World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), an American professional wrestling promotion on the SmackDown brand, hosts a women’s professional wrestling championship called the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship. Besides the Raw Women’s Championship, which is held on the Raw brand, this is the other women’s championship held by WWE’s main roster.
From WWE until 2016, SmackDown and Raw had women who were the champions. It was first shown on the SmackDown Live episode on August 23, 2016. Becky Lynch was the first SmackDown Women’s Champion, so the title changed after she won.
Becky Lynch won the first-ever WWE Women’s Championship on September 11, 2016, at Backlash in Richmond, Virginia, by defeating Alexa Bliss, Carmella, Naomi, Natalya, and Nikki Bella. See below for a full rundown of all the women who have won the SmackDown title.
