History

Inaugural champion Riho

On June 18, 2019, six months after the American

Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes that the AEW Women's World Championship belt would be unveiled on August 31 at All Out,[6] and that the first champion would be crowned on October 2 during the inaugural broadcast of AEW's weekly television show, later revealed as Dynamite.[7][8][9]

Both participants for the inaugural championship match were determined at All Out. The first competitor was determined by the women's Casino Battle Royale during the Buy In pre-show, which was won by Nyla Rose. Later that night on the main show, Riho became her opponent by defeating Hikaru Shida.[10] On the premiere episode of Dynamite, Riho defeated Rose to become the inaugural champion.[11]

At

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., Jamie Hayter, and Hikaru Shida to become the interim champion.[12] At Full Gear on November 19, Hayter defeated Storm to win the interim championship.[13] However, on the November 23 episode of Dynamite, it was announced that Rosa had relinquished the lineal championship, thus Hayter became the official champion by default and Storm's interim reign was retroactively made an official reign.[14]

Belt design

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.
, with the 2021–2022 version of the championship belt

The original AEW Women's World Championship belt had a small oval shaped center plate. There were a total of six side plates, three on each side of the center plate. The top of the center plate had a crown and ornamentation lined the edge of the center plate. At the very center of the plate was a name plate to display the reigning champion's name. Above the name plate was AEW's logo while below the name plate read "Women's World Wrestling Champion". The side plates had a globe at the center with filigree around the globe. The plates were gold and nickel and were on a black leather strap.[10]

On the May 28, 2021, Friday night special airing of Dynamite, reigning champion Hikaru Shida was awarded with a slightly updated championship belt. The updated belt featured the overall same design, but was slightly bigger with extra encrusted diamonds and extra gold plating, and it only had two side plates on each side of the center plate instead of three.[15] The unveiling of this updated design was to commemorate Shida's reign of 370 days, which at the time was the longest reign for any AEW championship (this record would be broken by Jade Cargill with the AEW TBS Championship in January 2023).[16] Shida, however, would lose the title just two days later at Double or Nothing to Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.[17]
