Smart move. Establishes the females as athletes vs models.

Of COURSE they won't bring back the classic Women's Championship.

Now just need new tag team championships. Hate the current ones and don't think they look at all like a wrestling championship. Good for WWE though, Womens division is the way to go.

What would you have said if there was an accurate report that they had decided that the divas ought to remain Divas because Vincent K McMahon and the network execs had decided it was best for merch sales and aided in network subscription? Hypothetically, this was reported by you, because you asked Vince yourself and he told you. How would you feel?

I think they can still be referred to as Divas from time to time, but it being called a "Women's match" and "Women's Title" is good.
Like how the male rasslers are called Superstars, but they didn't name the World Title the "Superstars Championship" or something like that.... |

It's fixed. Until they bring back the WWE Womans Championship.
I was fine with the divas title being the belt when they had shitty females fighting for it. Mostly due to Big Johnny and the Diva Search. The time is right. The Revolution is complete. Diva is dead. Long live women's wrestling. Fuck you Johnny Ace but congrats on getting married.

surprised it took them this long tbh
great move. for as strong as the women's division has become, having that joke of a butterfly belt and calling them "divas" constantly totally and wholly undermined everything they were trying to accomplish |

Probably could have done it a couple of years sooner had Total Divas not been a success early on. Big reason its happening now is because of how badly the new season is doing viewers-wise and the Bellas WWE future in serious doubt (at least for Nikki).

Isn't that just somebody playing with the CAB feature on WWE 2K16? It could end up similar based on the description in the report but I'd be hesitant to call it a "rendering of what the belt might look like".

Really won't look at the division differently if they are called Divas or Women Wrestlers. With both of the Bella's basically being done I guess it does not matter. The Bellas will probably claim to be the last real Divas while building up their brand more and more. Doubt any Woman Wrestler will surpass their brand either.

I knew it was happening soon. Stephanie was big on it. Vince liked the branding for Divas and the tie in to Total Divas. But they have seen the success of UFC promoting "women", their own success with NXT and things like womens soccer. So it was a matter of time.

It feels somewhat lazy to just make it look like the WWE title but with a different color strap or plate color. Makes me wonder if someday all of the belts will look the same.
That said it'd still be a billion times better than that butterfly monstrosity. |

You think? It'd be an easier transition to have Sascha or Becky win, come out on Raw the next night and re-christen the belt/Division. If Charlotte retains, why didn't she insist on being called "Women's Champion" months ago?

Think Charlotte is the way to go as well. Just seems like it would fit her character better to have a new belt presented to her. Then have another women do a run in, Page, Naomi, Natayla? Going to be tough not callings them divas anymore though.

I think Becky Lynch is the way to go.... As the only "real face" in the match.... Should win and then get the rub of getting to rename the division....
Of course, Stephanie McMahon will probably be the one to get the rub of renaming it and making the announcement..... |

UFC women's belts look the same. I think it should look similar because it helps associate that its equivalent to the men's world title.

XL is correct. That pic is just someone recoloring the world title in the video game.
"possible rendering" lol Even if the belts have similarities, I doubt they would just repaint the wwe title. That's just too lolTNA for WWE's standards. |

I never liked how the women's belt said WOMEN'S so big on it. Retooling the WWE WHC belt to make it a bit slimmer and maybe a little shinier is a good way to go. No reason to slap a gender identifier on their. Keep the custom side plate motif & everyone will know whose belt it is.
