Since the women's division on the main roster only has two championships to contend for, compared to the men's division's four, there have long been aspirations for an extra women's championship in the WWE. WWE announced the new Women's United States Championship on tonight's SmackDown, fulfilling a long-standing desire for a women's title similar to the Intercontinental Championship or the United States Championship (as was recently done in NXT).
Although his remarks that it must be earned hint at a competition, Aldis has not yet disclosed the method by which the first winner would be chosen. Including both Raw and SmackDown would also make sense because the tournament may alternate between shows and end in a major matchup. Additionally, if WWE decides it does not want to announce the new Champion on Raw or SmackDown, it may conduct several qualifying contests before a final match at the forthcoming Survivor Series. This makes the timing ideal.

I’m excited for more opportunities for the women. At the same time, champs like Liv barely defend their titles as it stands. The women’s tag titles have also lacked prestige
