10 Booking Steps For WWE Queen Of The Ring
10. A 16-Entrant Field
Save for one or two names (see: Becky Lynch), WWE is incapable of booking a women's division with in-depth story arcs and complex characters.
Regardless, the talent within these divisions is immense. WWE isn't exactly lacking in entrant numbers for such a tournament, rendering a typical eight-person field unacceptable. 16 entrants at the absolute least is a must.
The Raw and SmackDown women's rosters could fill this alone, and still have a handful of names left on the sidelines. While the tournament shouldn't be restricted to these talents alone for the avoidance of creating a dull field, the fact remains that WWE has an abundance of seminal talents on the red and blue shows, however, they'd rather make them possessed as opposed to wrestle decent matches. Alexa Bliss is a great wrestler - remember those days?
Of course, the recent reports from Mat Men Pro Wrestling's Podcast's Andrew Zarian, which states that the tourney will commence on the 8 October SmackDown episode and culminate at a Saudi Arabia show on 21 October renders this unlikely, unless WWE hosts all the opening round matches in one week, followed by the quarterfinals the following week. The Saudi Arabia show would feature only the semifinals and the finals.
By harking back to the early King Of The Ring days, though, you're instantaneously deeming this tournament as a prestigious event.
