This is from the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
- Current plans for Bianca Belair is for her to defend the title against Becky in a bunch of singles matches at the upcoming stadium shows (MITB, Summerslam, UK show). Asuka is only in the title picture so they can stall another Becky/Bianca singles match until the next stadium show.
- Ronda Rousey is currently set to have a new contender set soon, but only as a filler challenger. They plan on running Ronda vs Charlotte over the summer at various stadium shows as well.
So basically both title pictures are going to remain incredibly stale and the rest of the women don't matter.

At least they are staying all in on Bianca and not rushing the title back onto Becky or another horsewoman.

I think the problem here is that the Becky/Bianca feud is going to be completely stale after their next singles match, and screws over women like Asuka, Rhea, etc. And Charlotte/Ronda should have ended at Backlash, but the fact that they are going to run it back over the Summer is just insane. It also shows that WWE is absolutely unwilling to keep Charlotte out of the title picture if she's healthy. I also wouldn't be shocked if Becky regains the title at the UK show, and Ronda loses the title back to Charlotte, and then they switch Bianca and Ronda instead.

They don't have the depth (at least in how Vince sees the talent) to sustain two world titles at this point. That plan is ridiculous.

"Asuka is important enough to be a filler opponent on return but not important enough that we'll put her on a stadium show" really says it all huh

They don't have enough depth is pretty much entirely self inflicted on their part. They could easily build up other women to be seen as contenders, but instead opt to go back to Becky and Charlotte. And in the case of Charlotte, it just shows that WWE literally cannot think of a storyline for her that doesn't involve the title picture these days. There's a reason why she has go away heat and its because she's dominated the title scene since being called up pretty much, at the expense of pretty much every other woman. And honestly? Becky shouldn't be going over Asuka either, but that seems to be the plan. I think more people would be interested/invested in Asuka/Bianca instead of Becky/Bianca at this point.

I was looking forward to Rhea feuding with Bianca. Oh well.

So if this holds true it just completely makes Rhea's heel turn completely useless since everyone had it set that the heel turn was leading her to be the one to beat Bianca specifically at summerslam.
Gonna guess she gets the MITB cashes in for the UK show but fails to win the title.
Seriously these plans complete f*** over so many talented women for the long term.

Overall generally focusing on like eight total people having the same matches at the big stadium shows will surely be a strategy that can last them longterm!!

Why would Rhea cash in for the UK show? She's Australian, not Irish, Scottish, or British. It's very obvious they plan on running Bianca vs Becky (the home country hero) there. But the point still stands that women like Asuka and Rhea are both getting screwed over, and then you have women like Raquel, Shotzi, Xia, etc all being screwed over on Smackdown as well. Because god forbid WWE have any sort of variety in their title pictures.

Because of Rheas connections through NXT UK....yes I know the joke is that WWE does not know it exsists but we both know they will suddenly just remember and talk about her history there. And then right after never bring it up ever again lol.

I saw the blurb about Charlotte being away for a few months before returning for revenge in the summer (no mention of “various stadium shows” plural though). But where was the blurb about Becky and Bianca fighting multiple singles matches at all of the stadium shows? I didn’t see that.

And Becky/Bianca is being advertised locally for MITB, and they are on all of the advertisements for Summerslam and the UK show as well. And MITB, Summerslam, and Clash at the Castle are all back to back to back shows. And all of them are stadium shows.

So Dave didn’t report that they’re running Becky vs. Bianca singles matches at all 3 stadium shows. I’d have to imagine they will run it at least once, but can’t imagine them running it at all 3.

I wonder who the filler challenger is? Aliyah? Shayna? I like them but that's pretty sad.
