Clearly Brock needs to win the Rumble, challenge one of the women....absolutely destroy her and then pick up a mic and say "Suplex City doesnt see gender, bitch" and walk out. It will be greatest Mania moment ever. Real talk I'm totally game for Brock vs. Charlotte.

Soooo... I'm guessing they'll sign a trans-gender wrestler & be the first company to proclaim "We don't see gender. We see talent". And their P.R. department will pat themselves on the back for a while. And what exactly would be wrong with signing a transgender wrestler? I'll wait. Absolutely nothing at all. But if they do, I guarentee they will keep bringing it up every chance they get.

Sonya Deville is the first openly lesbian wrestler in WWE, they don't shove her out there saying "LOOK EVERYONE, WE HAVE LESBIANS! REAL LESBIANS THIS TIME!"

But IF they sign a trans-gender wrestler, I bet (and I can't believe I'm saying this) social media will put him/her on either a pedestal or a chopping block. Either way, the WWE benefits from it by giving them the attention.

Social media is already toxic about 90% of the wrestlers they have, another one with a different sexual orientation isn't going to shift that pendulum one way or the other.

This would've worked better if there was only one of each title. The men could have the World title while the women have the WWE title.

You know how people say Vince thinks the fans are stupid?
If you're confused by this...he's right.
There's zero reason why it's still being announced that "This...is a women's division match" before the competitors come out. If Io Shirai and Candice LeRae come out and start wrestling, I think it's pretty hugging obvious it's a women's division match.

Trust smarks to get outraged and start bleating about "snowflakes, SJW, etc" over their own total lack of comprehension and understanding. You only have to read the first page of this thread to see the usual suspects doing just that.
How so many people completely misunderstood Becky is beyond me, and I really should know better by now than to assume most people are intelligent. The fact that she actually had to write up a statement to further explain herself shows how many people are just looking for something to whine about. It was really simple the first time: allocate matches and segments based on skill rather than gender. That's all there is to it. But it shows just how many people rely on poorly reported dirtsheet articles over actually listening to what she said herself.
The fact that they're (allegedly) going to rename the "NXT Women's Championship" to just the "NXT Championship" has absolutely nothing to do with Becky herself, that's completely a management decision. Is it a sensible one (if true)? I really don't mind either way.
I agree with Becky that a personal pet peeve is the ring announcer still announcing "This is a Women's Division match", when they never announce "This is a Men's Division match". It makes no sense to do it for one but not the other, especially with the continued (double-standards) push to equality.

So the last paragraph in the OP is they are pitching the idea of saying “Men’s WWE Championship” and “Woman’s WWE Championship” to distinguish them. So all that’s happening is they are adding the word “Men’s” when distinguishing them? I am sure that won’t solve the problem because people will say there’s still a gender attached to them. lol

This whole women's movement in WWE is so forced,yes their talented and deserved better then what the past women's wrestlers got in bra and panties matches.But the fact remains that you can push them as equals in terms of standing with the male roster but they don't draw the same as the men do in terms of fan interest,drawing in fans to live shows,PPV's,Merch(yes Becky has sold a crap tone but basically from stealing "THE MAN" saying and gimmick)...ect
Why can't we just leave things alone and call them Women's Champion,whats so sexiest about that or degrading.Sorry to break the news but men and women will always be different,you know how god and nature made us.
Other thing that really bothers me is that the women want to have it both ways.Want to be treated as equals as the mean but then also want to be treated like a girl and get bothered about everything i.e. Triple H's lame joke about Paige for example.

This crap isn't going to last just like the 3rd hour of Raw with new graphics. Men have a penis Women have a vagina. This is the stupidest crap I heard this week.
