7 Problems Plaguing WWE SmackDown Right Now

7. The Women’s Division

Simply put: the women’s division on SmackDown is one of the most creatively bankrupt divisions in WWE at the moment. How many multi-man or tags have they had on PPV? There are no feuds or storylines in the women’s division on SmackDown. The division itself is the storyline. The individuals have no motivation other than, "I should be champion/I should be #1 contender".

In theory, this is the right mentality. After all, why would they wrestle other than for a desire to be champion? However, when everyone is fighting for the title at once, and with a division so small, it comes off as repetitive and redundant. One month, it’s a six-woman tag, the next month, five-way, next month, tag match, next month, five-woman ladder match, next month... rinse and repeat.

It’s understandable that they want to have the women featured and to give as many superstars a spotlight as they can, but when every woman is on every PPV in matches with high stakes, it makes it feel like everything they do on weekly TV is completely meaningless. In a division with such talented wrestlers such as Charlotte and Becky Lynch or dynamic personalities such as Carmella, it is shameful that SmackDown makes it feel so boring and cyclical.
