What if WWE creates a women-only wrestling show?

#1. A continued presence on Raw and SmackDown

One way or another, we shouldn't expect women to disappear from Raw or SmackDown.

As has been alluded to a number of times in this article, WWE would have some tough decisions to make regarding how to use women outside of this prospective show. There would be the potential to follow the same logic as WWE has applied to 205 Live—protecting the talents at hand from over exposure and the risk of looking second rate to the rest of the roster by having them featured more exclusively on their own show.

While that exclusivity model has worked for the Cruiserweights, who were largely overlooked on Raw anyway, for the women’s roster, leaving Raw and SmackDown would feel like a huge step-down.

Moreover, in their current usage, WWE’s women—and particularly their top talents like Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch—are legitimate draws. Particularly with ratings not in the best shape of late, WWE can’t be expected to take them off of their nationally broadcasted television products.
