Statistics

The IWE Women's Championship was a women's professional wrestling championship in the American promotion, International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE). The lineage of the Women's Championship dates back to September 18, 1956, when The Fabulous Moolah became the NWA World Women's Champion. IWE did not exist at that time, and although they did not create their own women's championship until 1984 with The Fabulous Moolah as the first IWF Women's Champion, they claim 1956 for the championship's establishment and do not recognize any title changes from when Moolah became champion in 1956 until she lost it in 1984. This made the Women's Championship the oldest active professional wrestling championship in IWE history until its retirement in 2010 after unification with the IWE Divas Championship. The final champion was Layla.

A new IWE Women's Championship (now Raw Women's Championship) was created in 2016, and although both championships had shared the name and the original is considered to be the predecessor, the new championship does not carry the lineage of the original.
