Drew McIntyre says the addition of a women's midcard title would be justified.
Fans continue to buzz about the possibility of WWE adding a midcard title to the women's division, especially since NXT introduced the NXT Women's North American Championship. PWN and Fightful Select have reported that WWE had discussed the idea.
Speaking with Fox News Digital, Drew McIntyre commented on the possibility and said that it was absolutely justified.
"That’s certainly something that’s going to come around in the near future. You don’t just bring titles in for the sake of bringing titles (especially) if you don’t have the adequate depth on the roster. But now, to watch just how far the women’s revolution has come – the revolution is such a distant memory now. The women have been killing it for years now," McIntyre said.
McIntyre continued by noting that the women's division has grown a lot, and the talent have been killing it. He noted that the roster has grown as well, and the stars are connecting with the fans. McIntyre reiterated that the addition of a title would be justified.
"They got that opportunity years and years ago, and since then, we’ve had so many people come in, and it’s gotten to a point where it’s not a case of you want to be after any women’s matches, you do not want to be after the women’s match anymore because they’re going to go out there, they’re going to kill it, the crowd are going to be burnt out, and you’re going to have to work really hard to get them. To watch the talent pool grow, the roster depth grow, and the characters, more importantly, connect with the audience, because if they don’t care about you, it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman, nobody’s emotionally attached to you. You might as well just sit in the back and not go out there. There’s so many characters the women’s division has gotten over now. We’re at a point where if there’s a second title introduced, it’s absolutely justified," McIntyre said.
