WWE personality believes that the creation of a women’s United States title was “needed”

During his podcast, WWE announcer and personality Booker T commented on the creation of a women’s United States title…

“It’s needed. It gives the show that extra layer. It gives the women something to actually compete for. It shows how you can move up the ladder as opposed to having two tiers and that’s it. I think opening that up just a little bit more makes a whole lot more sense for the business.

One thing about this business, you’re always fighting for a championship. That’s the thing. You want to win a championship. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the world title when you first win a championship. You’re just happy when you win that first one, like for me, the Television Championship. I’m like, I’m in. I have a chip in the game. I’m doing something right. That’s what it told me. Even though it was the title at the lowest tier, so to speak, it let me know that I was in the game. I think these girls need that just as well to make them feel like they are moving up.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
