Booker T shares honest thoughts on WWE introducing a new Women's United States Championship 

Booker T shared his thoughts on the introduction of the Women's United States Championship recently. The new title was officially unveiled by Nick Aldis on SmackDown last week.

However, it won't be exclusive to the blue brand, as superstars on RAW can also challenge for the gold. WWE hasn't provided any information yet as to who can challenge for the title and when it will be on the line. Wrestling fans have been asking for a women's mid-card title for many years, and it finally came to fruition.

Speaking on the latest edition of the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T stated that he was happy WWE introduced the Women's US Title, and he thinks that it was needed.

“It’s needed. It gives the show that extra layer. It gives the women something to actually compete for. It shows how you can move up the ladder as opposed to having two tiers and that’s it. I think opening that up just a little bit more makes a whole lot more sense for the business. One thing about this business, you’re always fighting for a championship. That’s the thing. You want to win a championship," said Booker. (H/T - WrestlingNews.co)

Booker T reflects on winning the Television Championship in WCW

The wrestling veteran has won numerous titles in WWE and WCW. The WCW Television Championship was the first singles title that he won in his career.

Booker T recounted winning the belt to explain why a mid-card title was needed for the women.

"It doesn’t necessarily have to be the world title when you first win a championship. You’re just happy when you win that first one, like for me, the Television Championship. I’m like, I’m in. I have a chip in the game. I’m doing something right. That’s what it told me. Even though it was the title at the lowest tier, so to speak, it let me know that I was in the game. I think these girls need that just as well to make them feel like they are moving up," said Booker.

It'll be interesting to see which WWE star will make history by becoming the first-ever Women's United States Champion.
