5 Ways To Make WWE Raw's Women's Division Great Again
Raw's Women's Division is starting to become stagnant - it's time to stir the pot a bit.
Remember earlier this year, when the women's division was really hitting its stride? It wasn't the same old Raw's like we were used to seeing - matches were going over ten minutes, the women got some quality mic time and the quality of work they were putting out really shined. It seemed like everything was going in the right direction.
Then the draft happened.
Since the splitting of the roster, RAW's women's division has been floundering. It seems like every week, we have the same reoccurring segments with the pieces slightly mixed up. Sure, the WWE Network special matches have been good, but the stories they are using to get to the same conclusion is what they have been doing for years. Even with the recent addition of Bayley, we are getting low level quality matches and stories by performers that can all do better.
With a couple of superstars slated to return soon, it's time to take a good hard look at the division and see what WWE creative can do to bring the division back to the level it once was.
Here are five ways WWE can make Raw's Women's Division great again...
5. Turn Sasha Banks Heel
Remember back at Takeover: Brooklyn, when Sasha Banks did a small pirouette, then slapped the taste out of Bayley's mouth? Or at Takeover: Respect, when she made a young fan cry by taking her headband, then making fun of her for it? Those moments defined The Boss.
That WAS The Boss. Ever since she debut on Raw as a part of the Divas Revolution, Sasha Banks' character has become a shadow to her NXT self. Her mannerisms in the ring have gotten monotonous, her positivity makes her bland, and she is coming off as just another bland babyface wrestler. In fact, her NXT work would probably be pretty embarrassed as to what she has become.
Sasha Banks needs to be reignited, and the best way to accomplish that is to turn her heel.
Now that Bayley is on Raw, she can carry the banner of top babyface in the Women's division and let Sasha be what she's great at - a fierce, cocky, and arrogant villain who would rather tear an audience member's poster in half than take a selfie with them. Sure this might leave Bayley as the ONLY babyface on the Raw roster, but having a heel Sasha Banks will do wonders for a division that seems to be running in place.
