About This Championship

The WWE Raw Women’s Championship belt was the red brand version of WWE’s modern women’s world title, using the same “big logo” center plate style as the men’s top championships, with a white strap and a red-accented center. It existed under that name because WWE revived the Women’s Championship lineage on April 3, 2016 at WrestleMania 32, replacing the Divas Championship with a new WWE Women’s Championship meant to present the division as a true world-title level attraction.

When the brand split returned in 2016, Charlotte was drafted to Raw and the belt followed her, so WWE renamed it the Raw Women’s Championship on September 5, 2016 to clearly separate it from the new SmackDown women’s title.

Early on, the title was defined by Charlotte and Sasha Banks feud as they traded the championship several times in 2016, highlighted by their Hell in a Cell main event that showed WWE was willing to place the women’s title in a top closing spot.

Alexa Bliss and Bayley then carried the belt through the heart of the brand split era, and Ronda Rousey’s first reign gave it a mainstream spotlight as WWE built major pay-per-view programs around her aura and physicality.

Ronda Rousey’s first reign brought major attention and high-profile title matches, and Becky Lynch’s run after her 2018 rise turned into one of the most talked-about stretches of the era. At WrestleMania 35, Lynch pinned Rousey in a winner-take-all triple threat with Charlotte Flair, leaving the show holding both the Raw and SmackDown women’s championships at the same time, even though the titles stayed separate afterward.

On May 11, 2020, Becky Lynch announced her pregnancy and the championship was vacated in story, with Asuka receiving the title after winning the Money in the Bank match. Later, Bianca Belair’s long first reign set a modern standard for a sustained run with the belt.

The name “Raw Women’s Championship” ended after the 2023 WWE Draft when Bianca Belair moved to the SmackDown brand. When this happened, WWE reverted the title back to the original, WWE Women’s Championship name on the June 9, 2023 episode of SmackDown.
