4 improvements Triple H could make to the WWE women's division after Summerslam 2024
WWE Summerslam 2024 is barely a week away, and the women's division is well-represented at The Biggest Party Of The Summer. Not only was Bayley vs. Nia Jax for the WWE Women's Title the first match confirmed for the card, Liv Morgan will face Rhea Ripley in arguably the most compelling title match on the card.
Triple H and his creative team have done a good job of making new stars in the division, but there is yet more work to do. If the women's roster is to reach its full potential, there are a number of improvements The Game needs to make to the current state of affairs. Given that Summerslam is set to feature no women's non-title or tag team matches, some of these changes must come right after the event.
Here are four ways Triple H and his booking team can improve the women's division after the Cleveland premium live event.
#4: Triple H must feature more non-title women's singles feuds on big WWE PLEs
One of the biggest complaints regarding women's booking in the Vince McMahon era of WWE was the lack of non-title singles feuds. One-on-one rivalries with no titles on the line like Charlotte Flair vs. Trish Stratus from Summerslam 2019 were quite rare, much to the dismay of fans. As a side effect of this, the title picture was dominated by a small core of top female stars, starving the rest of an opportunity to shine on the big stage.
Under Triple H, this has seemingly not improved much, with few non-title singles women's feuds of note booked in The Game's two-year tenure so far. After Summerslam 2024, this must change, lest stars like IYO SKY and Bianca Belair keep missing big PLEs because they are not in contention for a top singles title. With the division arguably boasting a deeper talent pool than ever before, this seems simply unacceptable.
#3: Triple H and Co. must give more importance to the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles
Since their introduction in February 2019, the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships have had a rocky journey. From champion walkouts to an unfortunate string of injury setbacks, the titles have never really gathered enough momentum to properly connect with the audience.
Their booking hasn't helped, either, with both Vince McMahon and Triple H often consigning them to PLE pre-shows and putting them on makeshift teams consisting of singles stars. The Unholy Union are the current holders, with zero televised title defenses in over 40 days since winning the gold. Their next defense will be on the SmackDown before Summerslam, not the PLE itself.
Given the abundance of authentic tag teams performing currently in the women's division, The Game must do better post-Summerslam to ensure the tag team scene reaches its full potential.
#2: Triple H and Co. might benefit from introducing women's mid-card titles to WWE
For a while now, there has been much talk on the rumor mill about WWE introducing a women's mid-card title or two. This sentiment has proven very popular with fans and even The Undertaker himself, generating excitement about what the likes of Chelsea Green and Mia Yim could do with it.
Despite the obvious popularity of the idea and the proof of concept from AEW's TBS Championship, Triple H is yet to pull the trigger on it. Could it not be appealing to him and his creative team? Could he be waiting for the right moment? Given the great output currently being produced by the likes of Yim, Green, and Naomi outside the world title picture, post-Summerslam 2024 could be the perfect time.
#1: Triple H could announce a second WWE Evolution PLE after Summerslam 2024
Evolution was the first and currently only WWE PLE to solely consist of women's matches. The 2018 event was a massive success, attracting almost 11,000 fans and much critical acclaim from the wider audience. It was a big step in the women's division evolution, and fans felt it would become an annual event, given its huge success and significance.
Six years later, there has only been talk of a second Evolution show but it has yet to come to fruition, under Vince McMahon or Triple H. With the women's division full of megastars like Bianca Belair, Bayley, and Rhea Ripley and with the likes of Asuka, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch possibly returning in the coming months, there is more than enough talent to pull off the event.
Announcing a second Evolution event, say somewhere in the two-month gap between Survivor Series 2024 and Royal Rumble 2025 would be a huge boost to the female locker room and its rabid fandom post-Summerslam.
