In a surprising turn of events, WWE has taken the cream of Raw’s female roster and moved it to SmackDown Live. The move has left many in the WWE Universe asking questions.

With Carmella, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Asuka, The IIconics, and Mandy Rose, SmackDown’s women’s roster was already packed and looking pretty good. WWE moved Bayley, Mickie James, Liv Morgan, and Ember Moon from Raw to SmackDown, while NXT’s Kairi Sane has also found her way to the blue brand.

This has left a huge dent on Raw’s female roster, which now has Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey out with injuries, and The Riott Squad broken up with Liv Morgan’s move.

Raw now only seems to have Alexa Bliss and Lacey Evans at the top, with Natalya playing a lead role in holding the roster together with Sasha Banks’ future currently unknown.
