[PW Insider] WWE Prepping Another New Championship (Paywall)

pwinsider.com /article/190309/wwe-already-prepping-another-new-championship.html

Plans are underway for WWE to introduce a Women's Intercontinental Championship for the WWE RAW brand.

The expectation is that it would likely start to get rolled out after the Women's United States Title has been established.

  • honestly wwe already made belts worthless when every reign becomes a record holding reign.

  • Wrestling in general has too many belts. When I was growing up, they had the WWF title, the intercontinental title, and the tag team titles. That's all.

    Now granted, yes, I realize that the women need their own versions too.

    So make the WWE Womens belt (which in my opinion should have been the one dating back to the 1960s with the great moolah, and then wendi richter in the 80s, alundra blaze/sable in the 90s, then a whole bunch of people in the 2000s. Mostly Lita/Trish Stratus/Victoria/Gail Kim. Then they ditched that belt for the "divas" belt.

    Fuck the divas belt. Fuck the divas. Not because they're women, but because the whole mentality of the divas division is attractive but untalented models roll around in their underwear. Fuck that. Give me the modern version of womens wrestling.

    They should be doing the WWE womens belt. The old lineage.

    Outside of that belt, they should have a secondary belt. And a set of tag belts.

    Instead they have 2 belts. One for raw, one for smackdown. But that's not enough. So they give both to roman. Then create a new one on raw. Then what the fuck was the point of consolidating them???

    Then they have like 4 secondary belts. Two sets of tag belts, they've had at various times the cruiserweight belt, the 24/7 belt, a digital media belt, I seem to remember a cardboard belt at one time.

    It should be really really simple.

    WWE title. Dates back to 1963.

    Intercontinental title. Dates back to 1972.

    Tag belts. ???

    WWE womens title. Dates back to the 1960s.

    Womens secondary belt. I guess you're establishing the Womens United States Belt this year. Great. Use that.

    Womens tag belts. I think 2018 they started these? Could be wrong.

    And MAYBE one floating gimmicky title that changes every few years. They had the million dollar belt for a while. Then the European title. Then the Hardcore title. Then they went a long while without a gimmicky title. Then they had the 24/7 belt.

    But how many titles does one company need? Oh, everybody is a champion I suppose!
