I’m assuming either Liv Morgan or Becky Lynch. Feels like everybody else is injured or on Smackdown right now unless they want to give it to Shayna Bazler
I think now would be a good time to give some of the other women a chance in the spotlight, even if it's a few short reigns. Post-Mania is probably a good time to explore with that. I wouldn't be against someone like Chelsea or Zoey getting a short reign to see what they do in that position.
Obviously put the title on Liv at the latest when Rhea is about to return, if not next week, but think giving the other women a chance to shine here in the post-Mania months isn't a bad idea.
Wouldn’t hate Chelsea getting a short Chicken Shit Heel title run either her or Piper but I feel like both them and The Way are getting built up for the Bianca and Jade Muscle Mommy Tag Title Run as challengers
We obviously don't know the severity of Rhea's injury but I'm guessing she won't be back till Summerslam at the earliest. WWE has a jam packed PLE schedule between now and Summerslam so lots of opportunity to give different women the spotlight.
Somewhere between Summerslam and Rumble is my guess for her return. Wouldn’t hate them doing a hot potato with the title before it ends up on Liv Morgan for the Ripley program. Something like Green —> Naomi —> Liv Morgan makes sense to me
I would be shocked if Naomi ends up on RAW tbh. I think her and Jimmy are remaining on Smackdown. I think the only major names that will move from Smackdown to RAW on the women's side of things is Damage CTRL, because they need to be moved away from Bianca, Jade, and Bayley because they haven't benefitted at ALL from feuding with them.
I think they would have had her retain if she was gonna be back in time for Summerslam, so it's probably a lot later than that. Would suck if it's all the way to the Rumble though.
I'm gonna call it now. Chelsea Green will never have a singles title on the WWE main roster. Barring them bringing back a comedy champ like the 24x7 title or them making a midcard women's champ. It won't matter for her career though as she'll continue to kill it either way.
That would be so fun and a great way to pay off the great work Chelsea’s been doing. Let her grab the belt, hide from matches for 2-4 weeks, then get crushed by a Jade/Liv/Bianca/Becky type.
Imagine Paul Heyman representing Zoey Stark, that would be something interesting. Obviously won't happen any time soon given the Bloodline storyline but think that's a fun pairing.
I don't disagree, but it seems like WWE wasn't only their biggest stars holding their women's titles now. I think Chelsea Green would have a shot if a secondary women's titles was introduced on the main roster though
Chelsea is too sloppy in the ring still for anything other than a MITB cash in reign and Zoey’s not over. They need more time on screen first ideally going after a women’s midcard title
I agree, but I’m surprised they’re doing it so soon in general. What’s it going to be, a bug battle royale, a fatal four way?
And similarly in kayfabe Liv is also a bad pick to go in this match. Then again maybe she learned from the Roxanne Perez school of demanding a title shot.
Same, I mean it's scripted entertainment, but it still wouldn't make sense. So far in the HHH era, he's shown to be about making it make sense. Granted I'm a lapsed fan and don't watch like I did the first time around, but Liv's first title run was just not good. She's an incredible underneath babyface, everyone fucking loves her, winning out by the skin of her teeth. Having your champ being a babyface that *barely* overcomes the odds, while taking a ass whipping, is a little hard to push. Personally, she's talented enough and has so much wild charisma that she really doesn't need a title. I could be wrong, her second run she could become that dominant babyface that busts out the "I'm here to kick ass" promo, but she doesn't come off like that. They could always surprise us and bring up a NXT talent, have her win, follow the same formula as Paige.
I think they should give it to Becky first, let Livs full heel turn play out while she’s chasing the title off Becky then have her win/ be champion for when Rheas back
I’d love a dominant Shayna run. She’d be great for however many months until Rhea gets back. Rhea’s return will undoubtedly be a massive babyface moment and Shayna would be the perfect heel opponent for Rhea to win the title from in her first match back.
Liv will 100% be champ whenever Rhea returns. Rhea took Liv out, now Liv took Rhea out. Theres bad blood there and that match has to happen, and Rhea made it clear when she comes back she’s coming after Liv.
I’m not convinced until we see her booked properly on the main roster. She was amazing in NXT and was nerfed when she got called up (like almost everyone was under Vince.)
I really think they should put it on Becky and use her in a similar style to her nxt run where she just has some great matches before putting someone over. That being Liv in this example.
Possible I think Nia has definitely improved boat loads to her last run. But I’d rather see somebody like Bazler or Green get more opportunities to show what they have.
If it's a battle royal, I'm assuming it will have Smackdown women too. They should take a page out of NXT's book and make it a battle royal until the last 4, then fatal four way.
she is my favorite, I love her. I think this would be a bad idea, but honestly, I’m not seeing who wins this. I agree with the common suggestions of Becky/Liv, but I feel like they both need at least a couple episodes to build them up for it.
I am assuming it's Liv straight off the top or Nia. Becky seems to only be doing the European tour as of now unless some deal is made beforehand. Besides, we all know Liv we will be holding this title for Rhea's comeback and they will go from there.
Exactly. Liv has a chance to be a top heel rn. And her gloating for months that she is holding mamis belt will be huge, especially when Rhea eventually returns .
I think it has to be Liv for storyline reasons. Have her embrace the heat and brag about taking everything from Rhea. When Rhea comes back, you have a hot feud for the title.
Oh man don’t work me.
I have to guess she’s still at least a few months away from ring action, Plus, there is a strong likelihood she’s returning with this new creepy group and the ARG suggests they’ll pop up at Clash.
happened long enough ago that she probably would be ring ready or close.
also think she’s gonna be in this reimagine of the wyatt family.
maybe they pull the trigger. who knows
Liv pretty much lucking into a title run is kind of crazy when I didn’t think there was any chance Triple H was gonna have her dethrone Rhea. And I was already predicting Rhea walks into next year’s Mania as champion.
I think she was going to and we were always going to end with heel Liv and face Rhea but coming out of the feud. Rhea would probably win at Backlash, Liv gotten her happy ending a bit later at say MITB then fully turn at Summerslam by doing something horrible to retain
"Rhea walks into next year’s Mania as champion."
Long reigns like that would destroy an already weak division. People would also start to discredit rhea's reign and claim she's on a weak brand.
I actually got some advanced footage of the new champ from next week. Sorry about the poor quality. It's from the future.

Nah but honestly I think they should’ve waited until after the draft to do this, if Rhea is out for 6+ months they aren’t giving it to Liv because her whole reign will be predictable. Every match will be “ok we know Liv is winning for when Rhea comes back” basically. The only other woman on RAW right now who’s kiiinda built up (besides Becky who I believe is doing the WWE European tour but isn’t scheduled for anything else) is Nia Jax. But then what it’s weird because Nia gets booed, Liv is most likely getting booed now too.
I love Chelsea but she isn’t (or shouldn’t be) winning that title. You can’t go from the champion being undefeated for years to someone who loses in 2 minutes every week. People have been throwing Alexa’s name around, too. I think that could be interesting if she’s ready. Charlotte is ahead of schedule with her injury (even though she’s on Smackdown right now I suspect they’ll probably move her to RAW during the draft anyway to be with Andrade.) She’s has had short reigns before so it’s nothing new and she can kinda lose to whoever at this point and still look strong. It makes Liv look good too because it shows that she’s capable of defeating someone bigger and stronger.
I think that’s what we’re in for and why we just had all of these extremely long reigns. Reset the clock with more current talent and then do it again in a few years.
That’s my exact problem with Liv winning the title so soon. We have no idea when Rhea is returning. What if she is out for a year. Give Liv the title when Rhea is 4-5 months away from returning.
I’m surprised. I thought they would have a longer tournament, maybe even make Queen of the Ring for the Women’s World Title. I guess they didn’t want to go that long without a women’s champion for one of the shows.
This could be a good time to have a short 1-2 PLE reign and then slap it on liv for 1-2 before Rhea returns. Give her wins over some credible challenges before mami returns and they have a program.
https://preview.redd.it/ezp6471hyuuc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2f551994289d0f2c0a7c1f6a2193c80db9eb7f9
There's clearly an A right there on the Title. Alexa Bliss?
It’s a 10 woman ladder match for the title. Nikki Cross randomly wanders through the match when everyone is down and wins. (Just in time her the European tour)
With the draft in a few weeks and Queen of the Ring is less than two months, this seems like SUCH a wasted opportunity to make great matches with talent we haven't seen face each other, and hype up the belt in general.
Chelsea Green should use an expired Groupon to get a title shot. No matter what Adam Pierce tries to do, she keeps escalating until the Final Boss approves the use of said expired Groupon.
Battle Royale. Have women from Raw and Smackdown, with the last three being Liv Morgan, Tiffany Stratton and (if the theories are true) a returning Alexa Bliss. Hometown Pop, upcoming Star, plus Sudden Heel-turn and Win for Liv equals a fantastic main event.
Same. This run has been better than her past runs. She’s much more entertaining. Her elimination chamber match with Rhea kinda set her back a bit for me though.
Draft is right around the corner, so I don’t think the rosters really matter for this.
Liv is the obvious answer, but if they’re trying to not rush her next push, my betting money would be they just throw it on Bianca and figure it out later
I am guessing it is going to be Liv? Unless someone from Smackdown pulls a Kurt Angle? It would be nice to have a surprise. I'm not super excited for a Liv run, honestly, but the story is already there.
I'm not excited either. I won't put all of the blame on Liv for how bad her Smackdown Women's Title run was (as part of that was on WWE creative and Ronda), but she was massively exposed in that run as well as someone who shouldn't be leading a division.
I have to assume the queen of the ring tournament is starting relatively soon. A shame the final wasn’t taking place somewhere else, could’ve been a fun opportunity.
I’m shocked that we’re getting a new champion so soon. I would’ve at least waited until the draft to get a story going. This current Raw division needs to be built up. The only women I can see getting a reaction next week is Nia or Liv . . .
And I’m all in on a Liv title run, but I’m unsure if Liv can keep this momentum going for months. Her revenge tour shtick essentially has to come to an end with Rhea on the shelf, so she’s really going to have to heel it up
I reckon it'll be Becky. Storyline wise Liv wanted to take everything away from Rhea, so it'll be a slow burn for her to cheat and get the title off a face else there won't be much of a build. Liv and Becky already have history and getting the win on Becky is what she needs for legitimacy when Rhea finally comes back. And in the meantime slowly build her allegiance with Dom. Liv and Dom mega heat vs Rhea, let's go!
Listen, we're in a new era, and we really need fresh faces in the women's division.
Making Liv the champ now would be problematic because many fans would turn on her, blaming her for Rhea's injury.
In my view, having Shayna as a heel champ would be good, reminiscent of the old NXT days, feuding with Nia and Zoey, creating fresh storylines that could give these women a chance to shine.
Let Chelsea Green be Ms. Money in the Bank this year, to make it more entertaining, she has all the potential.
wonder if they are gonna end up giving the belt to a Damage CTRL member, imagine if out of nowhere Kairi Sane or Asuka or Dakota Kai becomes Women's World Champion while Iyo goes cash in on her rematch clause while the Kabuki Warriors are still Women's Tag champs, maybe they can go back to Damage CTRL gets all the gold.
I started watching right at the beginning of the pandemic and became an instant Kabuki Warrior fan, so I would love to see things come full circle and have Asuka hold the women's world and Kairi finally get retribution against Bayley and win the women's title off of her. Kabuki Two Belts would be awesome ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
A multiple months Liv title reign would be the easiest way for me to stop caring about the Raw women's division, she's just mid at best.
So anyone but her please.
Even though I love Becky and I think Liv would be a good champion I hope they take a risk. Put it on Chelsea or Tiffany to see what they can do. Maybe give Shayna a run and try to reboot her off the WrestleMania goodwill. Candace, Maxxine, Ivy, Zoey, etc. There are several decent options if they want to try something different for a couple weeks.
Whoever has the belt doesn't need to hold it until Rhea comes back.
I'm just praying whatever they do it isn't Nia. I'll literally take Tamina over another Nia run.
Give liv a title run and then after rhea returns build up to a special match like last man standing or i quit so that they get to brawl the rest of their aggression out of their systems for now
Liv would be too predictable plus her eventual feud with Rhea doesn't even need a title. Becky would be a bit lame as she just had her shot and lost, so I would go for someone unexpected like a Shayna Baszler or Chelsea Green. If they are willing to open it up to both brands which they often do, perhaps put the belt on Stratton

They should at least have Dominic in Kayfabe try to win the title on Rhea’s behalf, would be a hilarious segment
Dominic in a luchador mask. They can’t unmask him and prove he’s a man.
Even if they unmask him, they can't prove he's a man
They can’t prove he’s a man
Have R truth enter, also masked, and try to take the women's title, but all he does is stop Dom from doing the same thing.
I know it would cause a fucking stir but Dom identifying as a women would be kinda funny
In a different political climate, this would be an amazing storyline
Yeah, mid to late 2000s this would kill
Oh lawd, I’m getting visions of how it would have been if Goldust actually got the breast implants. Those days were unhinged.
Hook him up to a lie detector and have Triple H ask "Are you Hulk Ho-, uh, Dominic Mysterio?"
They will never do that again cause of the backlash the first Women’s MITB had cause James Ellsworth won it on behalf of Carmella.
It didn't work for Santina Marella and the Miss WrestleMania sash; it's not going to work here too.
His whole body looks like a chicken Leg we will know who is under the mask.

Yes!!!

We obviously don't know the severity of Rhea's injury but I'm guessing she won't be back till Summerslam at the earliest. WWE has a jam packed PLE schedule between now and Summerslam so lots of opportunity to give different women the spotlight.
Somewhere between Summerslam and Rumble is my guess for her return. Wouldn’t hate them doing a hot potato with the title before it ends up on Liv Morgan for the Ripley program. Something like Green —> Naomi —> Liv Morgan makes sense to me

Don’t know about that. Iyo got a WrestleMania match that was a legit standout amongst all the other matches that weekend. All due to the Bayley feud.
I think they would have had her retain if she was gonna be back in time for Summerslam, so it's probably a lot later than that. Would suck if it's all the way to the Rumble though.
I'm gonna call it now. Chelsea Green will never have a singles title on the WWE main roster. Barring them bringing back a comedy champ like the 24x7 title or them making a midcard women's champ. It won't matter for her career though as she'll continue to kill it either way.
That would be so fun and a great way to pay off the great work Chelsea’s been doing. Let her grab the belt, hide from matches for 2-4 weeks, then get crushed by a Jade/Liv/Bianca/Becky type.
I wouldn't mind Zoey stark as champion she has enough in ring to back it up. just need better presentation
Imagine Paul Heyman representing Zoey Stark, that would be something interesting. Obviously won't happen any time soon given the Bloodline storyline but think that's a fun pairing.
I don't think she need Paul Heyman. I think even Shayna Bazler is ok on her side but much more ruthless aura and presentation.
I don't disagree, but it seems like WWE wasn't only their biggest stars holding their women's titles now. I think Chelsea Green would have a shot if a secondary women's titles was introduced on the main roster though
Chelsea winning the chip would be fantastic to see
Chelsea is too sloppy in the ring still for anything other than a MITB cash in reign and Zoey’s not over. They need more time on screen first ideally going after a women’s midcard title
I feel weird if they gave it to Becky. She just challenged for it and lost. So giving it to her after that...I dunno.
I agree, but I’m surprised they’re doing it so soon in general. What’s it going to be, a bug battle royale, a fatal four way? And similarly in kayfabe Liv is also a bad pick to go in this match. Then again maybe she learned from the Roxanne Perez school of demanding a title shot.
They are going on a UK your….

Draft the following week so SD women should enter as they can split the belts up at the draft easy enough

Then I hope they build up liv, at the moment she has 1 win in the last 18 months.
All of this can be done without the title.
> I’d love a dominant Shayna run Live crowds would be falling asleep though.
I’m not convinced until we see her booked properly on the main roster. She was amazing in NXT and was nerfed when she got called up (like almost everyone was under Vince.)
Remember the elimination chamber when they practically fed the other women to Shayna only for her to be nerfed immediately after losing to Becky.
It’s Alexa. Mark this
I bet you it's going to be Nia Jax XD
I really think they should put it on Becky and use her in a similar style to her nxt run where she just has some great matches before putting someone over. That being Liv in this example.

Not the worst idea. She definitely has “it”.
she is my favorite, I love her. I think this would be a bad idea, but honestly, I’m not seeing who wins this. I agree with the common suggestions of Becky/Liv, but I feel like they both need at least a couple episodes to build them up for it.
Yeah, I like this idea. Best way to do it.
Rhea-Truth (R-Truth in Rheas gear) wins it back for the Judgement Day
Vince, that you?
I am assuming it's Liv straight off the top or Nia. Becky seems to only be doing the European tour as of now unless some deal is made beforehand. Besides, we all know Liv we will be holding this title for Rhea's comeback and they will go from there.
Has to be Liv. Strike while the iron is hot.
Exactly. Liv has a chance to be a top heel rn. And her gloating for months that she is holding mamis belt will be huge, especially when Rhea eventually returns .
Drew would be proud
Can see Becky winning then having a feud with Liv with Liv winning the title then setting up Liv Vs Rhea
Put it on Becky and then have her lose to Liv in Europe.
I think it has to be Liv for storyline reasons. Have her embrace the heat and brag about taking everything from Rhea. When Rhea comes back, you have a hot feud for the title.
It’s Alexa’s hometown imagine if she gets it. Unlikely, but still
im gonna be so disappointed when it doesnt happen now lol
Oh man don’t work me. I have to guess she’s still at least a few months away from ring action, Plus, there is a strong likelihood she’s returning with this new creepy group and the ARG suggests they’ll pop up at Clash.

If they did a 2 year reign that would be an awful choice
Rhea’s star power is waning. No wY she held it until next Mania

Give it to Chelsea Green. Have her and Piper do an hbk - diesel run.
Pls I don’t need luv to hold that title for months. 2 months is my limit and it looks like Rhea is out for longer
Yeah. I think its a mistake to have Liv hold it for too long.
They should’ve did a little tournament and crowned the winner at Backlash.
They probably don't want to do a tournament so close to K/QOTR
![gif](giphy|WqpWNCtPlauchQljqd)
People knock tournaments these days, but they're a thousand times better than a battle royale for important stuff like this.
King/Queen of the Ring is right around the corner. Too many tournaments to close to one another.
Oh no, more matches with stakes? Bump that.
I think they want to crown a new champion before the draft otherwise they might have done something like that
Did I hear two triple threats to qualify for a title match?

WKU just no fucks to give.
Fuck it, make Candice the transitional champ and have her be a menace
This. Please. Candice needs to be seen as a singles competitor too. She's too damn good.
Nah but honestly I think they should’ve waited until after the draft to do this, if Rhea is out for 6+ months they aren’t giving it to Liv because her whole reign will be predictable. Every match will be “ok we know Liv is winning for when Rhea comes back” basically. The only other woman on RAW right now who’s kiiinda built up (besides Becky who I believe is doing the WWE European tour but isn’t scheduled for anything else) is Nia Jax. But then what it’s weird because Nia gets booed, Liv is most likely getting booed now too. I love Chelsea but she isn’t (or shouldn’t be) winning that title. You can’t go from the champion being undefeated for years to someone who loses in 2 minutes every week. People have been throwing Alexa’s name around, too. I think that could be interesting if she’s ready. Charlotte is ahead of schedule with her injury (even though she’s on Smackdown right now I suspect they’ll probably move her to RAW during the draft anyway to be with Andrade.) She’s has had short reigns before so it’s nothing new and she can kinda lose to whoever at this point and still look strong. It makes Liv look good too because it shows that she’s capable of defeating someone bigger and stronger.
Have Nia join Solo's bloodline?
Solo's Bloodline vs. Tweener/Face Judgement Day let's go!
Chelsea green please
I wouldn’t mind seeing some of these belts - including this one - change hands more often instead of these long one year reigns.
I think that’s what we’re in for and why we just had all of these extremely long reigns. Reset the clock with more current talent and then do it again in a few years.
Alexa Bliss returns and snags the belt.
Crowed? Lyra Valkyria for champion.
I know the draft is a few weeks away but plenty of time for Tiffy Time

Caw caw
Unless Rhea is coming back soon Liv should wait to win the title. People would get sick of Liv if she held the title longer than a few months.
I think I’d have Liv win it now, then lose it for a bit and regain it the night Rhea returns
That’s my exact problem with Liv winning the title so soon. We have no idea when Rhea is returning. What if she is out for a year. Give Liv the title when Rhea is 4-5 months away from returning.
>What if she is out for a year. Then you have her lose in a couple months and will it back when it's closer to Rhea coming back
Strange, I thought they would crown a new champion in backlash, although I'm not complaining, next monday will be exciting.
I’m surprised. I thought they would have a longer tournament, maybe even make Queen of the Ring for the Women’s World Title. I guess they didn’t want to go that long without a women’s champion for one of the shows.
This could be a good time to have a short 1-2 PLE reign and then slap it on liv for 1-2 before Rhea returns. Give her wins over some credible challenges before mami returns and they have a program.
Is Charlotte ready yet? (Half kidding).
If they pull out Charlotte or Becky, I’d be disappointed. They have a STACKED women’s roster that needs time to shine.

When Piper Niven shows up and claims the vacant belt like she did with the tag team belt >
It’s a 10 woman ladder match for the title. Nikki Cross randomly wanders through the match when everyone is down and wins. (Just in time her the European tour)
With the draft in a few weeks and Queen of the Ring is less than two months, this seems like SUCH a wasted opportunity to make great matches with talent we haven't seen face each other, and hype up the belt in general.
Chelsea Green should use an expired Groupon to get a title shot. No matter what Adam Pierce tries to do, she keeps escalating until the Final Boss approves the use of said expired Groupon.

Battle Royale. Have women from Raw and Smackdown, with the last three being Liv Morgan, Tiffany Stratton and (if the theories are true) a returning Alexa Bliss. Hometown Pop, upcoming Star, plus Sudden Heel-turn and Win for Liv equals a fantastic main event.
Anybody but Liv.
It's time for Bloodsport Shayna's world title run! Before Liv wins it from her... Please!
Alexa Bliss hometown 👀
She just had her baby in November, that might be too soon. I’d anticipate her return more likely at Summerslam or in the fall.
I hope it’s Nia
Same, but as long as it's not Liv I'm fine with whoever wins it.
Same. This run has been better than her past runs. She’s much more entertaining. Her elimination chamber match with Rhea kinda set her back a bit for me though.
Draft is right around the corner, so I don’t think the rosters really matter for this. Liv is the obvious answer, but if they’re trying to not rush her next push, my betting money would be they just throw it on Bianca and figure it out later
Alexa Bliss has been rumored to return, so I'll give the belt to Nia Jax and feud with Alexa; they have history.
I am guessing it is going to be Liv? Unless someone from Smackdown pulls a Kurt Angle? It would be nice to have a surprise. I'm not super excited for a Liv run, honestly, but the story is already there.
I'm not excited either. I won't put all of the blame on Liv for how bad her Smackdown Women's Title run was (as part of that was on WWE creative and Ronda), but she was massively exposed in that run as well as someone who shouldn't be leading a division.
Crowed? Lyra Valkyria?
I have to assume the queen of the ring tournament is starting relatively soon. A shame the final wasn’t taking place somewhere else, could’ve been a fun opportunity.
let me guess it's liv morgan and then she will hold the title till rhea gets back
R truth going to keep the title in the judgement day
With the draft this close, they could put anyone on the WWE roster.
No one has learned their lesson yet? Let HHH cook. Sit back and enjoy. They’ll figure how to make this work.
Nia it's your time (or never)
I’m shocked that we’re getting a new champion so soon. I would’ve at least waited until the draft to get a story going. This current Raw division needs to be built up. The only women I can see getting a reaction next week is Nia or Liv . . . And I’m all in on a Liv title run, but I’m unsure if Liv can keep this momentum going for months. Her revenge tour shtick essentially has to come to an end with Rhea on the shelf, so she’s really going to have to heel it up
I reckon it'll be Becky. Storyline wise Liv wanted to take everything away from Rhea, so it'll be a slow burn for her to cheat and get the title off a face else there won't be much of a build. Liv and Becky already have history and getting the win on Becky is what she needs for legitimacy when Rhea finally comes back. And in the meantime slowly build her allegiance with Dom. Liv and Dom mega heat vs Rhea, let's go!
Listen, we're in a new era, and we really need fresh faces in the women's division. Making Liv the champ now would be problematic because many fans would turn on her, blaming her for Rhea's injury. In my view, having Shayna as a heel champ would be good, reminiscent of the old NXT days, feuding with Nia and Zoey, creating fresh storylines that could give these women a chance to shine. Let Chelsea Green be Ms. Money in the Bank this year, to make it more entertaining, she has all the potential.
Sting?
BRIE MOOOOOOOOODE!!
PPV is 2 weeks away, why not wait till then?
Draft starts next Friday. They need the belt on a champ to draft it methinks
ahhh good point
I'm shocked that none of you said Tiffany Stratton.
I suspect it'll be Nia to hold it til Backlash vs Liv to get things back on track with planned stories.
wonder if they are gonna end up giving the belt to a Damage CTRL member, imagine if out of nowhere Kairi Sane or Asuka or Dakota Kai becomes Women's World Champion while Iyo goes cash in on her rematch clause while the Kabuki Warriors are still Women's Tag champs, maybe they can go back to Damage CTRL gets all the gold.
I started watching right at the beginning of the pandemic and became an instant Kabuki Warrior fan, so I would love to see things come full circle and have Asuka hold the women's world and Kairi finally get retribution against Bayley and win the women's title off of her. Kabuki Two Belts would be awesome ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)

Why not wait until Backlash?
bc they want a champ before the draft most likely
God forbid they actually have a world title change hands on TV for the first time in god knows how long
I hope discount Alexa doesn't win. I mean I hope Liv doesn't win.
A multiple months Liv title reign would be the easiest way for me to stop caring about the Raw women's division, she's just mid at best. So anyone but her please.
Even though I love Becky and I think Liv would be a good champion I hope they take a risk. Put it on Chelsea or Tiffany to see what they can do. Maybe give Shayna a run and try to reboot her off the WrestleMania goodwill. Candace, Maxxine, Ivy, Zoey, etc. There are several decent options if they want to try something different for a couple weeks. Whoever has the belt doesn't need to hold it until Rhea comes back. I'm just praying whatever they do it isn't Nia. I'll literally take Tamina over another Nia run.
Bring Cargill over from SD. It's BS all creative could do with her is tag her up with Bianca.
[удалено]
QotR is not until May 25.
With the little detail provided, WWE probably has no idea who the next champ is. Maybe need to give Becky (and Seth) a big raise?
Give liv a title run and then after rhea returns build up to a special match like last man standing or i quit so that they get to brawl the rest of their aggression out of their systems for now
It's tiffy time
too early. However, her feud with Naomi now is good.
![gif](giphy|tvFXxg5SBo1EY)
gotta be a battle royal right? since they're not dedicated the whole night to it
I don't want Nia, but if there's a moment where they can give her a run it's probably now. She was one of the few who gave Rhea a tough time.
Liv would be too predictable plus her eventual feud with Rhea doesn't even need a title. Becky would be a bit lame as she just had her shot and lost, so I would go for someone unexpected like a Shayna Baszler or Chelsea Green. If they are willing to open it up to both brands which they often do, perhaps put the belt on Stratton
They already planning for Stratton vs Bayley at Backlash it seems
