At WWE NXT Battleground, the brand introduced the NXT Women’s North American Championship, the first-ever Women’s mid-card title in company history. Many individuals, both in and out of WWE, believe that such a title should be introduced to the main roster and Drew McIntyre has now thrown his support behind the idea.
Speaking to FOX News ahead of his Hell in a Cell showdown with CM Punk at Bad Blood, McIntyre was confident that a mid-card Women’s title would be a reality soon enough.
“That’s certainly something that’s going to come around in the near future… The women have been killing it for years now.”
McIntyre made clear that a Women’s mid-card title wouldn’t be introduced for the sake of it, but that the roster has shown why such a title needs to exist.
“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.”
The Call For A Women’s Mid-Card Title
McIntyre is just the latest notable name to advocate for a women’s mid-card championship on WWE’s main roster. Here are some examples of others who back the idea.
- WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker believes mid-card titles would benefit the deep division of women on the main roster.
- In October 2022, Raquel Rodriguez shared that she was pushing for a mid-card title for the main roster’s women’s division.
- That same month, Bayley also backed the idea for a new title but admitted that given how long it took to create Women’s Tag Gold, fans may be waiting for a while.
- TNA’s Ash By Elegance wanted her reigns as 24/7 Champion to result in the title being a mid-card title for women, though the plan never came to fruition.
- WWE Women’s Tag Champion Bianca Belair believes the title would “highlight” the stacked division appearing on Raw and SmackDown.
