WWE Superstar Chelsea Green has recently made a statement that she intends to start a petition to change the WWE Women’s Championship back to the Divas Championship if she wins the upcoming Money in the Bank match. Her announcement has sparked a heated debate among WWE fans, who feel that this idea would create a lot of trouble for Chelsea and would also push the women’s division several steps backward.
The Divas Championship was retired eight years ago
Chelsea’s bold announcement comes at a time when the WWE women’s division has reached great heights. The current Women’s Championship is a symbol of the progress and hard work of many female wrestlers who have fought to be recognized for their in-ring and storytelling abilities, not just their looks. The Divas Championship was retired in 2016 and is associated with the era when women’s wrestling was more about glamour and less about fighting.
In Triple H’s era women are given great importance
The proposal of bringing back the Divas Championship might lead to a lot of heat for “The Lunatic Lush.” In today’s WWE era, storytelling and character development are given the most importance. This idea could be executed in a way that adds a new dimension to the women’s division. The company may be behind the idea, as bringing back the Divas Championship seems backward to many people.
The change from Divas to superstars marked a significant shift in how female wrestlers are perceived and treated in the company. For many fans, the “Divas” term connotes an era when women weren’t given the same opportunities to display their wrestling skills and were often relegated to secondary roles. From there, the storyline could provide new opportunities for certain characters to grow and thrive. It could also create a new babyface star who is attempting to bring back the women’s title.
The title was introduced in 2008
The Divas Championship was originally created in 2008 by WWE and was introduced as part of the brand extension through a storyline. AJ Lee holds the record for the longest reign of the Divas Championship. She won the title three times during her stint at WWE. Charlotte was the final champion of the Divas Championship. She defeated Nikki Bella at the Night of Champions on September 20, 2015, to capture the title.
