Current IMPACT star and former WWE Women's Champion Mickie James claimed she prefers the old women's title to the Divas Championship.

James is considered a six-time WWE Women's Champion, with one of the reigns coming as the Divas Champion. After working in the industry for over two decades, she recently revealed that her wrestling career would end once she lost her next match.

Fellow IMPACT star Maria Kanellis recently made headlines as she wanted WWE to bring back the Divas Championship. James shared her thoughts on the matter and said she would prefer the old Women's Title to make a return instead.

"Personally. I prefer the OG Women’s Championship. Nothing is prettier. The women who held that championship were legends, Icons, History makers, Game changers. Ceiling breakers, todays road pavers. This one. Not so much," Mickie James tweeted.
