AEW's top women's championship, first awarded on the debut episode of Dynamite on October 2, 2019, when Riho defeated Nyla Rose to become the inaugural champion. "Timeless" Toni Storm holds the record with four reigns and the most combined days. Hikaru Shida holds both the longest single reign, at 372 days, and the shortest, at 25 days. A 2022 injury to Thunder Rosa led to a period of interim champions before the lineage was reunified.
