#5 Nia Jax was right to say what she said
Trending
This week, Nia Jax caused a bit of controversy by tweeting her reaction to Smackdown’s announcement that it will hold the first ever women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Jax’s point was that the blue brand consistently manages to utilise their entire female division every week, while on RAW there are some superstars that don’t even make an appearance. Nia was 100% correct about this.
RAW even has an extra hour on Smackdown, so it makes no sense why the latter is able to do more than its Monday night rival.
When you look at actual star power, RAW should have the advantage. Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss and Bayley are all highly talented performers, but only one of those three are actually being used correctly. Jax herself offers something different to the typical female WWE look but is also not being utilised to her full potential.
Charlotte’s departure has clearly hurt RAW, as the WWE are always going to be determined to give most of their attention to the daughter of Ric Flair, whichever show she is on.
The MITB match was a genuinely positive step for Smackdown to take. RAW may have the advantage in other areas at the moment, but when it comes to the women, Smackdown is still the brand to watch.
