#2 The reason behind WWE changing the name of the NXT Women's title

The NXT Women's Championship will now be called the NXT Championship, similar to the men's title. It was initially revealed that the company made the change to remove any gender-specific designation for the title.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

Tom Colohue revealed in his video that the company wants the fans to consider the NXT Women's title as a world championship, just like the men's NXT Championship.

Tessa Blanchard becoming the first woman to win the Impact Wrestling World Championship from Sami Callihan may have also played a big role in WWE sanctioning the alteration of the name

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.
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.
