9 Ups And 11 Downs From WrestleMania 32
3. Goodbye Butterfly Belt
Oh thank God.
The rumors had been out there for a bit now that WWE was going to finally ditch the Divas Championship in favor of a new Womens Championship, but the company surprised many by making that bold move Sunday night. Hall of Famer Lita (an appropriate choice) spoke about the importance of past womens champions like Fabulous Moolah, Trish Stratus, Sensational Sherri and Alundra Blayze before unveiling the new title.
Regardless of what you might think of the new title design (which looks a lot like the mens championship with a white strap and red inset), getting rid of the godawful butterfly belt and abandoning the name Divas Championship in favor of Womens Championship is a smart move.
Its been six years since the original womens title was united with the Divas title and retired. Bringing it back at the biggest show of the year was another smart move. Kudos.
