Since 2015, WWE has made a conscious effort to take women’s wrestling more seriously, with the ‘Women’s Revolution’ proving to be a hit with fans. Earlier this year, NXT brought in WWE’s first women’s mid-card title with Kelani Jordan’s North American Women’s Championship, and could this happen on the main roster?

Speaking to the Battleground Podcast, Women’s Tag Team Champion Bianca Belair added her voice to those calling for a women’s mid-card title on WWE’s main roster. Belair, who’s also a former Raw, SmackDown, and WWE Women’s Champion, believes such a title would be a net benefit for the women’s division.

“Our roster is so stacked… everybody’s trying to fight for a spot on the card. I feel like another title would really highlight the true talent of our division.”

Bianca Belair is the latest WWE name to speak in favor of a women’s mid-card championship. In 2022, Dana Brooke (now TNA’s Ash By Elegance) said that during her tenure with the 24/7 Championship, she hoped to transition the gold into a women’s Intercontinental Championship. While Brooke believed the change would motivate women outside the main title picture to strive for something, the idea never got off the ground.

In April of this year, WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker agreed that WWE’s deep women’s division could benefit from not one, but two women’s mid-card titles, one for Raw and one for SmackDown. Raquel Rodriguez, who has held gold in both WWE NXT and the main roster, said in 2022 that she was pushing for a mid-card title for women.

There have been discussions within WWE about introducing women’s mid-card titles to the main roster, Fightful Select reported back in July of this year. While there are no current plans to introduce new titles, it is something that a number of talent have pushed for over several years.
