Seth Rollins recently talked to Alex McCarthy of TalkSPORT where he discussed the current situation of WWE’s women's division. Though The Monday Night Messiah claimed that the division is lagging since Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair went on a break, he admitted that superstars like Asuka, Bayley and Sasha Banks are doing all they can to fill in at the moment. Seth Rollins said he’s loving the ongoing Asuka vs Sasha Banks feud before praising the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions for filling the ‘void as best as they possibly can’.
“The women have been lagging behind Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair for some time and now it’s time for them to step up and do their thing. Asuka has stepped up too, as well, but I do think Bayley and Sasha have been great.”
The duo known as The Golden Role Models currently holds all the championship available in the WWE Women's division on WWE RAW and WWE SmackDown. In addition to being WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, they are also the world champions. Sasha Banks is the current RAW Women's Champion while Bayley is the reigning SmackDown Women's Champion.
