SmackDown Live gets a fully-fledged female roster
Trending
SmackDown Live gained its own selection of female Superstars including Alexa Bliss, Naomi, Carmella and Becky Lynch to name just a few. They have been doing fantastic things on the blue brand and it is safe to say that the brand split did not derail the women’s division, if anything, it made it stronger.
The introduction of a brand specific title also made it easier to create new main event calibre Superstars. Alexa Bliss has really grown into a great character since she joined SmackDown Live and after beating Becky Lynch for the title, she has been carrying SmackDown Live’s women’s division with ease.

Naomi has rebranded, and some of the more experienced women such as Natalya and Nikki Bella have been given a new lease of life. There is a completely new generation to feud with and thanks to NXT, they are already characters that people are invested in, so more time can be put into feuds and storylines than character development.
The women of SmackDown Live have also main-evented, so that’s another tick in the list of the to-do list of the women’s revolution. After main-eventing an NXT pay-per-view, the next natural step was main-eventing the weekly episodic broadcasts of Raw and SmackDown Live and they have transitioned into these roles perfectly.
They have dealt with that pressure and made the matches so special that I don’t really bat an eye if they are in the main event anymore, it just seems natural.
They have battled in cages, Hell in a Cell, iron woman matches... you name it, and they’ve probably competed in it. There seems to be no way of holding this revolution back. What really hammers this point home is the fact that the roster is so deep and varied.
There is no chance of them getting left behind again, especially when you think about NXT.
The developmental machine doesn’t stop and right now there is a new generation of females just waiting for their opportunity on the big stage. Ember Moon, Asuka and Peyton Royce are just examples of what is to come next. WWE may need to expand to another brand at this rate.
They are all still flying the flag and pushing the boundaries of what women are capable of, all the while breaking records. Asuka recently hit a 150-match win streak. Unbelievable stuff.
