Just a few weeks ago, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis introduced a new championship for the women of SmackDown. He brought in the WWE Women’s United States Championship. Ever since then, women from the blue brand have been competing for the title. Meanwhile, the women of Monday Night Raw did mention that they would like a midcard Women’s Championship as well. It seems like WWE has gone ahead and heard their voice.
On the latest episode of Raw, before the show was on-air, General Manager Adam Pearce unveiled the brand-new Women’s Championship to the crowd. He introduced the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. This championship will serve as a midcard title for all the women on the red brand. The men and women of WWE now have the same number of championships to compete for.
The design of the championship is very much the same compared to the men’s title. A very notable difference is the color of the strap, with the men’s title being black and the women’s title being white. This has created a lot of excitement among the female wrestlers in the locker room as well. A new championship will now give them more opportunities to come into the limelight.
During the announcement, Adam also added that a tournament to crown the first-ever WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion will begin next week. No specific brand or show has been mentioned where the matches will take place.
WWE Universe reacts to the new Women’s Intercontinental Championship
The women’s division in WWE has been growing rapidly. Just a few weeks ago, fans saw the revealing of the United States Championship for women. Now the Intercontinental Championship has also been added. The fans have been very pleased by this. The women of WWE have worked very hard for the past multiple years to bring about this new revolution.
It seems like the WWE fans have already started to imagine themselves capturing this championship on WWE 2K25. However, the fans are not pleased about the fact that the championship was not revealed on air. They feel that not revealing the championship on live television has already dropped its prestige.
According to the fans, there are multiple female superstars who will finally get the respect they deserve. Zelina Vega seems to be one of the superstars who the fans are pushing to capture the championship. Meanwhile, other sets of fans feel that Natalya, who has been around for a long period of time, deserves the honor of being the inaugural holder of the championship.
Whoever may capture this championship first, it seems that the fans are very pleased with its arrival. They have been looking forward to this moment for a while. There are multiple female superstars who have not gotten the spotlight in the main event scene. Winning championship gold is always very prestigious, and this opens the door for multiple women to have an amazing career ahead.
