Enjoy more than main shows is the world , like Moxley said he enjoyed it more than main shows but that it was still a lot of extra pain to the body. i'm sure most of the frequently used would rather have the day off. House shows allow for more freedom, and for them to do more fun shit. See Undertaker's hot tag spot, Edge cosplaying as Umaga, Orton begging to be a member of DX while feuding with them so they wouldn't beat him up, and the face locker room emptying out to hit him with their finishers. Sure I never disagreed with that. I agreed its more fun Im saying that it still puts more wear and tear on their body they probably would rather not have.

Hope Sasha's OK. As for Smackdown, they can totally build someone up in a few weeks. Just have someone challenge Charlotte to a match, Charlotte doesn't know who they are, throw a pie at them and boom, they're in Charlotte's head! A NEW CHALLENGER HAS ARRIVED... Sounds full-proof...

House shows are really fun environments because it's not so rigid and scripted. You see more of the talents' personalities really come out and it makes for a much looser show for fan and wrestler both.

The last thing WWE needs is become strictly a TV show. The house show gives them a chance to showcase a little personality and actually make people like them.

I mean who else do they have? Naomi is trapped in this awful never ending Sonya feud. Shotzi was turned heel for stupid reasons, and has not one a single match since then. Shayna loses constantly. Toni freaking quit. Etc. Barring an NXT call up, it’s almost have to be Asuka or Alexa, IF they’re ready to go. What about Xia Li?.

The house shows are not worth it at this point. A pandemic, risk of injury going into the Rumble/Mania season, etc.
Doesn’t mean they can NEVER do house shows though.

The Smackdown Women's division is so unbelievably beyond cursed at this point...

Hoping that Sasha recovers soon.
There is, however, a bit of schadenfreude towards WWE's situation right now. Cutting the roster to the point at which a single injury (or positive COVID test) can throw an entire angle's booking into higgledy-piggledy should be a signal to any possible new signee to demand as much as possible for as short a time as possible. The company's increasingly over a barrel and _cannot_ afford anyone else on the DL.

Merging the divisions would only make the problems significantly worse, because no women besides the 4HW and Bianca would even get actual decent TV time. It wouldn't be hard to imagine the other women being relegated entirely to the 24/7 Title chase. Also it would be an excellent way to piss off FOX and NBCU who want their own rosters for their shows.

Yeah, I could see someone pulling a "two belts" thing again, but merging the divisions isn't doable. I also honestly thing losing the tag belts might just make problems worse, since it's at least something the midcard women have a prayer of getting their hands on.

WWE’s policies have made it so that losing one or two big stars throws everything into chaos. It shows their lack of planning and foresight.

I preferred the hoarding talent approach.

Or just use the talent they have better. It’s not that hard.

I'll always be thankful for the house show I saw that had AJ vs Cesaro.
Other than that, I can go without them

They still have so many people in the system, they could lose another 5 and still have someone in the spot within a week, including moving people from Raw, moving someone up from NXT or hiring someone random from outside and chucking them right back on TV.
As much as they rely on one or two big names, the system actually makes the pieces entirely interchangeable and gives anyone the chance to be one of those big names at any time, even if they dont stay there beyond one random feud.

At least merge the titles. Same problem as what I listed above. The only women who would get screentime are the 4HW and Bianca. Because unless you are in the title scene (or a 4HW or Bianca), you get no time at all. And I have a feeling the title scene would end up just revolving around Bianca, Charlotte, Becky, Sasha, and Bayley until the end of time. With the rest of the women being relegated to the 24/7 title chase or just not getting TV time at all.

The obvious choice for who beats Charlotte at WM is ALIYAH even if Sasha is healthy.
