Daniel Bryan reveals WWE is creating a second women's championship
Monday Night Raw currently has a large championship belt advantage over SmackDown, and the gap is only going to increase later this month at SummerSlam when either Seth Rollins or Finn Balor wins the new Universal Championship - but SmackDown is creating a new belt of its own.
During an interview on the Bear Hug It Out podcast Tuesday, SmackDown general manager Daniel Bryan revealed that newly crowned WWE Women's Champion Sasha Banks soon won't be the only female wrestler with a title belt, and threw a bit of shade at Raw's new heavyweight championship.

Becky Lynch is the clear lead female wrestler on SmackDown and has been left in a bit of an awkward position with the championship remaining on Raw, but she'll be the favorite to win whatever SmackDown calls the second women's title. Aside from Natalya and Naomi, rest of the division is made up of relative newcomers - so Bryan may wait until the audience is familiar with the likes of Alexa Bliss and Carmella before a title feud kicks off.
