List of NXT Women's Champions

The NXT Women's Championship[1] is a women's professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE on the NXT brand. The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. The inaugural champion was Paige, who won the title on NXT on June 20, 2013.[2] Roxanne Perez is the current champion in her record-tying second reign. She defeated Lyra Valkyria at Stand & Deliver on April 6, 2024, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
