After the Women's Championship became a "Raw" exclusive title and changed the name to Raw Women's Championship, the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship was introduced on the August 23, 2016 episode of "SmackDown", with Becky Lynch becoming the inaugural champion. During the year of 2016, Charlotte and Sasha Banks feuded over the Raw Women's Championship. They main-evented "Raw" on two occasions that year, they competed in the first women's Hell in a Cell match in WWE history that same year, marking the first time that a women's match had headlined a WWE pay-per-view event.
