It was hard to know from the start, but I really feel that Charlotte and Sasha Banks should be heading up opposite brands. Charlotte and Banks both have that "star quality" that can carry a division. Whether it's as a face or a heel, there's no real room past Banks on whatever roster she's on, unless it is against her. She's got to be the top slot. If she's on the same show as Charlotte, then she needs to be a face, which means that Bayley will need to be on the other show, which pushes Becky out of relevance.
In hindsight, it seems pretty obvious to me that the core divisions for the ladies would feature a swap between Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch. I guess the same thing could be achieved if Charlotte leaves RAW and takes up residence on SmackDown. Maybe she could claim she never lost the Divas Championship and head there with that belt? If they really do want to move away from the "Diva" branding altogether (I'm not sure that they entirely do), then they can redesign the title and have its history become something else.
