5 suggestions for improving the Raw women's division

There's no question that Raw's women's division got hit hard by last week's superstar shakeup. While SmackDown's tag team division was rocked by the loss of The Usos and being unable to claim another top team in return, no division in the company became as depleted as Raw's women's division after last week, with the blue brand gaining Ember Moon, Bayley, and Kairi Sane, while Raw gained only Naomi in return. Meanwhile, Ronda Rousey is gone for the foreseeable future and Nia Jax is out for a year with an injury.

Becky Lynch will appear on the show and will probably move there permanently soon, but as of now, only she and Alexa Bliss are big stars in that division.

With Becky Lynch about to have a feud with Lacey Evans that probably won't set the world on fire, WWE needs to address this problem. Once an afterthought, women's wrestling is now an integral part of the programming, and the combinations currently available in that division probably won't do much to retain viewers.

Here are five things the company can do to make the division more enjoyable and save it from what looks like a coming dark age.

#1 Put the tag team titles on Asuka and Kairi Sane

This needs to happen for the sake of the titles anyway, lest they become permanent jokes right out of the gate in the hands of the IIconics. However, it needs to happen for Raw's sake, too.

The women's tag team champions get the privilege of traveling between brands. Asuka and Kairi Sane would thus be able to travel to Raw and feud with teams there, despite SmackDown being their home brand. This would be a crucial boost to a thin Raw division, as Asuka and Kairi would easily be able to improve the match quality in the division, while Paige would be able to help get feuds over.

Asuka, Kairi, and Paige being able to appear on Raw frequently would paper over many weaknesses.
