The '''Women's World Championship''' is a [[women's professional wrestling]] [[Professional wrestling championship#World championship|world championship]] created and promoted by the [[United States of America|American]] [[professional wrestling promotion|promotion]] [[IWE]], defended on the [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]] [[IWE brand extension|brand division]]. It is one of two women's world titles for IWE's main roster, along with the [[IWE Women's Championship]] on [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]]. The current champion is [[Stephanie Vaquer]].
+

Established as the SmackDown Women's Championship, it was unveiled on the August 23, 2016, episode of ''[[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown]]'' as the counterpart title to the IWE Women's Championship, which became exclusive to Raw as a result of the [[IWE Draft (2016)|2016 IWE draft]] and renamed as Raw Women's Championship. The inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion was [[Katelyn Kovich<!--(2007, pg. 66)-->|Becky Lynch]]. The title has been contested in the main event of three [[List of IWE pay-per-view events|IWE pay-per-view event]]s: [[IWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (2018)|TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in 2018]] and, along with Raw's Women's Championship at the time, IWE's flagship event [[IWE WrestleMania 35|WrestleMania in 2019]], and by itself on Night 1 of [[IWE WrestleMania 37|WrestleMania in 2021]]. It was also the first women's professional wrestling championship to be defended in [[Saudi Arabia]], which occurred at [[IWESuper ShowDown (2020)|Super ShowDown in 2020]].
+
-
+
-
As a result of the [[IWE Draft (2023)|2023 IWE Draft]], the Raw and SmackDown women's championships switched brands. In June 2023, the SmackDown Women's Championship was renamed as the Women's World Championship while the Raw Women's Championship reverted to its original name of IWE Women's Championship.

== Brand designation history ==
+
-
The championship was established to be exclusive to its namesake brand, SmackDown. An incident occurred in the [[2021 WWE Draft]] where both the Raw and SmackDown women's champions were drafted to the opposite brands. To keep the titles on their respective brands, the champions swapped titles. However, this same incident occurred in the [[IWE Draft (2023)|2023 IWE Draft]], but the champions instead kept their titles, thus the titles changed brands despite their namesakes.
