WWE's women's division struggles ahead of SummerSlam
Summary

WWE's women's division appears weaker ahead of SummerSlam. Liv Morgan, the Women's World Champion, has not defended her title since winning it at WrestleMania, extending her record without a defense. She faces Iyo Sky at SummerSlam, a rematch from their previous encounter at the Queen of the Ring. The division is further complicated by Rhea Ripley's injury, leading to an interim title being introduced. Several notable women, including Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer, have been absent from television for significant periods. The situation highlights ongoing issues regarding the promotion's push for new female talent.
