The women of NXT have long been the bright spot of NXT and the top of the promotion. Starting with the Four Horsewomen, they've carried the brand and with their loss to the main roster, there had to be a new grouping of women to step forward. There were four more but now they're gone. What's next? Who's next?

With the purchase of AAA, the rumors have started swirling about WWE's attempt at global expansion. It's inevitable. I'm saying it here. That's what we're going to be talking about today.

It's that time of the year again. Money in the Bank is here. That magical briefcase that can change ones career is hanging above the ring and who is going to grab it? The WWE is bringing us another small card but who cares at this point? Let's get into it.

This question has been posed time and again - does the man make the title or does the title make the man? It's s very valid one. Once again we're going to examine it, but this time with a focus on the WWE because they're the ones whose booking made this arise. From Jey Uso to Lyra Valkyria, it's all on the table.
