7 Reasons Why WWE Hot-Shotting The Raw Women's Title Is Good For Business

1. They're The Best Women For The Job

The Women’s Revolution might be WWE’s strongest televised asset at the moment, and no rivalry other than Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte Flair could have elevated it to this level.

They produce the Match of the Night almost every time they get together, and this week’s Raw showdown was another barnburner. There’s a loose, risky element of danger every time Sasha and Charlotte fight, and nobody can match their intensity at the moment. As WWE’s PG product becomes increasingly sanitised, their matches stand-out for their brutal, visceral feel, and that’s down to their excellent chemistry.

WWE can’t keep booking them against each other forever, but these matches have far from ran their course. HIAC brought a couple of missteps, but for the most part, the audiences are still invested, and Sasha and Charlotte keep finding new spots to differentiate each match from the last. It’s not as fresh as it used to be, but Charlotte vs. Sasha is far from played-out.

At a time when wrestling is almost completely devoid of natural stars, WWE have miraculously found a way to spotlight two at the same time. As popular as Becky Lynch and Bayley are, neither can match the star quality and flashiness that Sasha and Charlotte bring to the table. They might be smoother in the ring, but Becky and Bayley don’t make headlines like Sasha and Charlotte, and that’s critical.

These two have given us plenty of great matches to enjoy over the past few months, and without their hotshot rivalry, the Women’s Revolution wouldn’t be where it is today. Simply put, they’re the best women for the job.
