NXT Women’s North American Championship

NXT Women’s North American Championship is a secondary title for the female wrestlers competing on WWE NXT. NXT is the developmental brand of WWE, and many also consider it to be the third brand within WWE after RAW and SmackDown. The title was first announced on NXT Stand & Deliver. The inaugural champion is yet to be crowned. NXT Women’s North American Championship is the first time WWE has introduced a secondary women’s championship for any of its brands. Before this, only the premier women’s titles and tag titles had made their way to the WWE.

History of NXT Women’s North American Championship

The NXT North American Champion is the Men’s secondary title on WWE NXT. It was introduced in March 2018. With this, RAW, SmackDown, and NXT all had their secondary championship for the male roster. However, neither of the brands boasted a secondary female championship for another six years to come. On April 6, 2024, at NXT: Stand and Deliver, NXT General Manager Ava announced a new title for NXT. She introduced the NXT Women’s North American Championship, which will serve as the second title for the NXT female roster after the NXT Women’s Championship. This marks the first time WWE has introduced a secondary championship specifically for its female wrestlers.

Current NXT Women’s North American Champion

The NXT Women's North American Championship is vacated as of April 2025. The previous titleholder, Stephanie Vaquer, vacated the title on April 1, 2025. Vaquer was given the order by NXT General Manager Ava to give up one of her championships because she held both the NXT Women's Title and another belt. She was forced to give up one of her championship titles as a result of the decision to lighten her championship responsibilities. Ava also announced that the new champion will be declared at NXT Stand and Deliver 2025 in a six-woman ladder match.

Inaugural NXT Women's North American Championship Tournament

The first-ever NXT Women's North American Champion was crowned via a six-woman ladder match at NXT Battleground in UFC Apex on June 9, 2024. The six women to take part in the match were decided via a knockout match between twelve competitors. These twelve competitors were selected based on NXT Women's Combine results, on the parameters of their speed, power, strength, agility, and more. The ladder match was ultimately won by Kelani Jordan, who became the inaugural NXT Women's North American Champion.

NXT Women’s North American Championship Design

The NXT Women’s North American Championship closely resembles its male counterpart, featuring a smaller white leather strap for a snugger fit. The central plate mirrors the existing NXT North American Championship with a prominent globe motif. However, to distinguish it from the women's division, the globe features a shimmering, iridescent finish, catching the light with dynamic color shifts. This subtle yet impactful detail adds a touch of elegance and femininity to the championship. The side plates follow the established format, featuring a vertical NXT logo on a globe. However, these plates also incorporate the beloved design element: removable center sections. Just like the men's title, this allows future champions to personalize the plates with their logos or designs, injecting their personal touch into the championship's overall aesthetic.
