As we noted before, WWE is looking to introduce more titles in the women’s division. They recently introduced the NXT UK Women’s Championship as well.
More titles in the women’s division could be introduced following the introduction of the NXT UK Women’s Championship.
There was speculation that a mid-card title like the Intercontinental Championship could be introduced soon on RAW and SmackDown Live in the women’s division, but that looks unlikely now.
However, the rumored Women’s Tag Team Championship belts might be introduced by the start of next year.
According to the Fired Up podcast, WWE is planning a bring back a retired championship. It could either be the Hardcore Championship or the European Championship.
It was also noted that WWE might be introducing another new title in their developmental brand, NXT.
