Asuka needs the Raw Women’s Championship

December 1, 2019 by Sherron Watson

A few years ago the catchphrase “No one is ready for Asuka” sent a powerful message throughout the women’s revolution as “The Empress of Tomorrow” left her path of destruction through NXT and WWE’s main roster. She went undefeated for 914 days before suffering her first loss at the hands of Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania … Read more

November 30, 2019November 29, 2019 by John Duffy

This week Becky Lynch celebrated becoming the longest-reigning WWE Raw Women’s Champion, so to commemorate I have devised a list of her top matches from early career to main-eventer.

The Women of NXT Ruled This Weekend

February 14, 2020November 25, 2019 by Mykel Cesare

Team RAW is confirmed for Survivor Series

November 18, 2019 by Nick

After a very lackluster RAW this week we finally have a complete team for the red brand for the traditional Survivor Series team. At the beginning of RAW, we found out that The IIconics weren’t on the team and that Charlotte Flair was indeed the captain.

Throughout the show, we weren’t told much about the women’s RAW Team until the advertised Asuka vs. Natalya match went underway. By the end of the match, we found out that Natalya, Asuka, and Kairi Sane will join the team.

This left one spot remaining for the team. It has now been confirmed on WWE.com that Sarah Logan will be the fifth and final member. Logan hasn’t been seen on RAW since a match against Bayley in July.

We now have a full RAW and SmackDown team and are still waiting for the NXT team to be announced which more than likely will happen this Wednesday night.

As a reminder, SmackDown’s team consists of Sasha Banks as team captain, Lacey Evans, Carmella, Dana Brooke, and Nikki Cross.

What are your thoughts on the RAW Team? Leave your comments in the section below.

Check back in with Diva Dirt for all news leading up to including live coverage of Survivor Series this Sunday, Nov. 24 at 7 p.m. ET.
