The American professional wrestling company WWE on the Raw brand produced and marketed the WWE Raw Women’s Championship, a women’s professional wrestling world championship. The WWE Divas Championship was replaced by the WWE Women’s Championship on April 3, 2016, at WrestleMania 32, and the new title was unveiled as the WWE Women’s Championship.
Due to the 2016 WWE draught, the title changed its name and became exclusive to Raw, while SmackDown produced the SmackDown Women’s Championship as a rival title. Here is a brief description of some of the women WWE raw champions.

In 2015, she received a promotion to the WWE main roster. Her match with Bayley at NXT TakeOver: Respect in October 2015 was the first iron woman match in WWE history, the longest women’s match in WWE history at the time, and the first women’s match to ever headline an NXT TakeOver.
