AWOW: WOMEN WRESTLERS' REALITY PT.1: WWE (ANALYSIS OF WOMEN'S ROSTERS BY PROMOTIONS)

We will started with Female Rosters for several big and small promotions. After the list we'll make an analyses of the best of them for every promotion.

WWE has three brands - RAW, SMACKdown! Live and NXT. Let see their female rosters:



RAW has always been, the brand with a lot of women's wrestling and titles legacy. Now there is the Women's title belt, which leaves SMACKdown! Live women's division fighting for the sport, most of the time. You know who is on RAW, but let see the reminder:

  • ALICIA FOX
  • CHAROTTE (c)
  • DANA BROOKE
  • LANA
  • NIA JAX
  • PAIGE
  • SASHA BANKS 
  • SUMMER RAE

Of course all of this women are great, in their individual way! Our top 3 picks are:

1. Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks
Sasha is the Boss! 
She won another important match against Charlotte, this Sunday and now she is on her way to earn that belt! Sasha is charismatic and talented, most importantly she has that unique indie experience that many girls didn't have. 

Sasha can dominate if she wants and there are no Nia Jax, Dana Brooke or Charlotte who can stop her. Her character is magnificent and so fresh for WWE Universe. The gold is the only thing that misses from the picture of The Boss' Perfection... not for long, I hope!


2. Paige
Paige

You will say "Hey! We didn't see anything from that girl on RAW or SD, these weeks! Why you picked her?"... Because I remember, and you should remember ... When Paige debuted on RAW and won the Divas Championship, I just can't stop myself to watch it over and over again! I can't believe it! It was short match, but very promising and the angle was emotional. In the next week this young woman shows different moves and amazing skills... 

All of this is still in her... buried deep inside her Total Divas image! And I hope that we will see it soon...



3. Nia Jax

Nia Jax
I embrace Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley's choice, but I feel some regret at the same time. 

I am little bit afraid about Nia Jax. Maybe Nia is afraid too. She will enter one build locker room, with new faces, that she never wrestled before on TV. She knows Dana Brooke from the WWE Performance center. I am afraid that at the end the bookers may screw up her character and her heat from NXT. Maybe as a "rookie" they will add her to any of the other girls, as "bodyguard" or something... I am tempted of the thought about ... well, Paige and Nia, working as a dark alliance! That will be great!

We'll wait and we'll see...


 
Before the WWE Divas Championship, SMACKdown! former-Divas, now Superstars, didn't have a lot of opportunities to fight for something important, than men, power and etc. Many people hate it but this inactive championship change the landscape of then SMACKdown! women's roster... Now they look like stuck in the middle... But as it was announced the new Women's belt will be available for the Blue brand's ladies... at some point!

  • ALEXA BLISS
  • BECKY LYNCH
  • CARMELLA
  • EVE MARIE
  • MARYSE
  • NAOMI
  • NATALYA

Our top 3 picks are a little bit obvious:

Natalya
1. Natalya

Veteran. Talented submission holds and suplexes executor. 

Nattie get her long awaited victory this Sunday. We hope that this is not the end of her and Becky's rivalry. Now Natalya can use Alexa Bliss as her protege and to declare a ful-time-SmackDown!Live-war on Becky and Carmella. Naomi will wait for Tamina to returns! 

Natalya is the greatest addition next to Becky Lynch. Her work the last months, over that rivalry is priceless. So she can be The Queen of the Blue Brand, for now......until...

Becky Lynch

2. Becky Lynch

...Until Becky Lynch get her rematch and punished The Queen of Harts, to dethrone her. With no title belt around, Becky must fight for dignity, friendship and everything symbolic you can imagine, most importantly for the sport! Daniel Bryan promised matches-centered show. So it would be nice to see Becky and the fellow women competitors working as hard as ever.



Carmella


Alexa Bliss
3. Alexa Bliss and Carmella

Sorry, Naomi! Sorry, Eva!

These two girls are equally important, talented and got a lot of history. I can't wait to see them in action. They are amazing and a new, fresh air, for WWE women's wrestling scene.

SmackDown! Live really hit the jackpot with these picks!

 There was a period when I thought that all greatest women competitors are in NXT! I still think that there are a lot of talented women "down there"...NXT is a league of its own! I love it as a separate brand, and I enjoy every moment that they spent on their women's roster. Of course they are several additions, that I can recommend, but even without Nia, Alexa and Carmella, the division is standing strong! Actually I was thinking: They pick three women, now they have to promote three new women from the deep-deep- backpack : Ember Moon, Sara Lee and Daria, eventually!

  • ALIYAH
  • ASUKA (c)
  • BAYLEY
  • BILLIE KAY
  • LIV MORGAN
  • MANDY ROSE
  • PEYTON ROYCE 

Our top 3 pick!

1. Asuka
Asuka

The Japanese Lioness. The Empress of Tomorrow. 

She is sensation and a real force in the ring. She is unstoppable. Since her first appearance she was destined to rule NXT's division. 

Asuka got that unique experience from her fights in Japan and USA, that little number of women have. She is charismatic and wild. We can expect a lot of her in the future and it will be a shame if she doesn't win WWE Women's title!


Bayley
2. Bayley

Bayley is on her way out of NXT! Maybe not that month, not next one. She reach her limits in NXT. Her only real challenge is Asuka, maybe Billie Kay or Peyton Royce can work a good matches with her, eventually. Liv and Aliyah are so full with desire for wrestling, but they can't expect to defeat Bayley soon.

Bayley is historical NXT woman. She revive the spark, that Emma and Paige lit. Her matches against Sasha, Charlotte, Becky, Emma, Nia and Asuka are historical. So she deserves to be on the top of NXT or to share it with the best! :)

3. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce
Billie Kay

These girls need to start a team. They still have a lot to show, and until Ember Moon's arrival, they can rule, next to Asuka and Bayley. 
Peyton Royce

Both girls walked the long way from Australia to USA, from SHIMMER to WWE! They have that unique magic, that if you use correctly will take you to the top of the women's wrestling scene. They were appreciated by the greatest women's promotions, now is time WWE NXT to appreciate them!







Next weeks we will take a look at TNA, Lucha Underground and ROH's women's rosters!
