One thing that was missing during the Attitude Era was the WWE Women's title belt. The story behind this absence is an interesting take on how WCW embarrassed WWE on national television.
Madusa had recently switched from WWE to WCW. She showed up with the WWE Women's title and dropped the coveted championship belt inside a trash can on live TV.

The former Women's Champion was bashed by wrestling fans for years for going on with this act. Apparently, Bischoff had asked her to trash the belt in one of the most infamous moments in wrestling history. She stated that she had to do what Bischoff had ordered, or else she would have been fired.
After this incident, the Women's title was retired from WWE, and came back years later. The Women's title is one of the most coveted belts in WWE at the moment, but that doesn't deter the fact that it was once shamed beyond repair on live TV.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
