White straps really do change everything because this is super fucking nice looking. Given the choice of words Aldis used, it looks Pearce will do the same for Raw but the IC title obviously.

Would really like to see Naomi take this though I can see a world where Charlotte wins it too.​

I don't mind this at all especially with the amount of women on the roster.

Wonder if there will be a Women's IC title or just letting the champ appear on both shows.

I think the IC gets brought in too. Between Aldis' just mentioning the SmackDown women and both shows reportedly moving back to 3 hours in January, I think you have room for both.

So funny there was just a discussion about a women’s midcard title in another thread.

They definitely have the roster and time for it. Let’s just hope it’s booked well.

Naomi or Michin for 1st Champ

I'd love Michin to get some shine, I just don't think she's big enough to be the first champion unfortunately.

Imo I think if you're going to have these sets of titles, they should be defended either weekly of semi-weekly, primarily as a workhorse gauntlet type of championship. WWE can then use them to build up stars to prepare for the main event or otherwise move onto other divisions.

15 minute time limit title defense on TV can prove to be a big big win. You don't even need to include the title in angles or storylines to mean something.

Naomi is the most obvious answer but I have a feeling they’re gonna do something similar to what they did with the Women’s North American Championship.

I don’t think anyone predicted Kelani Jordan to be the first Champion. So I think Michin has a shot

Will they be able to fit it in between the ads, entrances that straddle ad breaks, recaps, and other fat that's plagued WWE TV for the past decade?

I wouldn't be mad at it at all i'd be happy with either of them winning it though I think it's perfectly set up for Naomi.

For sure I have a soft spot for Chelsea winning this. She's not the greatest Wrestler but she has tons of personality and to me that goes a long way as she improves inside the Ring. Charlotte and Tiffany were made for that Championship it would fit them so well as well.

Natayla said something on X hinting she wanted the US title, she is on Raw I think.

They should theoretically have room for one on each show and tbh I think the women's tag titles being floating hurts more than helps bc it's like neither show really has solid plans bc they just appear on whoever is convenient. Their women's booking needs to improve to really make it work but personally I think one on each show should be a goal
