WrestleMania 32 ushered in a new era for the WWE women's division. In 2008, WWE created the Divas Championship as a second women's title alongside the WWE Women's title. The titles were later unified in 2010, with the Divas Championship becoming the only women's title to compete for in the company.

Many fans of WWE had been critical of the company's treatment of women, and the use of the term "Divas" to describe them. This, partnered up with the #GiveDivasAChance movement on Twitter, prompted WWE to make changes. Women finally began to get more screentime, and multiple stars were called up from NXT.

At WrestleMania 32, Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch were set to fight it out in a Triple Threat match for the Divas Championship. However, at the start of the show, Hall of Famer Lita appeared.

She revealed that the Divas Championship was to be retired and replaced with a new Women's title which would be on the line for the first time that night.

In the announcement, Lita also noted that the term "Divas" would be retired, and that from now on they would be referred to as Superstars, just like the male members of the roster. That night at WrestleMania 32, Charlotte Flair became the inaugural WWE Women's Champion.
