Women's championships in WWE

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

WWF Women's Championship from 1956 to 1984, when it was originally known as the NWA World Women's Championship
.

The American

WWF Women's Championship, establishing their first women's world championship. Although the title preceded the company's creation, the WWF claimed a lineage that began in 1956. Whenever the WWE brand extension
has been implemented (2008–2010; 2016–present), separate women's championships have been created or allocated for each brand.

WWE currently promotes two singles championships on its main roster: the Women's World Championship on Raw and the WWE Women's Championship on SmackDown. WWE also promotes the NXT Women's Championship for WWE's developmental brand, NXT. The upcoming NXT Women's North American Championship was announced on April 6, 2024, at NXT Stand & Deliver. There is also a tag team championship, the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, which is defended across Raw, SmackDown, and NXT.

This article covers all women's championships contested in WWE throughout its history. WWE's two gender-neutral championships are also covered here, as women were eligible to challenge for them. This does not include the couple of rare exceptions of when a female wrestler challenged for and won a men's championship.

WWE Women's Championship (1956–2010)

Main article: WWE Women's Championship (1956–2010)

The original WWE Women's Championship was the first women's world championship of WWE. Its origins predate the company's creation. On September 18, 1956, The Fabulous Moolah became the third NWA World Women's Champion. Moolah had worked for the northeastern United States-based Capitol Wrestling Corporation (CWC), a member of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), since the previous year.[1] In 1963, CWC seceded from the NWA and established itself as the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF); it quietly rejoined the NWA in 1971. Moolah bought the rights to the championship in the 1970s and continued to defend the championship as the NWA World Women's Champion. The WWWF, renamed the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1979, withdrew from the NWA for good in 1983. Moolah then sold the championship's rights to the WWF in 1984, and she was recognized as the WWF Women's Champion.[2] Instead of beginning her reign in 1984, the WWF claimed the lineage of her reign from when she first became champion in 1956. The preceding champions and the title changes between 1956 and when Moolah lost it in 1984 are not recognized by WWE, although they are recognized by the NWA.[3] As a result, The Fabulous Moolah's first reign is considered to have lasted 28 years by the promotion.[4]

After the company was renamed to

Layla, although Michelle McCool had defended the title in her place in the unification match.[14][15]

WWE Divas Championship (2008–2016)

WWE Divas Champion Michelle McCool

The

WWE Divas, the term WWE had used at the time for the women's wrestlers. The inaugural champion was Michelle McCool.[7] The titles would switch brands after their respective title holders were drafted to the opposite brands in the 2009 WWE draft.[9] The following year at Night of Champions in September 2010, the Women's Championship was unified with the Divas Championship, creating the Unified WWE Divas Championship,[11] rendering the Women's Championship defunct as the unified title followed the lineage of the Divas Championship; shortly after, the title dropped the "unified" moniker and the first brand extension ended in August 2011.[14][15] The Divas Championship continued as the only women's championship of the main roster until 2016 when it was retired and replaced by a new WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania 32 in April that year. The final Divas Champion was Charlotte Flair, at the time known simply as Charlotte.[16][17][18]

The current WWE Women's Championship is the third women's world championship established by WWE and is currently the women's championship of the SmackDown brand. The title was unveiled at WrestleMania 32 in April 2016 to replace the Divas Championship. This came after the term "Diva" was scrutinized by some commentators, fans, and several past and present WWE female performers who were in favor of changing the championship to the Women's Championship. The division itself was also changed from being called the Divas division to being called the Women's division. This newer championship does not share its title history with the original WWE Women's Championship that was contested between 1956 and 2010. The inaugural champion was Charlotte Flair, who at the time simply went by Charlotte.[16][17][18]

Following the reintroduction of the brand extension in July 2016, reigning champion Charlotte Flair was

drafted to the Raw brand, making the championship exclusive to Raw. In response, SmackDown created the SmackDown Women's Championship as its counterpart. The WWE Women's Championship was subsequently renamed as the Raw Women's Championship to reflect its exclusivity to that brand.[25][26] As a result of the 2023 WWE Draft, the championships switched brands,[27] and the Raw Women's Championship reverted back to its original name of WWE Women's Championship on the June 9, 2023, episode of SmackDown.[28][29][30]

Women's World Championship (2016–present)

The Women's World Championship is the fourth women's world championship established by WWE and is currently the women's championship of the Raw brand. Originally introduced as the SmackDown Women's Championship, its creation came as a result of the reintroduction of the brand extension in July 2016, after reigning WWE Women's Champion Charlotte Flair was drafted to the Raw brand, making the championship exclusive to Raw and renamed to Raw Women's Championship. In response, SmackDown created the SmackDown Women's Championship on August 23, 2016. The inaugural champion was Becky Lynch.[25] As a result of the 2023 WWE Draft, the championships switched brands despite their namesakes.[27] The Raw Women's Championship reverted to its original name while the SmackDown Women's Championship was renamed as Women's World Championship on the June 12, 2023, episode of Raw.[31]
