Introduced by WWE Hall of Famer Lita on the WrestleMania 32 Kickoff, the WWE Women’s Championship ushered in a new era of female competitors who are making their mark on the sports-entertainment industry. 

Modeled after the WWE World Championship, the WWE Women’s Title contains 283 stones positioned on a striking, white leather strap and a sleek, metallic recreation of WWE’s logo, which was constructed with assistance from Orange County Choppers of "American Chopper" fame.

Along with the title's introduction came the announcement that WWE's female athletes would be known as "Superstars" — a status deserving of their history of extraordinary accomplishments.

The title was renamed the Raw Women’s Championship following the 2016 WWE Brand Extension Draft.

On the June 9, 2023 edition of SmackDown, the title was reverted back to the WWE Women's Championship name.
