the Samoan capture her first championship in the WWE. She’s been the only female talent in the division to be booked consistently since the draft last year. The WWE has nothing to lose and everything to gain by gambling on the powerhouse of the Women’s Revolution.
The rest of the challengers in the fatal 5-way match at No Mercy shouldn’t be looked at as favourites to win the gold. Especially for the returning Bayley, she clearly has a lot of work ahead of her, regarding her stale character. She didn’t get the best reception in her hometown which is troubling to say the least. It’s time she either ditches her huggable persona or add realistic layers that the fans can relate to.
Both Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss shouldn’t be walking out as champion at No Mercy. The title picture has been dominated by both women since June, it’s time for a change.
Meanwhile, for the rest of the division.
Other women in the division should step up after No Mercy concludes and feud with these top contenders. Mickie James, Dana Brooke and Alicia Fox don’t need to be stuck at the WWE Main Event show every week. Same goes for Emma, she’ll need to remain in the limelight after No Mercy concludes. It’s time the division hits a reset button after No Mercy, so we’re not stuck watching the same four women every week.
These are the rankings for the division this week.
