I hope they're not doing the title switch thing again. That is still one of the dumbest things ever.
The whole benefit of wrestling being scripted is that you shouldn't get awkward situations like this. You could simply book Bianca to stay on Raw or if she's going to Smackdown then have her drop the title to a Raw person at Backlash before the draft rosters come into effect but you can't even do that now because IYO is also heading to Smackdown. It's just all needlessly complicated.
I'd probably find a way to get the title on Trish then she can drop it to Becky at MITB or Summerslam. Like Bianca appears on Raw for the final time after Backlash saying farewell to the brand and addressing the title situation when Trish comes out and baits her into a match and wins in some heelish fashion.

Draft title swaps stand as the most creatively bankrupt thing WWE has ever done and the fact they've done it multiple times is even more staggering. So sure, why not go for a third time doing this?

I was thinking that with Alba/Isla called up, they'll probably send Piper to SD so the three can set up an evil Scottish faction and we can get yet more 'can Bianca KOD Piper?? (.....yes)."

I think they are probably going to just push Alba/Isla as regular tag team and probably have them go after Liv/Raquel. Although Bianca does need fresh opponents badly (referring to Alba/Isla and not Piper obviously) so you might be onto something. However how would that stable be structured as far as who would be leader singles title contender and who would be the tag team? Piper being the singles would be a hard pass since Bianca's destroyed her so many times. Isla as the leader and Alba/Piper as the tag team would probably make the most sense although Isla/Alba have quickly gelled into a really good team so you would hate to throw that away.

Why WWE insist on drafting people holding the belts every year is beyond me? It always causes issues.

I really am dreading a belt swap, that shit is pathetic and it would be the second time they did it with women's champs who have held belts too long. Just really not feeling this at all. The fact that no one even likes this idea makes it even more jarring. Just have her relinquish the title or something, or even drop it someone who might be a thread. Even stupider, Rhea is the current Smackdown Women's Champion. So she got moved to Smackdown, but if there is to be a title swap, then back to Raw for Rhea, which made her Smackdown Women's title win even more pointless.

I try to hear everyone out, but there's no convincing me that those stupid f***ing belt swaps are a good idea. I'm angry just thinking about them!!!!

Literally the only reason they even need to do them is because they label them as Raw and Smackdown titles with red and blue belts.
At least when they swapped the WWE and WHC/Universal every few years it didn't affect them much.

But EVERYONE has to be eligible for the Draft! If Bianca couldn't be drafted the whole thing would fall apart!

Next Monday is 400 days, so she will pass Becky for longest reign ever.
So I guess if they were to belt swap on May 8th, at least she gets the record by then.

I don't want anyone to ever say she's mishandled or mistreated again, she's been given the world, at the expense of a lot of other women. And I fully expect that to continue when she's on Smackdown, because god forbid they build up other women to be top stars.

If the reports are true they want Roman to break Hogan's record.
This reign could go on forever too.

398 days. Ties Becky Lynch for longest Raw Women's reign. Let's see if she retains it now, as she is on Smackdown but with a Raw title.

It would show WWE’s true arrogance if they just do another freaking belt swap after everyone crapped on the one last time. Including the women involved.

Just change the names of the titles now PLEASE. You don't need to swap them. It'd be even stupider to do it now after Bianca breaks the record.
