“Your Two Cents” is our interactive feature where we gauge the opinions of our Twitter and Facebook followers on different discussions in women’s wrestling.
This week, we’re asking this: Two years ago yesterday, the Women’s Title & Divas Title were unified. We want to know: do you think the division would be better off today if the WWE kept both titles? We’ve read your responses on our social media pages and picked some of the best submissions to highlight here on the website. As always, you can join the debate by leaving your comments!

Ahl Anthony Aggari | They should have kept both titles. One for Smackdown and one for Raw. In that way, more Divas will have more chance to showcase their talents. I just miss those times where Superstars and Divas fights for their brands. Those epic Smackdown vs. Raw are now gone. Until now, I can’t believe that they retired the Women’s Championship. It was a really prestigious title. |
|
Ant John | Personally, I never saw much need for two titles. There were only a handful of Divas on each brand that could put on solid matches, and I feel having the two made the depth of the division shallower. Outside of Victoria, Michelle McCool, Natalya and Maryse there was no one on the blue brand to contend for the Divas title (when it original came in). They should’ve done what they do now, have all Divas on both brands competing for one title. More Divas = more thirsty competition. Now if only WWE did something with them for longer than a cup of coffee the belt might mean something. |
|
Bobby James | I have always supported having 2. One, the Women’s Championship for established talents like Beth Phoenix, Layla, Natalya and Eve Torres. And one used to develop women like Tamina, Aksana, Kaitlyn, etc. I think eliminating the Women’s Championship was a mistake. It took the division down as a whole. Plus who in their right mind doesn’t think names like Kharma, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Eve and Layla don’t need to be on the Moolah/Trish Stratus/Lita list? |
|
Eric Holt | I feel that the WWE should have kept both titles active. Since the Women’s Championship belt was retired, there has been one divas feud that happens for about a month or so, and as a result, more Divas have had to take a backseat and wait for their opportunity to be a part of a feud/get a title shot. If WWE had kept both titles, we’d be treated to not one, but two Diva feuds, and more Divas would be used. Plus, it would of have been nice to have seen other DESERVING Divas who have never held the Women’s Championship or the Divas Championship to have held one or the other. |
|
Francisco Mata | It’s kinda difficult to predict what will happen in the future, but I’m going to risk and say that it would’ve been a horrible decision if WWE kept both titles. Why? Simply because as we have seen most of the Divas reigns nowadays are forgettable to say the very least, and if the Women’s Title was kept it would destroy the prestige that was built over the years by many great women’s wrestlers. Taking the Women’s Title away had its pros and cons but taking it away definately made a good transition to a new generation. |
|
Josue Guzman | I find myself constantly asking myself this. We have to keep in mind that what made the Women’s Title so prestigious was that it was around for 50+ years, was held by some of the greatest women in WWE history, was very strongly pushed (back when ALL the titles meant something) and put in very strong and entertaining story lines/fueds.
The Divas Title has yet to hit the five mark, held by women who some find as “unworthy” of being champion and has never really been pushed the way the Women’s Title was. I do think that division would’ve been better had the WWE kept both titles. After all the whole reason the Divas Title was even introduced was to give the Smackdown an opportunity to some gold (well, in this case, silver).
More titles means more opportunities, I mean look at what happened to the tag division when the WWE unified their title; the division was hurt too. All I’m saying is that with some time, the right creative team, a new roster and perhaps a more serious design, the Divas Title can be worth something to look forward to. |
|
Kiemon Beard | It makes the one title a hot potato to whatever flavor of the week is gaining popularity. Two titles could allow Divas to grow on each brand. |
|
Megan Travis | On paper the answer should be yes. One belt could still be used for Raw and the other Smackdown and that would mean at least four ladies are getting showcased in the two title feuds. But WWE’s had trouble bothering to book anything for a single title feud up until lately so it makes me think there would have been that issue with both belts. |
|
Zak Burke | It’s best they left the Women’s Title behind because think of all the women who’ve held the Divas title since Michelle’s second reign. Can you imagine them as Women’s Champ? |
And now we turn it over to you…
What are your two cents on the debate? Should the WWE have kept both championships? Tell us in the comments…

When there was two titles, the writing staff was forced to focus on each set of women on each brand. It created more storylines and more feuds. Having the one belt has made creative lazy. It was harder to neglect two sides, then to neglect one.

The title has been retired before and brought back years later.
Anyone think it’ll happen again?

I really hope so and I’m in hope for years.
My thought were that Kharma would come out one day and say that the Divas title is for little girls while she is a real woman and a real woman deservers a womens championship demanding for the womens championship to be brought back.
Unfortunately with her leave my hope its less but still there.
at 8:31 pm
Its true can you imagine both belts still around and both getting no treatment
at 8:39 pm
I think they should have never brought in another singles title for the women, they should have kept the original belt that had some great former champions that made it credible. They should have brought in a tag title for the diva’s if they wanted a second title for them. The diva’s title really seemed to be the beginning of the end for the diva’s. I say no to two singles titles, but yes to a tag title.
Get rid of that stupid butterfly belt, bring back the women’s title, and then have a tag title for smackdown, that would be better for the diva’s.

OMG I completely agree! I have always thought that should’ve made a tag division for the smackdown brand and had the singles division on raw. In saying that, I would have booked/made the roster so that the singles division would be obviously the more talented (with the odd exception of having a breakout star) and having the less experienced (just stepped up from NXT or something) on smackdown, (again with the odd exception of having a higher talented duo to carry matches etc)
Heres how I would make the rosters if I were in charge .. which in my own opinion I should be lol.
Raw:
Kharma (WOMANS CHAMP) [Heel, but over with the crowed in a face way]
Beth [heel]
Eve [heel] (plus in cahoots with DEL REY as the attacker)
Del Rey [heel] (in cahoots with Eve)
Paige [face]
Layla [face]
AJ [face]
Alicia Fox [face but with her foxy attitude]
Smackdown:
Natalya & Tamina aka Wrestling Royalty (TAG CHAMPS) [heel]
Naomi & Cameron(With Brudus in a 1man 2woman stable)[face]
Bella Twins (if they were still contracted) [heel]
Kelly and Kaitlyn aka K2 [face]
Raquel Diaz, Aksana, Rosa(Have Raquel dubbed from Mexico) aka Foreign Exchange [heel]
Thats how I would have done it any way, and if any one from the WWE is reading this, you are more than welcome to steal my ideas haha .. or hire me on the creative team :P
at 8:45 pm
Even though the belt was made for smackdown. I feel that it was mad for divas who were getting to close to beating Trish Stratus record setting 7 championship wins. So they retired it and now no one else can even get close again like Mickie James was.

Logic concludes WWE would have to give another Diva a push, which would greatly please me… so yes!
at 8:51 pm
I feel like having 2 titles did a lot. Like the one person had said earlier the women’s title for established female wrestlers such as Beth, Natalya, Eve, Layla, Alicia Fox, Naomi, AJ and Tamina. Then have the diva’s title for girls who are trying to be established like Kaitlyn, Aksana, Kelly Kelly, Cameron and Rosa Mendes. When it was 2 titles the divas was show cased on both shows. We had better storylines and nobody was exactly sitting on the sideline. Even if you wasn’t number 1 contender you would have the job of being that diva who would help the champ(if heel) get in the mind of the contender or if face you would have your friends(the champ) back. Plus the if you ask me it’s better the women’s title was retired. The way the diva’s title is treated now I wouldn’t want a title that historic to be used in such fashion.
at 8:54 pm
Personally, I think they should have kept the womens title and had that on RAW with the established wrestlers and have the divas title on Smackdown for the women that are progressing but saying that, it’s not all about the wrestling, it’s the character, the crowd reaction, how marketable the diva is because I don’t want to see 2 sets of diva feuds for both titles if none of them don’t even get any reaction.
On RAW, i’d have: AJ, Beth, Eve, Layla, Kelly, Naomi & Natalya
Babyfaces: AJ, Layla, Kelly & Naomi
Heels: Beth, Eve & Natalya
On Smackdown, i’d have: Aksana, Alicia, Cameron, Kaitlyn, Rosa & Tamina.
Babyfaces: Alicia, Cameron & Kaitlyn.
Heels: Aksana, Rosa & Tamina.
Now, with the RAW being the flagship brand, the reason as to why I put Kelly in the womens title divison is because she’s the most popular diva in the company, I may be no fan but having Kelly there can boost a feud i.e with Eve, Beth and Natalya.
But saying all of that, in terms of the current state of the division, it’s best to keep the one title and have the other divas in other feuds like Rosa and Aksana are managers and AJ is an on air character.
at 9:03 pm
The people who think that 2 titles is great idea clearly have a short memory or simply didnt watch when the 2 belt were active. IT WAS A MESS. The same people were feuding over the same title over and over again. It took away the prestige of the women’s title. If wwe cant even handle ONE feud, can you image handling 2 feuds at once? We wouldve watched people like Alicia, Maryse, Bellas, Kelly, Eve holding the title without any meaning to it. The divas title takes away the pressure for the girls to deliver and it gives them a opportinity to create something new. Its was no brainer to retire the womens belt. LETS MOVE ON.

It wasn’t a smart idea on the diva’s division as a whole. I see you’re point, but.. thats why nobody cares about the division right now and that belt was the start of it. IMO.

I think that the Women’s Title really lost some prestige when it was broken in half during Lay-Cool’s “Co-Champion” run.
Jake Reply:

The Women’s title lost “prestige” way before that. The title was more laughable around the late 90′s and the early 2000′s than the Divas Championship is now. It had it’s good years when Trish was HBIC but after she left nobody was ever happy how the title was booked.
I don’t understand why the majority care so much for this belt. The belt means nothing. It’s all about how the champion is booked. Let’s look at Daniel Bryan and Kane. Nobody cares that they’re holding belts that date back to 2002. =/
Lily Reply:

I think that added more prestige to the Women’s Title.
at 9:06 pm
Two titles would greatly benefit the Diva’s division and no would be the perfect time to reinstate it. Diva’s Like Mickie and Melina who WWE were worried about surpassing Trish’s record are no longer with the company so it’s safe to have the two titles; The women’s championship for developed stars like Beth, Eve, etc and the Diva’s championship for stars such as Kaitlyn, Rosa, etc.
It would give more diva’s a chance to showcase their talents and gain recognition and perhaps even create new memorable champions.
at 9:24 pm
I think Vince/WWE should have kept both the Women’s title and the Divas title I miss both being in WWE at the same time. I hope Vince/WWE brings back the Women’s title and still keep the Divas title at the same time again.
at 9:33 pm
The lack of any kind of development for the girls besides Eve, AJ and Vickie Guerrero and the lack of interest by most wrestling fans when it comes to the girls and the title makes me think it was a good idea. They can barely handle the one belt, what makes anyone think it’d be a good idea to have two? Plus the glittery, purple accessory works better with the image and wrestling style of today’s Divas.
at 10:02 pm
they choosed to keep only one and it´s the mess we are tired of seeing over,over,over and over again.
i find amusing,to say the least,how this question is even made…
at 10:03 pm
The butterfly belt is a joke. They need to bring back the womens championship back. Just the picture we have now of having all female talent being portratied as divas and not wrestlers is just a load of bullsht.
They should vacate the butterfly title and bring back the old one, or at least have one that is actually made to look like it is worth something.
perceval Reply:
September 20th, 2012 at 10:21 pm
The Division, such as it is, would still be the same regardless of what the belt looks like or what the title is called. At least this way the Women’s Championship retains what it represented.

I love that – “Butterfly Belt”. Haha. Yes bring back the Women’s!
at 10:23 pm
In all honesty, I don’t think having both belts still would solve anything. There’s two midcard belts and that division is lacking from what it used to be as well. The tag belts have been lacking until lately but every time that seems to be on a good track it goes off the rails again.
at 10:53 pm
I was a huge wrestling fan growing up. I more so watched just to watch the women wrestle. I was extremely hurt when they retired the Womens Championship. I am a male and I only connected with the Womens Championship because I mostly watched the womens division. after taking some time and really looking at it, I had to realize that this was done for good reason. I would not have wanted divas such as the bellas, kelly kelly, Maryse etc… holding the womens championship. It would have been a slap in the face to the ladies that actually worked to make that championship what it was. Granted people like the cat/Debra/Harvey(Hervina) adds a blimish to that record, the womens division moved past that and really made it a prestigious title. The divas title is a joke. Its cute but it doesnt scream champion it screams child. The way they disrespected the championship before it was retired was terrible. It was treated as a second class title. I am glad they retired it. I did like that having both titles dded more storyl ines for the divas though.
at 11:03 pm
One title worked great during the Golden Era. Of course, then it was about the wrestling.
From Survivor Series 2001 through Wrestlemania 22 in 2006, a grand total of six women held the Women’s Championship: Trish Stratus, Jazz, Molly Holly, Victoria, Gail Kim, & Lita. Yet, they still found plenty for the other Divas to do on TV. Stacy Keibler & Torrie Wilson were two of the most popular Divas they ever had, and neither ever held the Championship. They didn’t need the belt, and the belt didn’t need them. Each Diva on Raw and Smackdown had SOMETHING going on.
Given how annoying Sunny is, it’s easy not to notice in all her rants that sometimes she’s actually had a good point, in this case when she said not every woman in the business had to be a wrestler. I think it’s partly the Divas, themselves. They all want to be Trish & Lita. Granted, Trish & Lita got paid more than the pure eye candy, but not everyone is cut out to be a wrestler.
Why not more valets and managers? How about making one of the Divas a backstage interviewer like Terri & Maria? They were great in those roles, and it’s what made Maria so popular. Or, why not give a Diva that’s a good talker a Piper’s Pit type talk show segment, like Sunny had?
So, I think one Championship is fine, but it needs to be kept to the women who are the real wrestlers. Meanwhile, find ways to utilize the other Divas the way they used to do with no problem.
at 11:13 pm
I don’t think the roster is big enough for the need of two titles. I wished they kept the women’s title or redesigned it so it had that ‘modern’ look to it. I hope in the near future they can bring it back. A storyline to do it would be have Paige and Skyler attacking the Divas, even Beth and natalya saying that they’re still blonde divas etc. and then have the roster gang up on them at a ppv – and then Kharma comes out and helps out Paige and skyler, with those 3 being the anti diva army. Have kharma fued with whoever has the title. Win, and at the end cut a promo saying she deserves something with a little more prestige than the divas title, and she brings out the women’s championship! Either that or have her hold both titles at once. Makes it more interesting too
at 11:14 pm
I think they should have two the womens title for the wrestlers & the divas title for kelly,aksana & co…….
i think they need to rotate the women they use so every diva gets a push for the title…..
kreece Reply:
September 20th, 2012 at 11:21 pm
That’d be kind of unfair for those who get the divas title as its saying there not good enough for the prestigious one. People like the Kat etc have had that title, so I don’t mind if someone like Aksana managed to grab it in the future in a cheating way, makes things more fun and shakes up the title chase if you get me? They just need certain Divas to improve thee craft and say goodbye to those who can’t
at 11:18 pm
People are focusing too much on the look of the belt and things that are irrelevant, to me the Women’s Championship need to be retired because of the huge history. I think that belt has like 50 years or more of history but that belt was created when real female wrestlers where in the ring and not models like today, so the Divas Championship is the right championship right now for this girls. The only day that I would love to see that belt again is the day that WWE start hiring real female wrestlers.
The true is that this division is bad and isn’t because of the girls or the belts, its all WWE’s fault, their writers are really bad and WWE don’t even put their divas for 5 minutes in the show. They have talents like Beth, Natalya & Alicia as jobbers, Layla is a great diva and a good female wrestler but they don’t even make a good storyline for her in her tittle run. The only two divas that are getting something from WWE are AJ & Eve and the real question is: How long will they be on top? In other hand WWE have new talents like Kaitlyn & Naomi that aren’t really getting a chance. WWE have been releasing their best divas from WWE and FCW like Sofia Cortez, Melina, Mickie James, Kharma, etc. WWE is doing it all wrong with the most of their divas, only Vickie, AJ & Eve have girl power in WWE but lets face it since WWE is PG the most affected division is the Divas Division because they used their divas as sex icons, now this girls are suffering what the other divas did. (: I will always say that Sunny, Sable, Lita, Trish & others made the female division a joke! Since them the division is all about beauty, sex, bra & panties, modeling and being a slut in the storylines.
at 11:40 pm
It was better when there were two titles, because then the divas have time to show their talent, instead of being champion one week, and the other a jobber. Tamina, Natalya, Kharma, Alicia Fox would have been great women’s champions and they would have great feuds with, i don’t know, former champions like Beth Phoenix, Melina, Michelle Mccool and/or Gail Kim. WWE lost so many talented divas, because of their weight, of their looks, of their characters, etc. But they could have use them to build up a lot, and i mean it, A LOT of interesting feuds. Why not to divide the roster equally?, i mean, experienced and not that much experienced divas in both rosters, so the divas that don’t have experience can learn from the divas that do have experience. (example: Laycool: Layla learned a lot from Michelle, and the same in TNA: TnT: Brooke learned a lot from Tara) and ALL the divas are being use.

This is very bad. Whether you love her or hate her Beth Phoenix is an important stable of the division! She one of last veterans left who can carry green talent. If she’s gone Natalya would be the ONLY diva with over a decade of experience. Which means the rookie and intermediate talent would be forced to carry their own weight now from this point forward! This is probably why Aksana got split from Antonio so she could become a full time jobber with Natalya. Also, I think quite a few developmental divas should be brought up soon! I would love to see Paige, Emma, and Skyler Moon come in since they are the most main roster ready from a wrestling stand point!
kreece Reply:
September 21st, 2012 at 12:32 am
That’s so true, I can’t see natalya staying for that long either now :/ I’d love it for those 3 to be called up, but I don’t think they’d do much with them just yet. I really hope they revaluate the way they book these girls and take them seriously. Get rid of the dead weight like Kelly and book them as actual wrestlers, it’d be so weird without Beth, I hope if its true she gets a nice send off
at 12:56 am
I feel like they missed a golden opportunity to bring back the Women’s Championship back when Laycool dropped their titles to Natalya & started feuding with the unofficial Divas of Doom. After Natalya was finished with Laycool, they (Laycool) should’ve continued their feud with Beth since they were all on Smackdown at the time. Then it should’ve culminated with Beth challenging both members of Laycool to a handicap match for the Women’s Championship since Beth lost the belt in a handicap match and never received a rematch. Unfortunately, that would’ve most likely ended up with the divas getting too popular for WWE’s liking; and as Lisa Moretti (Ivory) once said, “as soon as the women get too popular, they detonate it.” For example, when the Diva’s division was at its best in 03-04 and the women were just as over, if not more than some of the men, WWE implemented the “Diva Search” as a detonator. I personally think that if the sexist ppl who run WWE had the MALE wrestlers step their abilities up, they wouldn’t have to be worried about the women showing them up in the ring.

I always figured the main purpose of Diva Search was to supply models for the annual Playboy issue. Fans had joked, back then, that Trish was probably glad they were doing Diva Search so they’d stop bugging her about doing Playboy, but there may be some truth to it. Remember, Johnny Ace only looked for potential Divas that were Playboy model types.
And, look at the timing. Of their Big Four Divas; Trish, Lita, Stacy, & Torrie; all but Torrie had refused to pose for Playboy. They couldn’t have Torrie do it for the third year in a row, so… Playboy Model Search… um, I mean Diva Search. Notice, from then on, every Diva that posed for that annual issue of Bunnymag was from Diva Search.
But, when the company ended their association with Playboy, that left them with a bunch of eye candy and few wrestlers.

That’s what I totally dislike in the whole thing aswell.
Why should the Divas suffer under the mediocre performance of male wrestlers?
If they aren’t good enough then they should try harder, if they can’t, then put them in other roles or release them but for the love of god, let the Divas be free from moveset restrictions and in ring action so they can showcase their talent in full.
Going out there with watered down movesets, “be girly and not too physical or you will get heat” restrictions and “don’t you dare to outshine a superstar” in like 30 seconds to 2 minute matches won’t ever do anything for the division. -.-
at 1:07 am
In a way I’m kinda glad that the Women’s Title was retired. As much as I love The Bella Twins & Alicia. Those girls along with Kelly don’t deserve to hold a belt of that prestige. I mean the latter of the 3 can barely even wrestle and has been with WWE how long??? towards the end of the belt, it was really being degraded…. I mean come on! ‘LayCool’ breaking the belt?! Talk about a slap in the face to all the past deserving female wrestlers (note I didn’t say Diva) who held the belt.

Except for what happened with the Women’s Championship AFTER Miss Kitty.
The black, gold & red belt with glass shards & barbed wire as part of it’s design went from that to being the one held by Jacqueline Moore, Lita, Ivory, Chyna, Trish Stratus, Jazz, Molly Holly, Victoria, Gail Kim, Mickie James, Melina, Candice Michelle, & Beth Phoenix. THOSE are the women people associate with that belt, not Miss Kitty or Debra.
So, yes, it’s a belt that deserves better than Kelly Kelly vs Brie Bella.

Sable was THE reason why the women’s belt cameback. And she was more entertaining than all of the current divas combined. Debra and
The Kat won the belt in a gimmick match which made it believable. Nothing is believable in the current divas division.
at 2:26 am
If WWE brings in more indy/fcw/nxt girls they could pull off having both belts easily. Creative would just need to step up. If you ask me i would let females who are the age of 20 come up to the main shows. That way they would have fresh young talent to work with and build up to eventually give them a title run.
But, I would seperate the girls into two different classes. Womens belt being higher rank, and the ‘Divas’ belt being lower but still talented.
Womens league:
Beth Pheonix, Natalya, Naomi, Kharma, SDR, Paige, Eve, Tamina, Buggy Nova, Victoria, Cheerleader Melissa, Audrey Marie (as a heel), Michelle.
Divas league:
Cameron, Jillian, Ashley (with training), Alicia Fox, Summer Rae, Kaitlyn, Bellas, Aj, Tenille, Taylor Hendrix, Charrolet (ric flairs daughter), Velvet Sky.
Both:
Layla, Maryse, Melina, Naomi.
Of coarse, there probably wouldn’t that much girls at one time but still! At the time it was a good choice they took away the womens belt. Too many girls weren’t good enough for it.

LOL! How did AJ of people ended up in the Diva’s league? She’s clearly by far the diva after Natalya and Beth Phoenix. She never botches, always solid and can sometimes make her opponents better. The rest are basically in the diva’s league.
Women’s league: Beth, Nattie and AJ. Period.

WOW. (how did i know i would get shit from that?) LOL i put Aj in the divas league because she is TINY. it would be weird to see aj hold the womans belt. that belt is bigger than it looks. its probably bigger than her. all the people who held that belt were bigger that her. Lita, trish, jazz, gail, michelle, layla, melina, mickie, sable,…it would just be weird. Aj is a huge talent talent with nattie and beth, but she would have to defend the belt right? seeing her beat all theese people who trump her in size, it would be like Kelly vs Beth 2.0. except aj has 100,000,x the talent as kelly. but…really?

Even I don’t agree with Flash1086 opinion upon having only these three in the womens league, I must say that you forgot that “the kat” which was as tiny held the womens championship aswell and that without having even a clue about wrestling at all.
So size doesn’t really matter on who would have which belt but rather experience and talent.

Of course, the women who held the Women’s Championship during the Golden Era until 124 lb Mickie & 123 lb Melina were, except for 125 lb Gail, all at least Natalya’s weight. Mickie & Melina were told, early in their careers, that they were “too small” to make it in the WWE Women’s Division. Even 131 lb Eve would have been one of the smaller girls during the Golden Era. It was a Big Girls Club…
Candice Michelle: 130 lbs
Ivory: 135 lbs
Jacqueline Moore: 130 lbs
Jazz: 148 lbs
Lita: 135 lbs
Molly Holly: 140 lbs
Stacy Keibler: 136 lbs
Torrie Wilson: 133 lbs
Trish Stratus: 135 lbs
Victoria: 155 lbs
When you watch Beth’s Raw debut match from 2006, where she’s in the ring with Trish, Torrie, Victoria, Candice, & Mickie, you notice Beth doesn’t look that much bigger than the other women except for Mickie, who looks like AJ, this tiny girl skipping around.
Now, we’ve got 107 lb AJ, 108 lb Kelly, 115 lb Layla, etc.
