Could WWE’s main roster become home to mid-card championships for the women of the company? The Undertaker certainly hopes so.
While the Intercontinental and United States Championships have been staples in WWE for decades, mid-card gold has been absent throughout the promotion’s history. On a recent edition of his Six Feet Under podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer gave his support to mid-card gold for the female roster.
“The division [is] deep. I would like to see a Women’s Intercontinental Champion, and possibly, because there are two brands, a Women’s US Champion.”
The Undertaker isn’t the first WWE name to speak in favor of a women’s mid-card championship. In 2022, Dana Brooke (now TNA’s Ash By Elegance) said that during her tenure with the 24/7 Championship, she hoped to transition the gold into a women’s Intercontinental Championship. While Brooke believed the change would motivate women outside the main title picture to strive for something, the idea never got off the ground.
WWE will launch its first women’s mid-card title later this year with the NXT North American Women’s Championship. The historic new title was first introduced during NXT Stand & Deliver in April 2024 by NXT General Manager Ava. There’s currently no word on how and when the inaugural champion will be crowned.
Though WWE hasn’t (currently) got a women’s mid-card championship, the same can’t be said for their main rival. AEW introduced its TBS Championship in January 2022 with Jade Cargill beating Ruby Soho to become the first champion. Ironically, Cargill currently works for WWE, so could become a Women’s mid-card champion again if the promotion follows the words of The Undertaker.
