What movements would you like to see to refresh these two divisons and make them interesting with new feuds etc?

My ideas:

Sasha Banks and Dana Brooke to Smackdown

Becky Lynch and Mickie James to Raw


NXT:

Asuka placed on the Raw roster (assuming she resolves the NXT only contract situation)


Raw needs more bodies, so with two leaving and three new names the division can see some interesting matchups:

Bayley vs Mickie James

Charlotte vs. Asuka

Becky Lynch vs. Nia Jax

also Emma and Alicia Fox can be used in feuds.


On Smackdown you can have a few new matchups:

Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss or Carmella

or Sasha can team with Naomi again

Dana Brooke needs to be separated from Charlotte and given a chance, she can feud with the likes of Carmella, Naomi, Nattie etc.

Also possibly Peyton Royce debuting on Smackdown could be an option.


Ideally all the women should be on one show, but since we are living in this split world, what moves do you think would work?

Well there is probably a draft coming, Sasha to Smackdown is a likelihood considering how she has always dreamed of being on Smackdown because of Eddie Guerrero and they would be fools not to do a Sasha/Alexa feud. I think we'll see some changes whenever the draft happens.

The women's tournament should help freshen up talent + bring in new faces (names like Kimber Lee, Evie, Heidi Lovelace, Candice LeRae) and the acquisition of Hojo and Io Shirai should massively improve the division as they are two of the best in the world. Also Raw might have the better talent at the moment but the number of them (4) and the booking has been awful so this needs to change.

Release Bayley

Make Sasha take a break & come back when she is decent on mic

Send Asuka to RAW & put her in a feud with Charlotte

Push Dana Brooke

BRING EVIL EMMA!

For SD.. Keep the title on Alexa or give Mickie one last short run

Release Naomi

Better booking for Carmella (get rid of that chinless loser)

.. don't care about the rest

Maybe call up the Iconic Duo from NXT when they're ready (which should be soon, esp Billie Kay)

No one needs to switch brands. RAW should get Summer, Emma and Paige back this year and Asuka can come up at the end of Summer.

SDL should be fine even if Nikki takes time off or retires. They are gonna get Tamina back since she is already on the house shows.

On Raw; Introduce more variety, things revolving around the 3HW is boring and repetitive.

On SmackDown; remove Alexa, and Becky from the Title picture completely for six months. Put the Title on Maryse and book her as an A Lister who is too good too wrestle every week. Have her slapping Main Eventers with The Miz, while the rest of the division fights to dethrone her.

Dana Brooke to NXT. It is beyond me why this didn't happen 6 months ago. By now, not even getting back with Emma can salvage this disaster.

Emma and Summer Rae to Smackdown.

Alexa to Raw. That division needs someone that can consistently cut a solid promo.

Carmella to Raw. Maybe being back with Enzo and Cass helps her get over.

Billie and Peyton to Raw by the year's end. Let's be real, neither of them are ever winning the championship in NXT. May as well just get it over with. They'll be hugely out of their depth in a division with Ember, Nikki, Asuka, Kairi Hojo and whoever comes in from the women's tournament.

When does the draft happen? I don't think it happened until June kind of time last year. So it gives them chance to go through some feuds you would expect before they shake things up again.

Obviously on the RAW side they'll end up focusing on Sasha/Bayley once Sasha turns heel which will probably take up the couple of months before the draft, and on the Smackdown side I expect to see Nikki Bella end up getting another shot which may take up the time until the draft. Once it comes to the draft though, this is what I'd like to see happen:

RAW

Bayley
Charlotte
Alexa Bliss
Nia Jax
Paige
Emma (back as actual Emma...)
Nikki Bella

SMACKDOWN

Sasha Banks
Becky Lynch
Asuka
Natalya
Dana Brook
Carmella
Summer Rae (give her an actual role...)

I think the most important thing is to produce the division in the same way Smackdown did initially when the brands split. They had multiple women's feuds meaning that everyone got a chance to shine and nobody was just left hanging with nothing to do. Unfortunately they've gone in the opposite direction now with the whole 'get everyone on the show' booking for the title. RAW is slightly better in terms of the main feud but they still can't get the grasp of more than one feud at a time for a consistent period.

I would send them to one show. I would run it as Shane bought all the women's contract from under Steph's nose. Is going to run the women exclusive to Raw to combat the cruiserweights. They'll also get their own 1 hour show. I'd add a women's tag title as well. That way 6 girls a month are by default doing something important long term on TV. Then you got the rest still being used on the show.

They need to be one division because they aren't solid enough to be two separate divisions. Imagine a division where in a given month you could have Pyscho Mickie against Asuka for the top title. Meanwhile you have Alexa with her bodyguard Nia facing someone like face Emma and Bayley for the tag titles.

Then on the show you do like on 205 live where theres exclusive feuds. Maybe a now face Charlotte is feuding with Carmella because she ghettofied her robe. Now you have somewhere to easily build up women as they come from NXT or can do a surprise one off match with one of the NXT women.
