History
At WrestleMania 32 on April 3, 2016, Lita announced that a new WWE Women's Championship would be created. In the process, the Divas Championship would be retired.[1] Later in the night, the Divas Champion Charlotte beat Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks to win the new Women's Championship.[2]
The title shared its name with the original Women's Championship. However, the new title does not share the same title history as the original.[3] The first Women's Championship was unified with the Divas Championship in 2010. As result, they combined their lineage and history.[4][5]
In the draft that took place on July 19, 2016, Charlotte was drafted to Raw and the title was called "WWE Raw Women's Championship".
