10 Things That’d RUIN WWE’s 2024

7. WWE Adds A Midcard Women’s Belt

Speaking of Intercontinental Titles - WWE's women might be getting one soon.

NXT has already added the Women's North American belt to their trophy cabinet, and that makes sense due to the show's standing as a developmental brand. There's room to experiment down there, but less so on Raw and SmackDown where the pressure is on and people scrutinise every minor detail.

Adding more belts is not the solution here, and feuds over meaningless titles wouldn’t be as awesome as actual stories with purpose. There, that's the issue with chucking random straps at fans willy nilly in a nutshell. For example, would there be any clamour to see Zoey Stark (for example) rival Natalya for the Women's IC or US Titles?

AEW has shown how quickly titles can fall by the wayside and become largely meaningless. Surely WWE can come up with interesting stories outside the championship picture on both top brands without resorting to adding more gold? It's a must.
