I still say they should give the women their own “brand”, give them the first hour of Raw name it something catchy. Then Raw can run 9-11, then maybe it won’t feel so long. Then if you don’t want watch the womans show you don’t have to, buf if you want to watch all three hours you can. Hell the woman’s hour might get better rating then the rest of Raw. It will feel like two shows like Smackdown / 205 Live. The problem with doing that is that you're othering them. Sequestering the women off away from the rest of the shows is effectively saying they don't actually matter in the broader scope.

Good Now do the same for tag teams Yep. This. Bout time. It’ll improve both divisions tenfold. Been wanting this for ages.

They could do what the brand split used to do with the champion on both shows. Have the mens and womens champion and both sets of tag champions on both shows. It's an easy way to mix up talent too. Becky becomes champion and now she has a whole other roster of potential dream matches to look forwards to.

Honestly I think they should just do away with it entirely. Neither show has the roster depth to justify being separate anymore. They have 94 men and 30 women on the main roster, plus whoever gets called up after WrestleMania. About a third of those are completely under-utilised. Yeah, the roster is plenty deep enough, WWE just suck at time management and making the most of the talent they have at their disposal.

I think there needs to be some kind of restructuring for sure, right now with the women's Rumble (and Ronda) the hierarchy feels like the women's division is ranked above the WWE title in the hierarchy (see the Summerslam poster just having Ronda/Alexa and Reigns/Brock, and the two clear WM matches so far being Universal and the women's match), while the WWE title has felt way less important since like...Jinder probably. I'm not sure how you can necessarily reorganize to fix this though.
But if WWE sucks at a brand split now they REALLY suck at not having one. 2015 was so miserable with absentee Brock as the only champ with de facto main champion Seth Rollins. At least now there's another brand even if it isn't booked particularly well.

Don't do it. It's a waste of time and you're just going to end up splitting them again anyway.
Also, is WrestleVotes a credible source? I've probably asked that before, but Twitter "newz" always makes me skeptical.

Put the women on Raw and the tag division on SDL. Let both shows have an exclusive to them. They can mix with the others on the shows, help strength both divisions.

Grain of salt though, of course.

They just push the same people over and over again so it just LOOKS like both rosters are thin. There’s quite a bit of talent on both brands. WWE has a bad habit of not having a clue what do with them

WWE has a bad habit of not having a clue what do with them Exactly. Each show is the same 15-20 people week in, week out, while the rest have to make do with acting as JTTS on Raw/SD, getting 10-15 minutes on Main Event, and trying to get noticed on the house shows. You end the brand split, they'll just take 20-25 from those 30-40 people currently hogging Raw and SmackDown and make both shows all about them, leading to viewers getting sick of the same old feuds and same old matches twice as fast. We know this will happen because it's exactly what happened the last time they ended the brand split.

They have a hard enough time doing multiple storylines for women on one show, two would not help.

Why do I have the feeling Becky is going pull a double duty ala Bret, Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania? Becky defeats Asuka to win the SD women title, then inserts herself/gets inserted into the WM main event by putting that respective title on the line with the winner becoming the undisputed women champ?

Or someone might see it as giving them their own spotlight they deserve. Ask the cruiserweights how that's going.

Yeah, I don't think this is a good idea. With the brand split, the WWE have to give more women opportunities. They can't just rely on the Four Horsewomen, Ronda, Asuka and Alexa. But as soon as they were able to use all those women on both shows, you know that's what they'll do.
Forget building Mandy or Sonya or Ruby. Forget seeing Kairi Sane or Rhea Ripley eventually becoming big names on the main roster. And currently underused women like Zelina Vega, Liv Morgan and Ember Moon? They might as well start looking for new jobs.
The WWE needs to be expanding its women's rosters, not reducing them. They need to be announcing that a women-only PPV will be an annual event (if not more than once per year), and they should be doing that off the back of the that main event match at Wrestlemania.

WWE has around 30 active women on the main roster, with one women’s title and the tag titles, you get 6 women on tv on both shows at a time. So you’re basically leaving off 5/6th of the women off tv at any given time, just a bad idea.
