Former WWE star Maria Kanellis would "love" to see the old Divas Title return someday.

Kanellis told 'Ring The Belle' that she has a hard time stomaching the negativity that hangs over the 'Diva' name like a cloud - she's proud of everything she achieved as part of that division, and was keen to note that the 'Diva' ranks produced top talents like Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, Victoria and Mickie James.

Fair point.

Maria also thinks it's slightly unfair that people disregard the work of those women because they were having shorter matches. That wasn't their fault; Phoenix, Victoria and company were totally capable of working longer bouts, but that wasn't the style WWE wanted from them at the time.

Kanellis wants to hold the Divas Title again so she can say, "Yes, I can be sexy. Yes, I can be strong. Yes, I can be intelligent. I can be all these things at once!".

Would you ever like to see the Divas Title return to WWE programming in the future? Or, do you think that it'd be a backwards step for the women's division overall?
