10 Times WWE Totally BOTCHED A New Title

It’s strange to say that a title was doomed from the jump because of the name and design, but that’s kind of the case with the WWE Divas Championship.

Created in 2008 as a SmackDown exclusive title for the blue brand divas, the championship was meant to be a counterweight to Raw’s WWE Women’s Championship. But really, the Women’s Championship had more than 50 years of history to it (off and on), while the Divas title was this butterfly design with a silly name.

Just two years later, it would become the only title for a women’s division that would see its TV time shrink, match time evaporate, and storylines fall far short of expectations. The Divas Championship would be ushered out of WWE in 2016, less than a year after the “Women’s Revolution” reshaped the company’s women’s division.

Bad name, bad design, bad memories. This is one title that wasn’t entirely terrible, but also has a lot going against it in the aftermath.
