Raw vs SmackDown (18th, 19th December): Which show was better this week?

The Women's Division

Monday Night RAW had a historic women's announcement in it's main event

RAW

Asuka picked up a win against Alicia Fox and nothing else really happened... EXCEPT A WOMEN'S ROYAL RUMBLE ANNOUNCEMENT. Absolution vs Sasha Banks, Mickie James and Bayley main evented the show, until, it devolved into chaos with Absolution getting disqualified and the women's locker room emptying into the ring to take down Paige and her cronies.

Stephanie McMahon then made her way out to the ring and highlighted all the ways that these women had broken boundaries and records this year, before announcing that next year there will be a women's Royal Rumble match.

SmackDown LIVE

Charlotte cut a promo about the women's Royal Rumble match before Naomi walked out and announced her entry into the match. The Riott Squad then interrupted, leading to an impromptu, albeit brief, tag-team match that saw the SmackDown LIVE women's champion and Naomi pick up the win.

Who was better?

The RAW women's division is arguably better at the moment, the Riott Squad just aren't competing when compared to Absolution, Asuka is kicking butt left, right and centre, and nothing SmackDown LIVE could have done that would have competed with the Royal Rumble announcement

Winner: Monday Night RAW
