NXT Women’s Championship
The future of the NXT women’s landscape began to take shape on July, 24, 2013, when NXT female standouts Paige and Emma clashed in a tournament final to become the first holder of the NXT Women’s Championship. Paige walked away as the inaugural champion that night, but a long line of future greats would follow, including Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, Bayley, and Asuka.
Since the NXT Women’s Championship debuted, the industry has seen a major shift in how women are presented. Thus far, women in WWE have made history by main eventing Pay-Per-Views and competing in Iron Man matches, Ladder matches and Hell in a Cell matches that were previously exclusive to the men’s division.
