Drew McIntyre has commented on the possibility of a secondary women’s title being introduced in WWE.
There has been a 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.
While speaking with Fox News, the top WWE star thinks the introduction of the title is going to happen.
“That’s (WWE midcard women’s title) certainly something that’s going to come around in the near future, and you don’t just bring titles in for the sake of bringing titles (especially) if you don’t have the adequate depth on the roster. But now, to watch just how far the women’s revolution has come – the revolution is such a distant memory now. The women have been killing it for years now.” And they got that opportunity years and years ago, and since then, we’ve had so many people come in, and it’s gotten to a point where it’s not a case of you want to be after any women’s matches, you do not want to be after the women’s match anymore because they’re going to go out there, they’re going to kill it, the (crowds) are going to be burnt out, and you’re going to have to work really hard to get them. To watch the talent pool grow, the roster depth grow, and the characters, more importantly, connect with the audience, because if they don’t care about you, it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman, nobody’s emotionally attached to you. You might as well just sit in the back and not go out there. There’s so many characters the women’s division has gotten over now. We’re at a point where if there’s a second title introduced, it’s absolutely justified.”
