Triple H Confirms Upcoming WWE Women's Tournament

01/20/2017 04:46 pm EST

For months we've heard rumblings that the WWE would look to hold a women's tournament in the same vein as the Cruiserweight Classic and UK Championship. In an interview snippet from the upcoming latest Wrestling Compadres Slamcast on FOX Sports, Triple H himself said the tournament is one of his big passions and he's going to make it a reality.

"[A women's tournament is] another of my big passions, but things are always changing. Raw and Smackdown split, NXT TakeOvers are attached to big four PPVs. We have to find the right time and space. The UK Tournament worked out in the small break before the Rumble. The women, we're hoping to do this summer. That's the plan. Like the cruisers, we want to search all over and expose talent to our audience."

So there you have it, everyone. Official confirmation, yet no hard date as of yet. Hopefully, the women who find a spot in the tournament will be incorporated into the WWE's top heavy women's divisions on both RAW and Smackdown.
