Wrestlemania 40 marks a significant milestone for WWE, poised to be one of the most monumental Mania events to date. However, there’s a specific addition that could elevate this Mania from top-heavy to captivating across the board: the introduction of the first-ever women’s Midcard single title match. This long-overdue inclusion would not only engage the crowd but also showcase the depth and talent of the women’s roster.

With the current lineup of women athletes, there has never been a better time to introduce such a title. WWE has a plethora of options, from heralding the arrival of new talents like Jade Cargill, to providing opportunities for rising stars from NXT such as Lola Vice, Zoey Stark, Ivy Nile, Tiffany Stratton, and Roxanne Perez. Furthermore, the title could serve as a career-defining moment for veterans waiting for their big break, including Raquel, Michin, Dakota Kai, Zelina Vega, Xia Li, Sonya Deville, Indi Hartwell, and Tegan Nox.

Moreover, the title could reignite the careers of seasoned performers like Tamina, Naomi, Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, and Shayna, or solidify legacies for established stars like Becky Lynch, Natalya, Bianca, and Charlotte. The timing couldn’t be more perfect; aside from an Evolution 2 PPV, there’s no better occasion to unveil this title.

The women of WWE deserve this opportunity, as do the passionate fans of women’s wrestling. In addition, with AEW reportedly on the verge of signing Mercedes Mone, her imminent arrival underscores the competitive landscape. Regardless of one’s affinity for Mercedes, her undeniable drawing power cements her status as one of the greatest women’s wrestlers in history. Her addition to an already robust and evolving women’s roster in AEW highlights the need for WWE to match this momentum for the women. Introducing the women’s Midcard title could be the perfect response, aligning with the heightened energy and expectations surrounding women’s wrestling. It’s a decision that’s not only ‘best for business’ but also for the morale and satisfaction of the women’s locker room. With the level of competition rising across the board, the moment is ripe for WWE to seize this opportunity.

With all the changes happening within WWE, and some of the changes that might be occurring with title holders soon, WWE is truly entering a new era. In this transformative phase, the introduction of new yet long overdue titles could signify a bold step forward. It’s a testament to WWE’s commitment to evolving with the times and meeting the demands of its ever-growing fan base.

Will WWE capitalize on this momentous occasion? Only time will tell.
