The WWE Women’s United States and Women’s Intercontinental Championships are two new titles that WWE recently added to its repertoire. Both titles have been formally claimed. First, Chelsea Green became the first WWE Women’s United States Champion after defeating Michin at the Main Event on Saturday night. Lyra Valkyria solidified her status as the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Champion a few weeks later. In a recent interview with the “Battleground Podcast,” Raquel Rodriguez, a WWE performer, discussed her thoughts on how these championships were introduced.
First and foremost, Rodriguez thinks they will increase awareness of the WWE women’s division. She also views them as stepping stones to additional WWE broadcast screen exposure. “Having these two new titles is really going to give more opportunities to more women who are training hard every day and just haven’t had that one chance to step into the front of the camera,” Rodriguez stated.
There will be more women who want to enter the woodworks now that we have these two additional titles to pursue and defend. I believe there will be many fresh female faces in the women’s division, and there will be many more opportunities to fall in love with different characters.
Since the Women’s Intercontinental Championship is only available through the “WWE Raw” brand, where Rodriguez presently resides, it is likely that she has her sights set on it. Last month, Valkyria defeated Dakota Kai in the tournament finals on “Raw” to win this title. Since then, she has not defended it.
Rodriguez continued by saying that the women’s division now has a strong sense of competition and excitement thanks to the introduction of these titles. The new championships provide players a chance to show off their abilities and leave a lasting legacy while also providing new chances for up-and-coming talents. For veterans like Rodriguez, it fosters an environment where everyone is inspired to put in more effort because they know they have more opportunities to shine on a worldwide platform. She further emphasised how this action promotes competition and diversity within the WWE brand by elevating the women’s division to a position that is equally significant and central to the men’s division.
