4) WWE's RAW Women's Division will thrive with Ripley as Champ
Making Rhea Ripley champion will not only benefit her; it'll also help the rest of the WWE RAW Women's Division.
Currently, RAW has 16 women listed as part of its division. If you remove superstars who are inactive due to COVID-19 or maternity leave, the current champion, the two tag team champions, Rhea Ripley, and Alexa Bliss (who is working with The Fiend), you have eight to work with. And from that group, only a handful of women have been booked well enough to be credible challengers for the RAW Women's title.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
This division feels like an afterthought, not because of the talent pool of women, but because it is running on fumes. It needs a new life, a shot of adrenaline, and a new champion at the helm.
As of now, Asuka is a juggernaut with no one up to the task of dethroning her, which means her character could turn into a staid champion. However, having a young champion brings the added bonus of WWE fans getting treated to matches they have never seen before.
