#4 How long will Alexa hold the Raw Women’s Title?
Trending
You can’t exactly fault the in-ring action coming out of the Raw Women’s division. 2016/17 was a real turning point for female wrestling, with superstars like Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Bayley going at it.
One thing fans were unhappy about is the fact that for most of the year the title itself was getting the ‘hot potato’ treatment, with a new winner almost every month. Even when Bayley won the big one against Charlotte before Wrestlemania, it felt a bit too rushed, as if the feud hadn’t been able to mature enough. There was never that period of stability where one woman could hold the belt and see off several competitors.
Now than Alexa Bliss is the Raw women’s champion, one would hope she is at the beginning of a long, consistent reign. The WWE are obviously very keen on Alexa right now, having made her the first woman to hold both women’s titles. Bayley will no doubt get her rematch, possibly at the next PPV, and then it’ll be time for Sasha and Nia Jax to challenge. The worst thing they could do now is to just throw the belt around one of the other women before Alexa has been able to build her character around it.
