3 ways WWE made the women's revolution a smoldering pile of rubble in 2018 (and what to do about it)

For Raw, things will look up following Extreme Rules no matter what, but screwy booking can still ruin it.

Will John Cena beat Ric Flair's record? A former WCW Champion thinks so HERE

There's no other choice for the women's division on the red brand - Ronda Rousey needs to destroy Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam and become Raw Women's Champion. From there, she can have a series of rivalries with talented competitors on Raw and help to elevate them in attention, giving us great matches in the process.

Rousey has proven herself and it's time to strike when the iron is hot. Giving her heated rivalries with top competitors will build her and her title up for what's speculated to be WrestleMania's first women's main event.

The other side of that equation needs to be balanced as well. Asuka needs to enact swift and brutal revenge on Carmella and James Ellsworth at Extreme Rules.

From there, she and Charlotte can have a series of matches that will elevate them and the SmackDown Women's Championship, taking it out of the mud Carmella's dragged it into.

Asuka can go on to have a match with Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series that could easily be the first women's match to main event a big 4 pay per view, while Charlotte can warm up for a titanic WrestleMania clash.

While NXT's women's division has been in a much smaller valley, that's about to change with Shayna Baszler vs. Kairi Sane set for TakeOver: Brooklyn IV, and the new Mae Young Classic about to get underway, bringing with it world class arrivals like Io Shirai and Toni Storm.

Sane and Shirai's probable victories will set the course for an epic feud that should make the NXT women's division must-see again.

Will the main roster follow suit? It can easily do so by taking the easy steps outlined above, but the main roster isn't always known for making the obvious best choices - which is how we got in this mess in the first place. We'll just have to hope for something good.
