10 New Directions For WWE After The 2023 Draft

10. Women’s Champs Switching Belts

It might happen at Backlash, or WWE could hold off until the following episode of Raw, but Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley are surely trading straps at some point. After all, it doesn't make sense that both hold belts from shows they're no longer allowed to be on post-Draft.

Rhea is on Raw with the SmackDown prize, and Bianca is on SmackDown with the Raw one. It's a mess, and it means one of those belt swap angles is on the horizon. Many fans will be p*ssed at that, because it shows up a complete lack of planning from those callings the shots backstage.

This was totally avoidable.

There's just no way Ripley can continue holding the blue belt on Mondays though, and the same goes for Belair running around with her red one on Friday nights. WWE will look to sort this out quickly then move on from yet another brand split title mix up.
