History

In July 2020, the American professional wrestling company WWE acquired the independent promotion Evolve. [1] 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. [2] On the May 7, 2025, episode of Evolve , 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. [3] [4]

During the Evolve tapings on 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 episode aired on tape delay on May 28, which is the date WWE officially recognizes. [5] [6] 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. [7]

Belt design

The WWE 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. [8]

Reigns

As of October16, 2025, there have been two reigns. The inaugural champion was Kali Armstrong. The current champion is Kendal Grey, who is in her first reign. She won the title by defeating Kali Armstrong to win the title at Evolve: Succession on October 15, 2025 (taped September 23). [9]
