That instead of competing to be the best man or woman, everyone should be competing to be the best professional wrestler in WWE. She added that with all the history that the women in WWE have made, gender "shouldn't be an issue at this point."

Becky said: "I think the best thing for the women's division right now is we eliminate the term 'women.' I think it’s now certain to hold us back.

We need people looking for the main event spot, not the top women’s spot. The top spot. What are people doing to be the main event…It (gender) shouldn’t be an issue at this point. We're past all the making history, we’ve made all the history."

The decision was made to make the remove the gender-specific designation of the championship."

Johnson also noted he does not currently know if the women's championships on the main roster will be renamed.
