The course of the Raw and Smackdown women’s division was changed to a big extent with six female talents getting added on the previous week’s edition of the shows. On the flagship show, Paige returned on WWE Raw with Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose by her side to create a new faction. This was the first-ever appearance for the latter duo on Monday Nights.
On the very next day, three more NXT debuts were reserved on Smackdown Live. This time around, Ruby Riot was the supposed leader for two more NXT names, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan. All the three female talents made their debut on the main roster by putting the entire locker room on notice.
Needless to say, these inclusions will alter the women’s division, going forward. For quite some time now, things were getting stale on the shows with repetitive matches. Raw was suffering the most with Alexa Bliss being the central character, all the time. From now onwards, these emerging talents alongside the returning Paige will fetch the spotlight, for sure.
Their inclusion will also keep the fans talking about the upcoming scenario of the women’s division. Previously, the reports suggested that Vince McMahon was the reason behind calling these ladies on the main roster to make things unpredictable.
In addition, Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that some ‘marginal talents’ were quite upset over their status and they were given security with these moves. The names that made their debut on Raw and Smackdown were not the focal point of the NXT Women’s division. Hence, they might be quite nervous about their spot in the company especially some names getting released in the recent past. In addition, some names on the main roster are also conscious of a future cut with new names debuting.
However, we should consider that six addition on the roster means that more subtractions might be waiting in the near future. Plus, WWE has already released names like Summer Rae and Emma from the Raw roster which means that they had this plan in mind for quite sometimes.
Hopefully, these call-ups stay relevant on the show, going forward and does not suffer the same consequence like Dana Brooke or Emma. Despite being talented ones, they have not been able to showcase it on the flagship show. Debuting as a faction might come handy for the emerging stars.
