If you are like me, you were delighted to see the WWE return on RAW of Billie Kay and Peyton Royce, The IIconics. Whether you like them or not, they are entertaining and a different act that adds some depth to the women's division.

As things currently sat before The Man relinquished her title, Lynch had practically defeated every challenger. She had toppled Natalya, Rousey, Lacey Evans, Sasha Banks, Baszler and others throughout her title run. Kay and Royce had been away from the WWE for seven months. On a night where the top star left for a different path, the division at least regained two entertaining stars.

With Lynch gone, it's going to take a team effort to at least try and fill her shoes. No one star will be able to, but several will try. That means that injured stars and those from NXT will eventually try to fill the void left by the former Champ. NXT is stacked with immense female talent. In addition to Flair we have Rhea Ripley, Io Shirai, Candice LeRae, Chelsea Green, Shotzi Blackheart and Mia Yim.

Those are just the women who are prominently featured. Does this mean that WWE brass tries even harder now to coax Rousey back into the ring?
