As we reported yesterday here on eWn, there are rumors that WWE is planning new championships for the women’s division, including United States and Intercontinental titles. Dave Meltzer is reporting that the rumors of the two new belts are in fact true. One of the belts will be exclusive to RAW while the other will be exclusive to SmackDown.
On a media call prior to WWE NXT: Heatwave 2024, Shawn Michaels commented on the possibility of the NXT brand going on the road. He said,
“I think you always would love to kind of be out there all the time, but honestly, what is best -– what I believe for the product –- and I don’t know, at least for us right now, being in our home here in Orlando is, I think, fantastic. I can’t say that there’s anything that I see in the foreseeable future that would, you know, where you could make sense doing that and justify doing it when it comes to a certainly from an income standpoint, I think. That’s one of the great things I love about not being high level is I don’t have to think about that stuff and I get to focus on NXT. We’re thrilled about getting out there with the PLEs.“
