Charlotte Wants to Bring Back “Women’s Championship”

Charlotte is defending the WWE Divas Championship against both Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks at Wrestlemania in less than eleven days. However, if she had her way, she’d be defending something different.

Recently, she spoke with USA Today High School Sports to promote Wrestlemania 32 and “Girls Sports Month.” During that interview, she discussed her first Wrestlemania and how she would prefer the return of the WWE Women’s Championship.

Why do you think the Divas championship should return to being called the Women’s championship? 

“It’s an honor having the Divas championship and there is lots of history behind the Divas championship. I look at it as a new beginning for women’s wrestling so let’s have a new title. While I’m honored to have the Divas championship, this is 2016 — Let’s make it the women’s championship. But I will be privileged to represent women’s wrestling with a women’s championship or the Divas championship.”

Can you explain the excitement of going into your first Wrestlemania match? 

“It’s giving my goosebumps just thinking about it. I really hope with all the hard work that all the women have done in the last few months that WrestleMania is a huge payoff for us. I’m hoping we’ll get the time and be able to show the world on the grandest stage that we’re not divas, we’re superstars. This is an opportunity to treat women as women at WrestleMania and we’re going to steal the show. I don’t even know the right words here, but we’re going to be highlighted on something on that level with the largest crowd ever and people all over the world watching us. It’s amazing how far women have come.”
