#4. Hope isn't true: Reason behind the name change of the NXT Women's Championship

The NXT Champion

PWInsider recently reported that the NXT Women's Championship will be changed and known as just the "NXT Championship" going forward. The WWE on FOX Twitter account seemingly confirmed this.

Sportskeeda's own Tom Colohue revealed the reason why this change happened

Let's start with the NXT Women's Championship which will be henceforth known as the NXT Championship. There is, of course, already an NXT Championship, now there is going to be two and you will have context clues for which one's the men's and which one's the women's.

He revealed that Tessa Blanchard becoming the first Female Impact Wrestling World Champion was the reason why this change was made:

From what I'm hearing, with Impact Wrestling crowning it's first female World Champion, we're going to have a female World Champion in NXT as well, but she will just be a Champion and a World Champion and you'd have two World Champions. Of course, when you look through for example Wikipedia or keeping the history of these different wrestlers, you do see lists of Women's Championships, RAW Women's Championship, SmackDown Women's Championship, they want to make it clear that it's a world Championship.

We hope this isn't true because it seems like an unnecessary change. It's good to have different names for different titles and having no distinction doesn't seem to make much sense. It's important to keep the prestige of the Women's Championship up by valuing the name it holds.
