WWE Divas Comment on Vacant Women's Title

Sadly, Trish Stratus really is retired.

And while other WWE Divas mourn her loss, they also see an opportunity to seize the Women's Title. A tournament for the belt began on RAW this Monday. On WWE.com, various beautiful women spoke about what the championship would mean to them.

Once we were finished drooling over their WWE Diva pictures, we actually listened to what they had to say ...

Micke James: “All of the top women in the WWE have held the Women’s Championship ... I was really honored to hold it when I first won it from Trish at WrestleMania 22 (before losing it to Lita). It’s a huge honor to be crowned Women’s Champion and it is an honor I look forward to having again.

Lita: “I think a tournament is a great opportunity for the Divas to showcase their talent and to see competition that sometimes gets lost in the entertainment that the Divas also provide to the show.”

Torrie Wilson: “The championship embodies a woman who is strong, independent and all the things that I aspire to be."

Maria: “It’s a big deal. Men have more than one championship, but for women, there’s just one for all of us and it means a lot. It represents the cream of the crop, the top of all the WWE Divas.”

Victoria: “I think that I show women that they can be everything they want. They can be tough and strong and sexy because I am all of those things. Plus I have a college background, so I am not just some muscle head.”
