One of the biggest complaints about WWE’s women’s division between 2016-17 was the lack of depth in both rosters on Raw and SmackDown Live.

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

In late 2017, the main roster had a shake-up with its female talent when Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville formed an alliance with Paige on Raw and the new trio of Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan became a faction on the blue brand.

Known as The Riott Squad, the three women had previously featured as singles competitors in NXT but they had never teamed up in a televised match in what was then called WWE’s ‘developmental’ brand.

Although the villainous trio failed to win their major rivalries against the likes of Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair & Naomi and The Bella Twins & Ronda Rousey, they still appeared regularly on WWE television and established themselves as prominent members of the roster during their 19-month run between November 2017 and April 2019.

WWE separated The Riott Squad in the 2019 Superstar Shake-Up, with Morgan moving to SmackDown Live, but it would not be a surprise to see them reunite one day.
