One really broad loser here is the womens' divisions, I think. Asuka is the only move that feels all that big because she's been presented as a major player wherever she goes. Nattie hasn't and the two nigh-identical heel groups swapping places doesn't really bring about any change if Riott Squad is immediately taking Absolution's place in the Bayley/Sasha storyline. The main event, midcard title, and tag scenes on both shows received radical changes and produced tons of new match-ups, while the womens' scenes changed almost nothing of substance. That feeling might down to the smaller overall divisions, maybe. It's a very fine line between not changing enough people around and having all those stale match combinations still there, and changing too much and just moving those same combinations to the other show.

On that, Bayley/Sasha are definitely losers here if WWE continues to keep on teasing or avoid their feud altogether.

It's not a line so fine that moving over one major player and having that major player be one whose biggest match-up with the division's biggest star just took place two weeks earlier. The status quo is actually so upheld that an ongoing feud remains totally unchanged with the Absolution/Riott Squad switch.

This was immediately felt when Charlotte, Carmella and Billie Kay brought a decent show to a grinding halt. I think Paige is going to introduce women's tag titles, though.
