WWE Evolve Women's Championship

In July 2020, the American professional wrestling company WWE acquired the independent promotion Evolve. In March 2025, WWE launched a developmental brand called Evolve, a relaunch of the former promotion, featuring WWE Performance Center trainees, as well as wrestlers signed to the WWE Independent Development program. On the May 7, 2025, episode of Evolve (tape date unknown), the brand's Prime Minister Stevie Turner announced the creation of men's and women's Evolve Championships. The titles were designed to be defended exclusively on the Evolve brand, offering more opportunities for WWE rookie talent, giving them increased exposure and opportunities. During the May 28 episode of Evolve (taped April 25), Kali Armstrong became the inaugural champion by defeating Wendy Choo, Kendal Grey, and Kylie Rae, who she last eliminated, in a fatal four-way elimination match. The Evolve Women's Championship became the first Evolve championship to be defended on the NXT brand on the July 15 episode of NXT, where Armstrong defeated Karmen Petrovic by disqualification after interference from Jordynne Grace. == Belt design ==

The Evolve Women's Championship belt design is nearly identical to the men's WWE Evolve Championship, consisting of the WWE Evolve logo at the center of the center plate with the words "Women's" and "Champion" on the top and bottom of the plate, respectively. There are four side plates. Like all of WWE's championship belts, the inner side plates feature a removable center section that can be customized with the champion's logo; the default plates feature the WWE logo over a globe. The outer side plates also feature the WWE logo but not on a globe. Also like WWE's other women's championships, the plates are smaller than the men's and on a white strap instead of black. == Reigns ==

As of , , there have been three reigns and one vacancy. Kali Armstrong was the inaugural champion. Armstrong also has the longest reign at 151 days, while Kendal Grey has the shortest at 150 days; however, due to tape delay, WWE officially recognizes that Grey has the longest reign at 146 days while Armstrong has the shortest reign at 139 days. Wendy Choo is the oldest champion at 34, while Grey is the youngest at 24. Wendy Choo is the current champion in her first reign. She won the vacant title by last pinning Nikkita Lyons in an eight-woman Gauntlet match during the Evolve tapings on March 20, 2026, in Orlando, Florida, which aired on tape delay on April 15, 2026; previous champion Kendal Grey relinquished the title as she became a full-time member of the NXT brand. == See also ==
