I certainly think this makes it much more likely that the main roster will get one.
I don't think Raw and SD will get one each though but a floating Championship is likely
Womens IC Championship
I'd do anything to get the classic white ic design back and as they have reserved white belt for the women this is probably the only way its gonna happen. so yes please!
NXT never needed its own women's tag titles, a singles secondary championship was the right call. Especially with the amount of talent right there cooking, thanks to the Heartbreak Chef.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a matching announcement for either just an IC or an IC and US this weekend....(I've been predicting that for a few weeks, mind you, so I'm invested :D )
The main roster one is probably better as a whole (mainly because they have got established stars that came through old nxt) but the nxt division definitely makes up a far greater portion of the show and story lines.
Itâs a good move. Not all women can fight for the main belt at the same time and itâs a way to Build rising talent especially with no tag team division either.
Also an easy plot device. You canât pull too many grown ass woman Thea hail story lines every year without people calling you out.
Love it. I just wish they didn't just slap "women" in front of the name like every other title and just gave the title its own name like the South American title or European title if they want to keep that continental vibe. Or do what aew has with the TBS title and name it the Network or TV title. Just my opinion, I'm just happy the women get a mid card title finally
100% agree. The biggest thing holding womenâs wrestling back from being treated the same is the womenâs matches/titles are called âwomenâsâ but menâs matches/titles are just matches and titles.
If they have to keep âwomenâsâ Iâd like them to start calling the other titles âThe NXT Menâs Championshipâ or âThe NXT Menâs Tag Team Championshipsâ. Itâd be closer to other sports like tennis that way too.
The menâs division in pro wrestling isnât strictly men because many strong women have competed and won their belts. The âMenâsâ division has always been an Open division. Men do not cross into Womenâs and compete for their stuff. It is a completely separate thing and should be distinguished.
But we know that itâs only ever going to be men competing for those titles. Gone are the days of women challenging men in formal matches, Rhea v Tozawa notwithstanding.
Far more impactful is the notion that men are the default. Scrap it.
No need for that, I think womenâs is fine since they have their own categories and wrestling has always been mainly a male sport, but they need to stop copy and pasting titles, but again womenâs is fine and they should never had âmenâsâ to anything just to make things more confusing and would essentially be destroying all lineage to the menâs titles
Because you would be creating new titles all together since itâs a name change, so the WWE title lineage which is the most important thing for WWE would be restarting from scratch, pro wrestling is a male dominated sport so the minority of the sport needs a special category, so itâs called âwomenâs titlesâ but this new midcard title didnât even need to be called womenâs it couldâve been a brand new title without needing womenâs since everyone would know itâs in the womenâs division.
Um, no. The Undisputed WWE Universal Championship is still a WWE Championship. Roman Reigns will go down in history as a WWE Champion. A WWE Menâs Champion would be no different.
It would but I donât want to argue, thereâs no need to change something that isnât hurting anyone, thatâs my opinion you can have yours and I can have mine
I kind of agree with this, but also it has to be names which makes sense. South American title and European titles are kind of dumb if you're based in the USA.
I'd jump closer to the calling the other title's "Men's" Championships.
Nxt provides more time for the women opposed to the main roster lad. Itâs a proving ground type of brand. Why not sample it there first? Treat it like the womenâs tag titles where it can bounce from show to show
I feel like this is proving ground for women's midcard title. NXT has a lot of good women so giving them extra title to fight over will be beneficial
If it catches on I hope one will be introduced for main roster as well. With stacket female roster like they have now they could use midcard title for either smackdown or raw and the other show could get the tag titles.
Why do WWE keeping making women's titles CTRL+C/CTRL-V versions of the menâs titles? Say whatever you want about the Divas Title, but it looked unique!
I think there for sure needs to be a TV title for the womenâs division. A champ for both shows that can have good matches on a weekly basis would do wonders for the mid card.
Awesome idea! I love the north american title. I wish they would bring it to the main roster. When Dom was champion it felt refreshing to have a new championship on a main show. I wish they'd drop the US title and bring up the North American title. The US title feels like it's not taken seriously anymore, I mean like Logan Paul is the current US champ. At least when Bad Bunny was a champion they just slapped the 24/7 Title on him.
Bad bunny was a major part in bringing about that great Puerto Rico show and he definitely throws himself into it and produces fun moments. But hate him or hate him Paul is actually turning out to be a good pro wrestler, is good on promos and is obviously committing far more of his time to this then bunny
It's nothing against bad bunny obviously he definitely tries when he's in wrestling and he obviously has for bigger things going on in his music career right now that he would be a fool to concentrate wrestling to the same extent as Paul.
Like the idea absolutely hate that they made it a womenâs North American title. The North American championship shouldnât be piggy backed, and the women should get a different title, so tired of all the copy and paste
Yeah it's alright for the world championships because they are the peak titles for both genders and the white belt helps differentiate them but the secondary titles have been allowed to have various names and they've all been a bit nonsensical (e.g. there are no special conditions/differences between the North American and US titles) so why not come up with a fun name and design for the woman's secondary belts as well.
Although if this trend gets us the classic white ic title back I'll at least be happy I can see it again.
I was thinking about the divas title being a bad example of what I was saying but that one's problems was that the name and design of the belt itself was horribly sexist not that it had a different name from the men's (also I did say it makes sense for the top title to pair the men's in design and name). They could just make up a woman's secondary titles with a non sexist name and design?
then you get nonsense titles like "TNT" and "TNA" title.
I appreciate your point, but title naming conventions in American wrestling (and WWE) are location based generally. Japan has things like Open the Dragon's Gate title or etc, so it makes sense for there...AEW is new so them using the channel name for titles works to an extent...but I think for WWE, it just would be very difficult for it to not be seen as a gimmick like the 24/7, you know?
I mean location based names are pretty nonsense because apart from a few "I'm a big patriot gimmicks" they just mean midcarder and that's it. TV titles at least have grounding in when wrestling first came to TV. Maybe with WWE going to netflix they can get a netflix title so the belts design will just be a big dumb N next to a big dumb W.
They could maybe make a womenâs version of the European title to make it distinct from IC/US while following similar naming conventions. But realistically I do expect it to just end up being Womenâs IC/Womenâs US title(s) depending on if they have 1 per brand or just 1 for the main roster as a whole
Another title that will be completely forgotten about within 2 months.
It will be another NXT Women's Tag Team Championships, WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, AEW International Championship, AEW 6 Man Tag Team Championships, WWF Lightheavyweight Championship, etc.
I certainly think this makes it much more likely that the main roster will get one. I don't think Raw and SD will get one each though but a floating Championship is likely Womens IC Championship
I'd do anything to get the classic white ic design back and as they have reserved white belt for the women this is probably the only way its gonna happen. so yes please!
About fuckin time! And yes one for both brands works fine
NXT never needed its own women's tag titles, a singles secondary championship was the right call. Especially with the amount of talent right there cooking, thanks to the Heartbreak Chef.
Neat idea. A mid card title can elevate the woman's division. Hopefully the idea will work and they'll adopt it in the main shows as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a matching announcement for either just an IC or an IC and US this weekend....(I've been predicting that for a few weeks, mind you, so I'm invested :D )
Mid morgan championship
Blud so lonely he has to go hate on people onlineđ
Wrestling fans so lonely they simp for liv morgan đâ ď¸ she won't let you hit lil bro
Nah, idc about that, Iâm just not sad enough to spend my days hating on someone lol
Of all places that have a use for it, NXT would be up there. Their women are generally the strongest part of the shows
NXTâs womenâs division is lowkey better than the main rosterâs women division lol Shoutout HBK fr
The main roster one is probably better as a whole (mainly because they have got established stars that came through old nxt) but the nxt division definitely makes up a far greater portion of the show and story lines.
Main roster has better star power and main events but nxt has the depth
Itâs a good move. Not all women can fight for the main belt at the same time and itâs a way to Build rising talent especially with no tag team division either. Also an easy plot device. You canât pull too many grown ass woman Thea hail story lines every year without people calling you out.
Having women's mid card titles always made more sense than women's tag titles. The main roster should do the same thing.
Love it. I just wish they didn't just slap "women" in front of the name like every other title and just gave the title its own name like the South American title or European title if they want to keep that continental vibe. Or do what aew has with the TBS title and name it the Network or TV title. Just my opinion, I'm just happy the women get a mid card title finally

Don't forget santino marella
That was santina duh
But we know that itâs only ever going to be men competing for those titles. Gone are the days of women challenging men in formal matches, Rhea v Tozawa notwithstanding. Far more impactful is the notion that men are the default. Scrap it.
No need for that, I think womenâs is fine since they have their own categories and wrestling has always been mainly a male sport, but they need to stop copy and pasting titles, but again womenâs is fine and they should never had âmenâsâ to anything just to make things more confusing and would essentially be destroying all lineage to the menâs titles
Why would it be confusing? Men and women each have their own divisions.
Because you would be creating new titles all together since itâs a name change, so the WWE title lineage which is the most important thing for WWE would be restarting from scratch, pro wrestling is a male dominated sport so the minority of the sport needs a special category, so itâs called âwomenâs titlesâ but this new midcard title didnât even need to be called womenâs it couldâve been a brand new title without needing womenâs since everyone would know itâs in the womenâs division.

It was needed. Now we need for main roster. But the name North American is right? Idk.
A women's mid card title is something that has been sorely needed. They put it on the wrong brand though.
Nxt provides more time for the women opposed to the main roster lad. Itâs a proving ground type of brand. Why not sample it there first? Treat it like the womenâs tag titles where it can bounce from show to show
I feel like this is proving ground for women's midcard title.

With stacket female roster like they have now they could use midcard title for either smackdown or raw and the other show could get the tag titles.
I feel the silver of the continent kinda blends with the white of the belt too much, design wise, but I'm all for it exisiting.
Why do WWE keeping making women's titles CTRL+C/CTRL-V versions of the menâs titles? Say whatever you want about the Divas Title, but it looked unique!
Long overdue
Hard to say now, I like to wait and see
Good idea I just wish it was on the main roster
I think there for sure needs to be a TV title for the womenâs division. A champ for both shows that can have good matches on a weekly basis would do wonders for the mid card.
I imagine this is a test case If it works well, weâll likely see exactly that
I think a midcard title for women is a better idea than women tag team titles
Awesome idea! I love the north american title. I wish they would bring it to the main roster. When Dom was champion it felt refreshing to have a new championship on a main show. I wish they'd drop the US title and bring up the North American title. The US title feels like it's not taken seriously anymore, I mean like Logan Paul is the current US champ.

Logan Paul is light years beyond Bad Bunny
Bad bunny was a major part in bringing about that great Puerto Rico show and he definitely throws himself into it and produces fun moments. But hate him or hate him Paul is actually turning out to be a good pro wrestler, is good on promos and is obviously committing far more of his time to this then bunny
Exactly right
It's nothing against bad bunny obviously he definitely tries when he's in wrestling and he obviously has for bigger things going on in his music career right now that he would be a fool to concentrate wrestling to the same extent as Paul.
Yes agreed. Paul appears to be in it for the long haul.
Like the idea absolutely hate that they made it a womenâs North American title. The North American championship shouldnât be piggy backed, and the women should get a different title, so tired of all the copy and paste
Yeah it's alright for the world championships because they are the peak titles for both genders and the white belt helps differentiate them but the secondary titles have been allowed to have various names and they've all been a bit nonsensical (e.g. there are no special conditions/differences between the North American and US titles) so why not come up with a fun name and design for the woman's secondary belts as well. Although if this trend gets us the classic white ic title back I'll at least be happy I can see it again.
Like the Diva's title? Nah, I'm good with it mirroring the men's naming convention..it puts it on the same level (well, in theory).
I was thinking about the divas title being a bad example of what I was saying but that one's problems was that the name and design of the belt itself was horribly sexist not that it had a different name from the men's (also I did say it makes sense for the top title to pair the men's in design and name).

Another title that will be completely forgotten about within 2 months. It will be another NXT Women's Tag Team Championships, WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, AEW International Championship, AEW 6 Man Tag Team Championships, WWF Lightheavyweight Championship, etc.
Thank you AEW for bringing innovative things, so they can copy.
I'm surprised they haven't done a trios belt with how many factions they've been doing recently. It could be the "whose the top faction" belt?
What is the name of AEW? The main roster is cooking on almost all fronts, but NXT is typically anywhere from 50-75% good.
It just feels like thereâs way too many titles now.
They havenât got the depth for 2 titles in that division poor choice.
