Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch recently suggested that
WWE should stop using gender specific language when referring to the Men’s and Women’s divisions while appearing on
WWE Backstage, and it looks like the company has taken notice - at least when it comes to the black and gold brand.
It's now been confirmed that the
NXT Women's Championship will be known as The
NXT Championship moving forward. That's all fine and good, but we already have an
NXT Championship around the waste of Adam Cole!
As The Man points out in the video below, there are a lot of valid reasons to make this change, but unless
WWE is planning to meld the divisions and allow inter-gender matches (not gonna happen), it doesn't really make a lot of sense.
It's unclear if
WWE plans on making similar changes on
Raw and
SmackDown, but we should get some updates pretty soon.
What do you guys make of this development? Let us know in the comments.
