List of WWE Women's Champions
The WWE Women's Championship is a women's professional wrestling world championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE, defended on the SmackDown brand. It was introduced on April 3, 2016, at WrestleMania 32 to replace the WWE Divas Championship and has a unique title history separate from the original WWE Women's Championship. Following the reintroduction of the brand split in July 2016, the title became exclusive to Raw and was renamed as the Raw Women's Championship after SummerSlam in August 2016 when SmackDown created the SmackDown Women's Championship as a counterpart title. As a result of the 2023 WWE Draft, the championships switched brands. In June 2023, the Raw Women's Championship reverted to its original name of WWE Women's Championship while the SmackDown Women's Championship became the Women's World Championship.
The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. Jade Cargill is the current champion in her first reign. She defeated Tiffany Stratton at Saturday Night's Main Event on November 1, 2025 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
As of,, there have been 31 reigns between 14 champions. The first champion was Charlotte, who won the title at WrestleMania 32. She also has the most reigns with six. Bianca Belair's first reign is the longest at 420 days, while her second is the shortest at 1 minute, 35 seconds. Becky Lynch has the longest combined reign across her two reigns at 535 days. Two women in history have held the championship for a continuous reign of one year or more: Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair.
