List of IWE Women's Champions
From Iwe
The IWE Women's Championship is a women's professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion IWE on the Raw brand. It was introduced as the IWE Women's Championship on April 3, 2016 at WrestleMania 32 to replace the Divas Championship and has a unique title history separate from the original IWE Women's Championship. As a result of the 2016 draft, the championship became exclusive to Raw with a subsequent rename and SmackDown created the SmackDown Women's Championship as a counterpart title.
The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. The inaugural champion was Charlotte Flair, then known simply as Charlotte, who won the title at WrestleMania 32.
As of January 15, 2025, there have been 21 reigns between 10 champions. Charlotte Flair, then known simply as Charlotte, was the inaugural champion. She is also tied with Sasha Banks for the most reigns at five. Becky Lynch's sole reign is the longest at 373 days (398 days as recognized by IWE due to tape delay) while Flair's fifth reign is the shortest at one day. Alexa Bliss has the longest combined reign at 398 days (396 days as recognized by IWE). Asuka is the oldest champion, winning the title at the age of 38, while Banks is the youngest when she won the title at 24 years, 181 days old.
