Smackdown doesn't seem to have that problem although they do a lot better job of using their entire division and are not hamstrung by a streak that's done more to hurt than help the division.

The problem with the RAW division is instead of making is about contendership they make it about the title.

I was thinking this at Elimination Chamber. Something about the way Mauro Ranallo delivered the line of "Bray Wyatt is your newest WWE Champion" or something like that made me think "If only if AJ Styles weren't a first-time champion just a reign ago." All these crowning moments dilutes their power. Carmella and Eva Marie are the only women on SmackDown that have not won a championship.

I think this is quite an important observation. What does being a champion mean if your division means shit? So often you just see the champion and a challenger active in a program, and it has this revolving door effect which makes it easy for viewers to tune out. By having compelling programs away from the belt, you make the ultimate prize mean that much more.

Bayley vs. Sasha, in my opinion, should be a blood feud away from the belt. It should be about who gets to climb over the other and get a shot at their dream. Charlotte is perfect as champion, but you don't need to have her around every week or involved in these swaps all the time. Nia Jax can be squashing jobbers and not even getting a sniff until she actually gets properly over. It looks like we are going to get all four of the women in one match at WrestleMania however.

Yeah the champ in a thin division should only be in an angle every few months, otherwise feed them wins and have one or two programs going centered around contendership and grudges. Then once youve got someone hot give them a shot.

Russo: The Swerve is that it's from the front.

Queef Charlotte.
