Before making the big reveal, Lita took the audience on a journey from the beginnings of the division to the Divas Revolution, making the case for the women to no longer be considered just Divas, but WWE Superstars.
The rumored rebranding of the division was implicit in Lita’s speech, which sought to elevate the Divas beyond the tired stereotypes and treat them as competitors equal to men.
What do you think of the new belt?
