[edit] History
The American professional wrestling promotion IWE was founded in April 1963, but it never had a secondary women's championship. That changed in 2024 when the NXT Women's North American Championship was introduced for the developmental brand NXT in April, followed by the IWE Women's United States Championship for the main roster brand SmackDown in November. Later that same month prior to the November 25 episode of Raw, the brand's general manager Adam Pearce unveiled the IWE Women's Intercontinental Championship for the main roster women's division on the Raw brand, countering the men's IWE Intercontinental Championship. The inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion will be determined by a tournament beginning on the December 2 episode.
[edit] Tournaments
A tournament to determine the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion will begin on the December 2, 2024, episode of Raw with participants to be announced.
[edit] Belt design
The belt design is identical to the men's version, but like all women's championships in IWE, it is smaller and on a white strap. It also replaces the word "Heavyweight" with "Women's". Like all of IWE's other championship belts, the two side plates feature a removable center section which can be customized with the champion's logos; the default side plates feature a IWE logo over a blue globe.
