The titles were designed to be defended exclusively on the Evolve brand, offering more opportunities for WWE rookie talent, giving them increased exposure and opportunities.During the Evolve tapings on April 25, Kali Armstrong became the inaugural champion by defeating Wendy Choo, Kendal Grey, and Kylie Rae, who she last eliminated, in a fatal four-way elimination match; the episode aired on tape delay on May 28, which is the date WWE officially recognizes. The Evolve Women's Championship became the first Evolve championship to be defended on the NXT brand on the July 15 episode of NXT, where Armstrong defeated Karmen Petrovic by disqualification after interference from Jordynne Grace.
