The NXT Women's Championship[1] is a women's professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE on the NXT brand. The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. The inaugural champion was Paige, who won the title on NXT on June 20, 2013. Lola Vice is the current champion in her first reign. She won the title by defeating previous champion Jacy Jayne and Kendal Grey in a triple threat match at Stand & Deliver on April 4, 2026, in Chesterfield, Missouri.[2]
As of April 30, 2026, overall, there have been 26 reigns between 22 champions and three vacancies. Charlotte Flair, Shayna Baszler, Roxanne Perez, and Jacy Jayne are tied for the most reigns at two. Asuka is the longest reigning champion at 510 days,[3] beginning on April 1, 2016, and ending on August 24, 2017; however, WWE recognizes the reign as 522 days, with it ending on September 6, 2017, the date the episode in which she vacated the title aired on tape delay.[4][5] Tatum Paxley has the shortest reign at 24 days. Paige is the youngest champion, winning it at the age of 20, while Shayna Baszler is the oldest, winning the championship at 38. Only three women have held the title for a continuous reign of one year (365 days) or more: Asuka, Shayna Baszler, and Mandy Rose.
