Although not a major headlining match, WWE could have done a lot with Mickie James, given her experience. However, James has not been giving the final push yet.

Vega, Peyton Royce, Mandy Rose, and Bianca Belair need time but they will surely blossom into the faces of Raw’s Women’s division. However, booking Zelina Vega against Asuka as a kick-off show was surely not the way to go.

It is clear that the feud will go past Clash of Champions unless Peyton Royce is sent to the doorstep of “The Empress of Tomorrow” next.
