WWE Rumors: More Talk About Stephanie McMahon’s Big Announcement On RAW

With yesterday’s news that RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon will be returning to television this coming Monday night to make a “historic announcement” (check that out here), the speculation surrounding what that announcement could be has certainly ramped up.

While some fans have jumped to the conclusion it could have something to do with General Manager Kurt Angle, many believe it will be to announce an upcoming all-female pay-per-view (read that here), which was previously speculated to take place in October after the TLC pay-per-view was moved to December and Clash Of Champions was dropped entirely (for more on that go here).

According to the WrestleVotes Twitter account, which has become a solid source for news, the announcement will in fact be regarding an all-women’s pay-per-view which will feature the Finals of this year’s Mae Young Classic. Additionally, it’s being said that rumors of Women’s Tag Team Titles are true, but it wasn’t specified if that would be included in the event. It was also noted that the event could take place in September or October at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York.

EA’s Take: I said yesterday that the all-women’s show is most likely what Stephanie will be revealing and I stand by that. I truly hate the idea of Women’s Tag Titles though and it’s not because of the talent. Look at how the RAW and SmackDown Live Tag Team Divisions have been booked since the Superstar Shake-Up or even over the last 15 or so years. Why do we trust WWE will do a Women’s Tag Division correctly? I think a lot of people love the idea, but aren’t thinking big picture here. How will that even work? Does RAW get a set and SmackDown Live get a set? I don’t see that being a good option since you don’t have the depth yet and when it comes to the blue brand, which is only two hours, I don’t know where you fit time in for them. Hell, a lot of times there’s no space for the men’s tag champs (outside of the last few weeks because Daniel Bryan was in the picture). The only way I see it working is if you have one set and the champions work both RAW and SmackDown Live, but at the same time does that ruin brand integrity? I still care about that even if WWE doesn’t. There’s a lot more to consider other than just, “The women should have their own tag titles, blah blah blah”. If anybody should be getting tag titles, it should be 205 Live. At least they have their own weekly show.
