#2. Hope isn't true: WWE moves Mia Yim to SmackDown?

Reckoning
Reckoning

Mia Yim's WWE career is in a tricky place. She was placed in the RETRIBUTION faction, and after Mercedes Martinez returned to NXT (reportedly upon her own request), Yim was the only female member of the faction.

Instead of getting a good spot, she found herself losing to Dana Brooke. After WWE disbanded RETRIBUTION, all the members went their separate ways. While T-Bar and Mace are seemingly aligned with MVP, there wasn't any word about Mia Yim's position in WWE - especially after she tested positive for COVID-19.

PWInsider reported that Yim has been quietly moved to SmackDown:

“With the demise of RETRIBUTION as an act, RECKONING (Mia Yim) has been officially shifted to the SmackDown brand.”

While it isn't necessarily a bad thing, we hope this isn't true because the RAW Women's division needs more singles stars. Most of the women are occupied in the Tag Team division, and WWE needs to introduce fresh faces to challenge for the title down the line.
