You never know what might happen in the world of professional, and there was a lot of anticipation heading into Friday night as Nick Aldis announced ahead of SmackDown that a historic announcement would be made, which immediately resulted in a lot of speculation among fans.

WWE later posted a video of Nick Aldis praising the women’s division for redefining success, and pushing to leave a legacy. Aldis then introduced the WWE Women’s United States Championship.
The SmackDown General Manager said that the title will not be awarded, it will be earned by whoever is willing to seize the moment. He finished by saying that opportunity knocks, and it’s time for the women’s division to answer as they make history.
