Chelsea Green has commented on the rumor that the WWE Women’s Intercontinental and United States Championships were in the works for the main roster.
The news was first reported by hashtagPWN. It was followed by a Fightful Select report, which noted that the idea was being discussed. However, the images floated around social media were AI art, not the actual designs. Dave Meltzer also confirmed the news.
While appearing on The Masked Man show, Green noted that it’s long overdue and would be a game-changer for the women’s division.
“I don’t know if it’s been confirmed because I don’t know. I only saw it on the internet. Whatever you guys are reading, I’m also reading too. I’m hoping and praying that’s true. Any more spotlights the women can get would be amazing. I do think it’s long overdue. It’s another step in the right direction. I didn’t even think this could happen two years ago. Now, I’m like, ‘Of course it’s happening.’ It has to happen. Now that it’s on the internet, we need this to happen. Obviously, I think it would be amazing to showcase the women that could be champions in the future, but maybe we don’t see them in that light right now. Maybe we see them as floaters, or maybe they haven’t locked down their character, or maybe they are a funny girl. Maybe me. There are all these women where we have so much talent, and we’re not able to showcase it all the time. And so putting another title in the mix would just up the ante for that mid-level girl who, we know, we can elevate them. We know they can get there, but maybe the fans don’t believe in them yet. Maybe they need that championship to showcase that they can lead a division. If this comes to fruition, it will be a game-changer for the women’s locker room on Raw and SmackDown.”
This comes after WWE introduced a women’s midcard title last month at Battleground, which saw Kelani Jordan become the inaugural NXT Women’s North American Champion in a six-way ladder match.
