WOTU Counties Championship (RLS Championship)

The WOTU Counties Championship is the tertiery female championship fought for in UNION Wrestling, and is recognised within the alternative wrestling scene as being the "the highest secondary women's mid-card championship in Europe".1
It is currently held by Gaia Cassidy.
==History==
The belt was created to ensure there the Tag Team Championship retirement would not lead to disparity between the Women Of The UNION (WOTU) division of UNION Wrestling and it's Men's Division.2 It was created by Eddie Hamer and Jackie Compton, after brainstorming what an entirely new championship might look like. The inaugural champion is Gaia Cassidy, who won a Three Woman Ladder Match at UNION Uneasy Alliance 2024 event in April 2024.

*=Includes live, not-streamed matches either at special events or events held during the streaming hiatuses.
==Trivia==
*Like all UNION Wrestling titles, the reigns are not measured in days held, but the number of times defended, to further separate UW from other promotions.3
*The championship was created in 2024 to replace the WOTU Tag Team Championships, to allow the growth of the Women Of The UNION (WOTU) Division to happen more organically without unnecessary throwing together of teams.4
*The title is notable for being the first of the post-reboot designs to have a unique strap, with Gaia Cassidy showing off her custom leather-strapped championship on Sunday, after Uneasy Alliance on the Saturday.5
==Behind-the-Scenes/Notes==
#The "alternative wrestling scene" being my posh little name for the universe I've created as a complete whole.
#This is true, I do want parity in my divisions, though there have been complications in trying to achieve it, and I think the narrative's usual realism means it can't be something I achieve straight away.
#This is actually to make it easier to update the pages on here, having to do so only after defences rather than daily or weekly.
#This is true, I was scrambling to make CASs into teams that ended up having no development or meaning. It's a frustration I think I also have with the real-world WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Division.
#This was actually done hastily by me when taking the picture for here, and noticing for the first time that the strap design used had the WWE scratch logo all over it!
