WWE is adding a US title for the women's division
On one hand I love that because it's more for people to do (Dakota needs something, man). On the other i don't trust them to fill time wisely anymore.
I tend to side with Cam Hawkins' take on this: you don't need more titles, you need better booking/stories.

You can do both, and the women especially need more things to do to create storyline. The roster is deep enough that it makes sense, but there's less TV time now so it won't work like it could.

Speaking of the female talent, PWI is saying WWE and Becky are nearing a new agreement and Becky will be returning in time for the Netflix debut.

It would appear along with Cody, Punk and Roman that Becky was targeted by Netflix as an important promotional piece.

While I'm bummed that the less than zero chance of her going to AEW sounds totally dead now, I'm happy to hear Netflix was wanting a women's division star.

If all the issues with the broadcast of this Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight are any indication, Netflix better get its weight up before it gets Raw in January.

Two big factors are that Raw won’t have even have a quarter of the audience that fight had and also, WWE has been airing on streaming platforms for a decade now so they are better equipped and prepared for it.

The real issue for Netflix is if they can handle the NFL Christmas Games as well.

WWE Network is moving to Netflix in January so thank goodness no one has to keep their Peacock subscriptions.

If that's true, I do hope that Hogan's NHB movie trailer in WM5, Piper/Brown WM6 is reinstated and they hopefully bring back all the hidden gems, like the NWA/JCP GAB summer tour events are brought back. If they do this with Netflix, then AND ONLY THEN will I finally get back into watching wrestling, again.

The Roddy Piper blackface thing at WM6 was considered "so offensive" that Peacock demanded that the whole match be edited out of WM6 and Vince had to cave into their demands.

Last I heard in the US only Raw (and it's archives) was moving to Netflix. Peacock has a deal for everything else until Spring of 2026 I think.

I wish we got some deleted Wrestling With Shadows scenes now.
