On May 19th, 1984, the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE), bought the rights to the NWA Women's World Championship, renaming it to the WWF Women's World Championship. Its existing champion was recognized, and with it began WWE's long, often convoluted, but ultimately successful relationship with Women's pro wrestling. The original title ran from '84, and was dropped and revived from WWE's active titles twice: From 1990 to 1993, and again from 1995 to 1997 (in the latter of those cases, it was literally dropped into a trashcan on WCW Nitro). In 2008, WWE created a Divas championship during the original WWE brand split and split the two belts between the brands: SmackDown! and RAW. Then, in 2010, the original WWE Women's title was retired and the Divas championship remained as the sole women's title. In 2016, as part of the women's revolution in wrestling worldwide, WWE decided to retire the now-dated term Divas and, in tandem with a new brand split, create two all new women's championships, complete with their own lineages unrelated to the previous titles. In this quiz, all holders of the titles recognized as WWE World Championships for women are brought together. Can you name all 55 champions to have held at least one of those four belts since 1984?
Alternate spellings may exist for some names that might be more difficult to spell. Wrestlers who appeared under alternate names and characters can be guessed with just one of those names and will appear under only one of those names. Wrestlers are listed under the name they were using when they won the belt (or in the case of multiple wins, the most common name), and are then listed alphabetically as such by first name. Wrestlers whose names start with "The" are listed irrespective of the "The".
Legend: | WWE1 = The WWE Women's World Championship from the time the right were purchased on May 19th, 1984 - 2010 | DIVA = The WWE Diva's Championship that ran from 2008 -2016 | WWE2 = The WWE Women's Championship that replaced the original and the Divas championship in 2016 (Originally the RAW Women's Championship) | WWC = The Women's World Championship that debuted alongside the current WWE Women's Championship (originally called the SmackDown! Women's Championship)
Continued Legend: | Total = Cumulative number of World championship reigns across all four titles. | Days = Cumulative number of days having held a world championship. Note: Some wrestlers held more than one belt at a time and are given double time credited in such cases. Two wrestlers currently hold the two active titles and their cumulative number is as of May 2nd, 2024 (when this quiz was published). Title reigns lasting less than a day are given a one day credit for the sake of this quiz. The original WWF Women's World Champion's reign is counted from the day that WWE bought the rights to her championship, as prior to this, the belt was under the NWA's jurisdiction.
Quiz to be updated once a year following WrestleMania.
