WWE has well and truly destroyed its women’s division and it’s just sad.
After one point you just have to hang your head in shame and accept the fact that WWE has NO idea, ZERO, nada, about what’s going on in the women’s division. The company has tried multiple times to prove to the fans that they are building the best women’s division in the planet, but in reality, even TNA is better than them at hyping their women and giving them good matches.
With a number of stars out injured, the onus has been on those present to make the most of their opportunities and really make an impact. In that regard Chelsea Green was handed the title when Rhea Ripley got injured and many fans thought it would be the start of a new era for the star.
Now that Green is a few months into her reign, it really hasn’t been that great. The match against Bella has been widely criticised, but it’s not just Green’s problem. The entire women’s division in WWE stinks at the moment.
WWE Has Destroyed Its Women’s Division
At one point, WWE’s women’s division was enviable. Becky Lynch was one of the hottest stars in the world, while Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Bayley were tearing the world apart. Rising stars such as Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley were rising through the ranks, and world renowned names like Ronda Rousey was tearing the house down.
Now, the women’s division is a shadow of its former self. Major players are often overlooked while the same people keep on running the day to day business of the division. Mediocre wrestlers like Jade Cargill are handed out opportunity after opportunity because of their physique and marketability while more accomplished and talented stars like Roxanne Perez and Lyra Valkyria are largely drowning in obscurity. Most stars like Jordynne Grace and Kiana James appear for a few seconds and then disappear without a trace.
The division has not been having great matches either. The Money in the Bank match this year was a great chance to crown a new star but that was squandered while Tiffany Stratton got the most predictable finish and the win. Since her MITB win, there has been a tease on almost all episodes of RAW and SmackDown while fans can more or less guess that the title will go to Stratton after she betrays Green.
The Judgment Day have been abysmal on the show and Liv Morgan along with the rest of her female cohorts are either never in action or are placed in random matches. Perez has not had a proper feud in ages while Raquel seems to have forgotten that she is the women’s IC Champion.
Speaking of forgotten champions, Jacy Jayne has defended her United States Title once in the past 80 days. Her reign has sucked out all the momentum she had after joining the main roster and now it seems that she is also an afterthought.
The state of the women’s division is abysmal at this point with some of the worst booking possible happening on the brand. Apart from some random title changes here and there, the rest of the division is awful. The Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer feud had to be scrapped thanks the latter’s health issues. Just when WWE finds a new star and a main event caliber superstar, things start to go downhill.
The matches have also not lived up to the mark. Green has been awful as a wrestler while many of the other matches that have involved either The Baddies or Nia Jax have been hard to watch. There are plenty of botches that really destroys the credibility of the division while most women don’t get the necessary time to showcase their talents.
Something needs to change and it needs to happen as soon as possible.
