If Steph is making the announcement, then there's a 97% chance that it's "The Historic First Ever Women's *insert thing here* In History" like it usually is with her these days. My guess is they're announcing a set of Women's tag team titles, to drag out this Sasha/Bayley storyline even longer and make it even more insufferable.

Some stupid bullshit that no one will care about.

Fuck that makes so much sense god fucking damn it it's awful. I'm actually glad I work on Sundays and Mondays now so I can't watch it. I'd rather listen to f4w just recap and complain.

All womens PPV, which I wouldnt mind at all if they did good things with them on the shows. But they dont, so lets hope they do something good now

He was kicked out of the corporation right before the ppv, case gets lifted, and then they immediately welcome him back in. The one time they don't spell it out for you in painful detail no one gets it.

After watching WWE for so long, you eventually learn to lower your standards and always expect the worst outcome. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong and it's actually something interesting. But it's better to dream small and be pleasantly surprised every once in a while than to dream big and be sorely disappointed most of the time.

Ill be honest in that I really dont have much knowledge on the situation. I just wanted to make a stupid joke.

Just let me make the joke dammit.

They already had Women's Tag titles though. The Glamour Girls held it for along time.

They also already had a Cruiserweight Championship in the past, but they still called TJ Perkins the "first ever WWE Cruiserweight Champion" when he won the CWC a couple years ago. In WWE's mind, if it happened more than a couple of years ago, the don't expect most of their fans to remember it and can claim it never happened.

That was the light heavyweight. The cruiserweight they had was WCWs

Don't give them a hard time. I've been watching for 30+ years and the title situation in the WWE is fucking insane. It's so idiotic how many title lineages they have now

But they still re-named it the WWE Cruiserweight Championship and had it like that for 5-6 years (until it was retired with Hornswoggle of all people being the last champion)

I can see both. Have a tournament leading up to the "First ever all-woman PPV", where the main event will crown the "first ever women's tag champions"

I'm sorry, but all this makes me think of is the "Finkle is Einhorn" scene from Ace Ventura.

Light Heavyweight was unified with the Crusierweight after the WWF won the InVasion.

Cruiserweights were then on SD with the brand split (most of the women went to RAW).

WWE is so fucking boring now, I expect nothing.

Looks like the announcement has been leaked. Obviously there's major spoilers below if it turns out to be true.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/90q9pt/spoilers_mondays_announcement_on_raw/

For those unaware, I have been involved in belts 20+ years. I've bought, sold, traded ring used belts, and I occasionally make belts. I DO NOT MAKE BELTS NOR WORK FOR WWE. I have numerous sources within and outside the company.

I have given inside information on belts for nearly every company since joining this subreddit.

That being said: As I posted here 4 months ago, the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship belts are DONE and will be part of the announcement Stephanie McMahon is giving on RAW.

The Women's belts are very similar to the men's tag belts, but on white leather. The WWE logo is much larger and prominent in the design. Also the male gladiator helmets are more feminine. There is a fan creation from the WWE 2k18 video game that was made in March that is very close to how they look. I posted this picture on Twitter yesterday, with the above information to give a quick visual representation. Numerous people do not read and simply posted the picture as "this is the belt according to Dan", which is totally false.

My sources say the belts will be defended between brands. One source says just RAW and Smackdown, another source says there will be occasional NXT involvement.

The other part of the announcement is supposedly the all-women's PPV. Mike Johnson of PWInsider posted this yesterday saying a hypothetical date would be September 30th, Nassau Coliseum. My source said it's not set in stone. They really want it in October to tie into the Breast Cancer Awareness month aspect of marketing. They also said "NYC". WWE considers Nassau Coliseum NYC, so everything Mike said could be true. They could use the Sept. 30th date as a "kick off" event.

How credible is it? Doesn't sound implausible at least.

wrestling is fake

Sounds like just over-hype to me like they always do.

However, assuming it is something new.

It would probably be related to the women's division.

Based on the comments in that Reddit thread I linked to, very credible. He's one of the top sellers and collectors of wrestling belts, whether they're ring-used, custom, or otherwise. Most of the other users seem to vouch for him. This is the guy's Twitter account, seems really legit:

https://twitter.com/BeltFanDan

He also reported that the 205 Live Cruiserweight Tag Team titles are already made and ready to introduce, and Women's/Tag belts for the NXT UK division are in progress. The only thing out of his control (obviously) is if WWE decides to scrap the idea and never introduce the belts at all. He's mentioned in the past that WWE toyed with the idea of ECW Tag Team titles in 2007, but ECW and Smackdown had a talent exchange instead and SD's tag team belts made it redundant.
