5 WWE titles that were retired (and why they will never return)

#1 Divas Championship (2008-2016)

Why did WWE retire the Divas Championship?

WWE referred to its male talent as “Superstars” and female talent as “Divas” for several years. However, in April 2016, the company decided to stop calling women “Divas” and began calling them “Superstars”, just like the men, instead.

As a result, WWE Hall of Famer Lita unveiled the new Women’s Championship before the WrestleMania 32 Triple Threat match between Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks and Divas champion Charlotte Flair.

Why will the Divas Championship never return?

The Divas Revolution/Women’s Evolution has evolved to such an extent that there are now four female singles titles in WWE (the Raw Women’s Championship, SmackDown Women’s Championship, NXT Women’s Championship and NXT UK Women’s Championship), while the Women’s Tag Team Championship was introduced in February 2019.

With so many titles in WWE these days, plus the fact that the company no longer refers to its women as “Divas”, there is no way that the Divas Championship will return.
