Raw Star Zoey Stark Suggests A New Women’s Championship To Help Deal With The WWE’s Shallow Women’s Roster
In a recent interview on Ten Count with Steve Fall, Raw star Zoey Stark was asked about what WWE can do to help deal with the problem of their shallow women’s roster. Stark indicated that it won’t be easy to fix the women’s tag team division given how few teams there are, but a new singles championship would at least be one way to get more TV time for the women’s roster overall. She suggested, “I would love nothing more to add in like [an Intercontinental] women’s championship. I think that would be fun to get that involved with it, and then more opportunities for the women to be put on TV. And I think it would do a lot of good for us. It would be nice to see more women tags.”
This comes after former WWE star Ronda Rousey criticized WWE’s shallow women’s roster and challenged the company to invest more in the women’s division. Rousey surmised that “the biggest challenge that we have is to get this company to actually care and invest into this tag division.”
However, given that WWE can’t even figure out how to feature their Raw and SmackDown women’s champions on their respective shows, it seems unlikely that they will be able to address any other problems currently going on within the women’s division.
The question remains whether introducing a new belt is a good idea when the division is this shallow. Would it force WWE’s hand in allocating more TV time for the women’s division, or are there other solutions that need to be explored? Only time will tell if WWE will take any steps to improve their women’s division.
