Smackdown Womens Championship

The Smackdown Womens Championship is a women's professional wrestling championship created and promoted by WWE. It is one of the 2 womens championships featured on the main roster and is the only womens championship for Smackdown Live. The current champion is Amber, who is in her first reign.

Introduced in January as the Smackdown Womens Championship, it is the brand exclusive championship to Smackdown Live. It's first lineage consisted of just Amber Moon, but that lineage has since been scrapped for the new lineage.

History
The WWE Womens Champion was introduced on January 1st, and won later on in the month, by Izabelluh. Izabelluh would rival with Allie and Kat Kanellis and as a result, there have been 8 reigns shared between these 3 women. On Wrestlemania, in April, the WWE Womens Championship was unified with it's opposite Divas Championship to form one title. This title would be seperate in ways from the original title(s) but would somehow carry a same somewhat lineage.Following the introduction of the first ever WWE Brand Split, the titles counterpart, Smackdown Live Womens Championship was created, and then champion Sabrina Banks would carry the title over to RAW, as the counterpart Amelia would win the Smackdown Live! Womens Championship. Following the ending of the brand split, the RAW Womens Championship was kept and the Smackdown Live! Womens Championship was scrapped.

When the title was introduced, it shared the same name with the original title, however they have distinct lineages. WWE acknowledges the original as the predecessor of the current championship.

The Smackdown Womens Championship was brought back in result of the brand split of 2019, where it will be exclusive to Smackdown Live female talent and reactivated with a new lineage separate from the first one. The first lineage had the champion Amber Moon, as the only champion in it's lineage.

Design
The Smackdown Womens Championship is similar to it's counterpart, the WWE Championship, and United States Championship, however the belt is white, and it has a blue backing behind the WWE Logo. The sideplates have a background of blue.

- The Smackdown Womens Championship has blue sideplates and a blue backing behind the WWE Logo along with it's counterpart the WWE Raw Womens Championship which has red sideplates and a red backing behind said logo. The belts are both white.
