For as hot of a rivalry as Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan have had for the better part of 2024, the WWE Raw women’s division remains in a less-than-stellar state.

The division’s stunning lack of depth is even more apparent now, with Raw returning to a two-hour format last week. Ripley and Morgan have done what they can to carry it this year, but major changes are necessary to correct course.

All Elite Wrestling is addressing its own creative deficiencies, and the company’s latest pay-per-view, WrestleDream, was another solid step in the right direction, mainly because of the returns of Adam Cole and MJF.

MJF’s absence from AEW TV was brief, but Cole’s getting cleared to compete will be a great benefit to the company if he’s utilized properly.

With Jon Moxley winning the world title for a fourth time at the event and Bryan Danielson ending his run as a full-time wrestler, the main event scene could use a boost and Cole would be a welcome addition.

This installment of Quick Takes will examine where Cole fits into the top of the card in AEW right now, why The Rock’s role at WrestleMania 41 shouldn’t be in doubt, SmackDown finding the strong secondary storyline that it has desperately needed, and more.
