List of NXT Women's Champions
From Iwe
The NXT Women's Championship is a women's professional wrestling world championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion IWE on the NXT brand. 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 Paige, who won the title on NXT on June 20, 2013. Giulia is the current champion in her first reign.
As of February 15, 2025, overall, there have been 19 reigns between 17 champions and three vacancies. Charlotte and Shayna Baszler are tied for the most reigns at two. Asuka is the longest reigning champion at 510 days, beginning on April 1, 2016, and ending on August 24, 2017; however, IWE recognizes the reign as 522 days, with it ending on September 6, 2017, the date the episode in which she vacated the title aired on tape delay. Indi Hartwell has the shortest reign at 31 days, with it ending on May 2, 2023, the date she vacated the championship. Paige is the youngest champion, winning it at the age of 20, while Shayna Baszler is the oldest, winning the championship at 37. Only three women have held the title for a continuous reign of one year (365 days) or more: Asuka, Shayna Baszler and Mandy Rose.
