Maria Kanellis wants to bring back the Divas Championship. The title was retired at WrestleMania 32 when Charlotte Flair won the new WWE Women’s Championship.
When asked on Twitter recently, Kanellis said the one thing she would change about the Women’s Evolution is to bring back the now-retired title.
I’d bring back the Divas title. https://t.co/Dl64nzfRLZ

Kanellis would explain her position in later Tweets.
“There are few people that truly understand what the Divas title was supposed to be,” she continued. “It was supposed to be another title to fight for, just like there are today, not the only title. But people criticize that don’t understand and that’s just ignorance.”
Maria Kanellis and the Divas Championship
This isn’t the first time this summer that Maria has jumped to defend the term “Diva”. After Charlotte used the term to demean Carmella on a recent episode of Smackdown, Maria issued a warning to the current Smackdown Women’s Champion.
“Real Diva. Be careful disparaging the women that fought for what you are getting,” Maria wrote on IG. “Experience is more of a bitch then entitlement ever will be.”
Maria continued to talk about the Divas era of Women’s Wrestling in WWE. She might be looking to build a future angle or she might be expressing her real opinion. As she is a “Paul Heyman Girl”, she’s likely doing both.
“We were in the trenches together in full makeup, dresses, and heels every day, every show,” she continued. “Still fighting with babies, careers, husbands, and a stigma. Is it better to fight for the system or the spot?”
