Despite her recent dethroning as Raw Women's Champion, WWE still views Becky Lynch as the top heel in the red brand's division.

PWInsider's Mike Johnson published that company's latest list of internal roster rankings following a slew of recent returns and alignment changes on Raw. Understandably, champion Bianca Belair currently sits atop the babyface list;-

A higher position for Asuka would have been a reasonable assumption, given that the Japanese star recently returned to WWE television to much aplomb - and wrestled Belair in this week's main event. Their short bout was unfortunately interrupted by Lynch, who has just entered a feud with the Empress of Tomorrow.

Bliss, meanwhile, is another fresh comeback, having flattened a despondent Sonya Deville on this week's show.

Here's how WWE currently has Raw's heels positioned:-

1. Becky Lynch

2. Rhea Ripley

3. Lacey Evans

4. Carmella

5. Zelina Vega

6. Doudrop

7. Nikki A.S.H.

8. Tamina

Ripley is likely the biggest climber here, having turned heel on former tag team partner Liv Morgan ahead of joining Edge's The Judgment Day stable at WrestleMania Backlash 2022 (8 May). Evans has just crossed over from SmackDown, where she had been built up as a babyface for several weeks before quietly flipping alignments.
