This is how thin the SD women's roster is right now... and yet they keep having these redebuts on Raw

I mean that’s not a bad group of women lol

Yeah but still it's literally just six women. Plus Ronda, Emma, and Charlotte when she comes back makes nine. That's nothing. IIRC Impact has more and even that roster comes off kind of thin

I legit forgot about Natalya, which should tell you about Natalya

But yeah Impact is Mickie, Masha, Deonna, Gisele, Taya, Rosemary, Jordynne, Jessicka, Tasha, Savannah, Wilde, Kelly, Lish, and Su Yung when she comes back. That's 14 and even that feels thin at times (but that's probably saying a lot for how featured Impact's women are)

10 is not many for SD

Escobar gotta be winning then right? Even though I wouldn’t be opposed to Nakamura vs GUNTHER.

[Cwalker]

Gotta be the first vs WALTER

 

[The Gipper]

I want to see WALTER fight every single person in this bracket. Even WALTER vs 6 could be fun

 

[Sabretooth]

Braun is definitely winning.
