Booker T is advocating for the creation of an additional championship title specifically for female wrestlers within WWE. Despite the fact that women are given the opportunity to compete for the world championship of their respective brand, as well as for the tag team championship across both the main roster and NXT, there remains a notable absence of a mid-card title similar to the likes of the WWE United States Title, WWE Intercontinental Title, or NXT North American Title that is exclusively designated for women. ## Booker T's proposition highlights the importance of providing more opportunities and recognition for female wrestlers in WWE, which would further enhance the already impressive skill set and athleticism that these individuals possess. By introducing a mid-card title for women, WWE would not only showcase the incredible talent of these wrestlers but also solidify their status as a vital part of the industry. ## Ultimately, the creation of a new championship title for women in WWE would represent a significant step forward in the ongoing evolution of women's wrestling, which has made considerable strides in recent years towards achieving gender parity and recognition within the industry. ## "We should have a mid-card belt for the ladies, almost like a television championship where it’s not competing with the Women’s NXT Championship, just to give someone else a little bit of a rub, a little bit of shine, as well as a little bit of something to work for because it always gonna be a while before you work your way to that big goal," he told Fox News. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Several months ago, WrestlingNews.co first reported plans for two colossal championship matches at the forthcoming WWE WrestleMania 39. According to the report, the intention was to divide the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship eventually. ## At the previous WrestleMania 38, the Universal Champion Roman Reigns conquered WWE Champion Brock Lesnar to merge the titles. ## WrestlingNews.co's report highlighted that the initial blueprint for the first night of WrestleMania 39 was for either Cody Rhodes or Drew McIntyre to confront Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship, while Reigns would take on The Rock. However, WWE had to revise their plans as soon as they found out that The Rock would not partake in the match. ## This Monday, Triple H announced that a new World Heavyweight Champion would be crowned on May 27 at WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. Although unconfirmed, based on the hints dropped on Raw, it appears that Rollins is the leading contender to become the inaugural champion. ## According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that the inception of the decision to introduce a second top title belt dates back to WrestleMania 38. ## Meltzer wrote, “The idea of bringing back the second title dates back literally to when the titles were unified at the April 3, 2022, WrestleMania show in Dallas when Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar. We had been told before the match that the company felt it needed two titles, but also based on the Mania stipulation, it had to wait a certain length of time before creating the second one.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Steve Austin has expressed his desire to have grappled with the formidable Brock Lesnar, a feat that eluded him during his illustrious career. Despite having locked horns with some of the most illustrious names in the wrestling realm, such as The Rock, Bret Hart, Triple H, and Chris Jericho, Austin rues the missed opportunity to take on Lesnar, who has a fearsome reputation as a powerhouse wrestler. ## Austin revealed that he was slated to face Lesnar on a grand stage, but regrettably, creative differences prevented the bout from materializing. In a recent interview with WESH 2 news, Austin conveyed his disappointment at not having squared off against Lesnar, emphasizing that it was the one match that eluded him.## The prospect of a tussle between these two icons of the ring would have been an enthralling spectacle, fraught with suspense and anticipation. Alas, fate conspired to deny wrestling enthusiasts the chance to witness this epic encounter, leaving us to imagine what could have been. ## "That guy is Brock Lesnar. Way back in the day, I was scheduled to wrestle him in Atlanta at a television taping. The match wasn’t great as far as creative goes, so it never happened. That’s the match that got away. I have so much respect for Brock and watching him go through the evolution of becoming one of the best pros out there. To go into the MMA world and become a world champion. He’s had a heck of a journey and no one has had a career like his and his longevity has been supreme. Brock Lesnar would be my answer." ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

There is a possibility of a monumental spoiler regarding the upcoming WWE Draft and Roman Reigns. The highly acclaimed wrestler has been announced to be in the draft pool for the first night, which is scheduled to take place tonight on April 28, during the SmackDown event. Given Reigns' current standing on the roster, with him being the undisputed WWE Universal Champion and unbeaten for several years now, it would be nothing short of shocking if he isn't the first draft pick. ## However, a potential spoiler may lie in the fact that in previous years, due to Raw's longer airtime, it has always been granted the first pick in the draft. Raw requires a larger number of wrestlers on its roster compared to SmackDown, thus it is plausible that Reigns may end up on Raw, as SmackDown may not have the first pick. ## Nonetheless, it is still possible for Reigns to remain on SmackDown if certain events unfold. For instance, there could be an angle or trade that keeps him on the show, or WWE may choose to shock audiences by picking someone else first. Despite the potential ways for Reigns to remain on SmackDown, if we were to analyze the draft logically, it appears most likely that he will end up on Raw. ## If this prediction does become a reality, the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship would become exclusive to SmackDown, causing an uproar among fans and opening up new opportunities for drama and excitement in the wrestling world. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Meanwhile, Cora Jade's recent match on WWE Main Event, which was recorded prior to Raw, has earned her high praise and further fueled speculation regarding her imminent promotion. ## According to Bryan Alvarez, the promotion of several individuals that had been scheduled to occur on the Raw immediately following WrestleMania has been delayed until the upcoming WWE Draft.
