Now if only they would acknowledge the tag belts to be traced back to the 1971 titles, and not the Smackdown titles.

Good move. But at the end of the day, it's still going to come down to booking and the women getting sufficient time.
And I doubt the term Diva is going away completely. I'm sure WWE will still want Total Divas as long as E! wants to air it.

I was under the impression from the way PWInsider was talking about it that the new belt would be a smaller version of the World Heavyweight Championship (Big Gold Belt) and not a smaller version of the current WWE Title. Wonderful either way.

with the new belt will this become another completely new lineage? I'd hope they keep the lineage of the Divas title, it's a fairly good representation of the Divas of the late 2000s-2010s: Michelle McCool, Maryse, Mickie James, Jillian, Melina, Eve, Alicia Fox, Natalya, Brie Bella, Kelly Kelly, Beth Phoenix, Nikki Bella, Layla, Kaitlyn, AJ Lee, Paige and Charlotte Not a non-wrestling Diva or 28 year title run in sight!! And there are some currently active Divas, i.e. Alicia and Natalya (most likely) will never get the title again so it'd be good to keep them in the current lineage. And out of all of those names, the only "bad" one was Kelly Kelly, and she was never really pushed all that strongly, despite being the supposed "face" of the Division during her run.

So if this is to replace the Divas title, that's pretty much a certainty that Charlotte is losing right? Otherwise would she just start a second reign as the first WWE Women's champion?

She could always retire the Divas' belt because it is "beneath" her and none of those previous title holders deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as her. Then she loses via rollup to Bayley.

I would agree and I don't think her title run was all that memorable either, but in a post-Mickie James WWE, no one could touch Kelly it seemed when it came to audience reaction.

This would be far from the first time in wrestling history that the name of a championship was changed while still maintaining the linage.

We'll know it's for certain if falconarrow mentions a "big" segment with the women wrestlers happening on Raw on Reddit next Monday morning.

Fine with me if this is true, but I don't even remember what track record Sescoops has.

So, the new belt is going to look like this: Maybe it's my eyes, ot because I'm looking at it in my phone, or maybe it's because it's on that red liner, but I can't tell if that's a light pink strap or a white strap. EDIT: Somehow, after I posted that, it really became clear that it's pink. Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

So, the new belt is going to look like this: If that's how it's going to look, the only concern I'd have is that the medallion part needs a background. The WWE logo kinda gets lost in the lightness of the leather, and doesn't look as good as it does on the black leather.

So, the new belt is going to look like this: I hate to be that guy but you know the scratch logo is a dead giveaway to this being fake right. The only thing I heard so far was a new belt for the Divas championship.

Does this also mean that Team Bad and Blonde or whatever they were calling that will beat Team Total Divas? Hm.

The belt absolutely needed to be changed but there was no real problem with the actual word "Divas" in general. Every use of the word "Diva" I've ever heard outside of WWE (ignoring classical definitions) either is a synonym for drama queen, or bitch. If they're taking it seriously, then not basically saying "and now the bitches" every week is a good start.
