The stellar dynamic Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley have had as rivals has been fun for fans to follow throughout 2024. Despite the disappointing finish to their Bad Blood bout, Raquel Rodriguez’s return has extended the feud’s shelf life for at least another month or so.
Once that finally runs its course, though, WWE won’t have many interesting directions to go in with the Women’s World Championship because minimal effort has been put into getting other stars over in the meantime.
The emphasis on faction wars involving Pure Fusion Collective, Damage CTRL and any combination of Katana Chance, Kayden Caryer, Lyra Valkyria, Natalya and Zelina Vega has resulted in meaningless matches and basic stories that haven’t elevated anyone.
An eventual midcard championship for the women will be beneficial, but until then, WWE must find a way to create compelling rivalries with the remainder of the division.
For starters, Valkyria receiving a renewed singles push would allow her to regain the momentum she had in the spring and prepare her for a program with Morgan.
Iyo Sky will be useful as a singles star again when the time comes, and Pure Fusion Collective needs to be booked more consistently to be taken seriously.
The talent is there on the red brand, but WWE has so far failed to get the audience invested in most of them.
