Both Women’s Championships: Make the Champion Legitimate
The problem with the current Raw and SmackDown Live women’s champions is that they both play the exact same character. Alexa Bliss and Carmella play chicken heels who keep retaining the title by cheating, outside interference, and other nefarious means.
Now, this would be fine if just one of them were playing this character. But having the women’s title on both brands viewed as the “cowardly heel” belt isn’t exactly a great look for the women’s division as a whole. It makes the entire division seem like the Divas of old, and not the great wrestlers that most, if not all of them actually are.
There’s a simple fix for this. Either let Carmella and Bliss showcase their true abilities, rather than sit back and be cowards, or put the titles on women with truly dangerous auras around them. Immediately, Asuka on SmackDown Live and Ronda Rousey on Raw come to mind. You can kill two birds with one stone here, as if Asuka gets her big title win at SummerSlam, it makes her and the entire division look great.
Drive her and Rousey as the champions into WrestleMania 35 and you could have a great, strong-style champion vs. champion match to burn the house down in April.
