WWE
Every Current RAW Women Superstar Ranked
With Evolution on the horizon, WWE is putting together a pay-per-view that should be one for the ages. The first all-women exclusive WWE special will air October 28, 2018 on the WWE Network. As both Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live’s talent prepare for the groundbreaking event, we at TSJ101Sports have put together a list of every SmackDown Live and RAW Superstar from the Women’s Division ranked from worst to best based on their performance in the last year or so.
This specific go around is for RAW. With fifteen female Superstars, where did your favorite end up on the list?
15: Dana Brooke
It’s a shame to have to rank Dana Brooke so high on the list. She has been a key member of Titus Worldwide since late last year. But other than that she hasn’t been doing much. It’s a shame to think that such a promising talent isn’t being utilized. As seen in NXT, Brooke is capable of great things.
14: Mickie James
Since her return to face Asuka at NXT TakeOver: Toronto, Mickie has had a strange second run with WWE. She was Alexa’s best friend on SmackDown Live during her feud with Becky Lynch. She was then drafted to Monday Night RAW. Then she feuded with Alexa Bliss for the RAW Women’s Championship. After that personal feud was wrapped up she teamed up with…. Alexa Bliss….
Aside from strange booking, Mickie hasn’t been the same since her first run. Maybe that’ll change in upcoming months.
13: Natalya
Being booked as Ronda Rousey’s best friend while being a former SmackDown Live Women’s Champion must feel pretty bitter for Nattie. Other than tagging with Ronda in recent months, Natalya hasn’t been doing much since coming to RAW.
12: Alicia Fox
It’s often times forgotten that Alicia Fox is a former WWE Diva’s Champion. Since then she has fallen towards the back of the RAW Women’s roster. She was the team captain for RAW’s womans Survivor Series team last November. Other accomplishments include getting her name turned into a meme thanks to Noam Darr.
11: Ember Moon
There hasn’t been a bigger fall from grace since Lucifer. That was satire, please don’t @ me.
Ember Moon is a former NXT Women’s Champion. She was one of the most popular Superstars on NXT. So why isn’t she in the main event scene on Monday Night RAW? Many speculate it’s because she isn’t ready to grace the main roster yet. If that’s the case, why was she taken out of NXT? There’s of course still time to bring Ember back to the force to be reckoned with she once was in NXT. Maybe she’s next in line for a title match after Evolution.
10: Sarah Logan
It must feel strange being the third wheel in a very popular trio on Monday Night RAW. With Liv and Ruby’s growing popularity, Sarah is often forgot about. She is an incredible performer, as can be seen in almost every Riott Squad match. Hopefully she can step out of her partner’s shadow sometime soon.
9: Nia Jax
It could be considered unfair to say Nia’s title run was ruined by the arrival of Ronda Rousey. But Nia Jax’s RAW Women’s title run was ruined by Ronda Rousey. Realistically, Ronda shouldn’t be able to defeat the Irresistible Force. So to combat that, they gave the title back to Alexa Bliss and then to Rousey. Her huge win at WrestleMania 34 is sadly watered down by the arrival of Ronda Rousey, which is why she isn’t ranked lower on this list.
8: Brie Bella
Brie has faced criticism in recent weeks for sloppy in-ring work. Though sometimes true, not everything has to be blamed on the Bella Twins. Since returning, she’s had a friendship with Ronda Rousey. Until she and her sister, Nikki, turned their backs on her. Who could’ve seen that coming? Brie has also been teaming with her husband, Daniel Bryan, over on SmackDown Live. She even put on a decent mixed tag match at Hell in a Cell.
7: Nikki Bella
Her shocking attack on Ronda Rousey has named Nikki Bella the number one contender. Who could’ve seen such a dastardly act coming? Her return has been met with great criticism. But, sometimes, Nikki can surprise us with the high quality matches she can pull out of thin air from time to time.
6: Bayley
Bayley’s had an interesting 2018. She’s been feuding on and off again with Sasha Banks since late last year. It all seemed like it was going to come to an epic conclusion at SummerSlam. But it didn’t. They just started teaming together. Aside from questionable story lines, Bayley’s now a crowd favorite in this season’s Mixed Match Challenge along side Finn Balor.
5: Sasha Banks
With what was said with Bayley can be also be said with Sasha. It’s been an odd year full of strange ups and downs. But she’s captured the audience’s attention with her “will she/won’t she” leave the WWE posts on Twitter and Instagram. Since teaming with Bayley, Sasha has had some success. Sadly, an unspecified injury will keep her out for quite some time.
4: Liv Morgan
Blue tongue, pink hair, great social media presence, and getting kicked in the face by Brie Bella are just some of the things people love about Liv Morgan. As 1/3 of the Riott Squad, Morgan is slowly making her presence known on the Monday Night RAW Women Superstar roster.
3: Ruby Riott
The ring leader of the Riott Squad is quickly building a cult following for herself and her teammates. It is very clear that Ruby isn’t given the credit she deserves for her in-ring work. The Riott Squad matches against the Bella Twins are actually enjoyable from a wrestling aspect. And it’s because of the workhorses in the Riott Squad, mainly Ruby Riott.
2: Ronda Rousey
WWE’s biggest signing since AJ Styles, Ronda debuted at WrestleMania 34, won the RAW Women’s Championship, and headlined SummerSlam, all in the same year. Her wrestling skill is progressing as time goes on, but it is clear Ronda will be around for a long time coming.
1: Alexa Bliss
This doesn’t need much explanation. Alexa won Money in the Bank, the RAW Women’s Championship, headlined WrestleMania 34, and won the first women’s Elimination Chamber. She also has a tag team match against Trish Stratus and Lita at Evolution. She’s arguably the best female heel in WWE. She’s also likely the most loved Superstar by the WWE Universe. Currently on Monday Night RAW, Alexa Bliss is the best of the RAW Women Superstars.
