That division is definitely going to be hurting because once she and the dark match crew get called up who is left to contend for the Women's title. That leaves only Raquel(who probably gets called up after she drops the title), Kay Lee Ray, Franky Monet(another possible callup), Ember Moon, Sarray and Zoey Stark. And the tag division is not much better since the KC Express could be getting broken up, with Catanzaro getting called up, leaving the only tag teams being Toxic Attraction and Indi & Persia(who have not even teamed yet). I'll be fair, I don't think everyone who has had dark matches over the past couple of months is getting called up. It's already been hinted at that the women's division in particular is going to get pretty cleaned out though. As for the women's scene in general being hurt, yes it will be. And the new direction the brand is going in concerns me. The women's stuff was the one thing that didn't need fixed, but they are hotshotting groups like Toxic Attraction right to the top, despite their glaring limitations. Would not be shocked if they go with Gigi/Jacy as Women's Tag Champs, and then put the NXT Women's Championship on Mandy. It doesn't help that the storytelling surrounding Toxic Attraction is really bad with it being generic mean girls level crap. I also think Raquel is retaining, just because they are still building up her having a match with Kay Lee Ray sooner rather than later, and Frankie has cooled off significantly as of late. I also don't see them treating her seriously as long as she's associated with the Robert Stone Brand. He'll mess up the match tonight, and Raquel will retain. It's insane though. Usually we would have a case where the lack of depth decimates the singles title as it gets ignored in favor of the tag titles like what happened during Asuka's most recent Raw women's title reign or Raquel's NXT women's title reign. But, now we may be fast approaching a situation where both the singles and the tag team division is going to be decimated at the same time. It's partly why I'm very iffy about calling up Io Shirai. While it might be good for Io it's absolutely horrible for NXT. At the very least wait until they've built up some of these new women to potentially fill the void because all of the women that have been built up and established were done so under the previous regime.

At the very least wait until they've built up some of these new women to potentially fill the void because all of the women that have been built up and established were done so under the previous regime. I think the problem is that its pretty clear there is absolutely NOTHING left for Io in NXT either. If they lose the tag titles tonight like most people expect, the only logical decisions are either to move her up to the main roster immediately in the draft, or put the NXT Women's Championship back on her. And we all know the second one isn't happening. Otherwise she'll end up floating around aimlessly, and that's not good. Especially with the current direction the brand going in, where ring work is rapidly falling in terms of perception. It doesn't help that Io has had actual very little ring time over the past year or so, and would likely wrestle more on the main roster. You could also make the argument that Io's spent nearly 3 years in NXT at this point, and is long overdue to move up to showcase herself on a bigger stage. If the division crashes and burns without her, that's entirely on WWE for messing it up in the first place. The Zoey/Io team was a blatant attempt to try and get Zoey over, even though its backfiring massively.

The thing that is gonna most hurt about NXT losing Io is her ability to work with absoloutley any woman and get the best out of them no matter their skill level...she is still IMO the one woman to get the absoloute best out of Shotzi and that was their first time ever wrestling each other one on one.
To have a woman on your roster you know you can throw out with anyone and not worrie about a bad performance is IMO extremely rare.

While not at the same level as Io, Dakota Kai was another one who was a strong, reliable workhorse for the brand, whom they can quickly slot in on their weekly show and get a good match every time. It's kinda amazing how in a matter of months between callups, the upcoming Draft and pregnancies, "The Greatest Women's Division in the entire world" has been completely decimated.

If nothing else, NXT has been entertaining since the 2.0 soft reboot. It's become fun to riff on.

I think the division started taking a pretty noticeable downturn once Io lost the title. Raquel is kind of a bad champion, and NXT put all of their eggs into her basket after she won the title, not realizing that Raquel is as dull as dishwater. Until Io lost the title, the division felt like it was one of the best in the world, but once she lost it, the quality fell significantly. Because Raquel can't carry people to good matches. She needs to be carried.

Tonight, I am fantasy booking...
WCW in 2003!!!
We're already off to a better start than 2002, thanks to me cutting back on the PPVs and making a few booking choices I probably should have made a lot sooner...
