The Women's World Championship is a women's professional wrestlingworld championship created and promoted by the AmericanpromotionWWE, defended on the Rawbrand division. It is one of two women's world titles for WWE's main roster, along with the WWE Women's Championship on SmackDown. The current champion is Liv Morgan, who is in her third reign. She won the title by defeating previous champion Stephanie Vaquer at WrestleMania 42 Night 1 on April 18, 2026.
Established as the SmackDown Women's Championship, it was unveiled on the August 23, 2016, episode of SmackDown as the counterpart to the WWE Women's Championship, which became exclusive to Raw as a result of the 2016 WWE Draft and renamed as Raw Women's Championship. The inaugural champion was Becky Lynch. As a result of the 2023 WWE Draft, the Raw and SmackDown women's championships switched brands, with the SmackDown Women's Championship subsequently renamed as the Women's World Championship, while the Raw title reverted to its original name of WWE Women's Championship. It is the fourth overall women's singles championship to be created by WWE, after the WWE Divas Championship, the NXT Women's Championship, and the current WWE Women's Championship.
The title has been contested in the main event of five WWE pay-per-view and livestreaming events: TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in 2018 and, along with the Raw Women's Championship at the time, WWE's flagship event WrestleMania 35 in 2019, and by itself on Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 in 2021, Elimination Chamber in 2024, and Evolution in 2025. It was also the first women's professional wrestling championship to be defended in Saudi Arabia, which occurred at Super ShowDown in 2020.
