A.W.A.C. Women's Championship

The **A.W.A.C. Women's Championship** is a belt promoted by A.W.A.C.. It is one of several belts in A.W.A.C. that is not exclusive to either the Anarchy brand or the Liberty brand; instead floating between the two so wrestlers from both brands can contend and wrestle for it.

This is the 4th oldest belt in A.W.A.C. history, having debuted after the A.W.A.C. Championship, A.W.A.C World Tag Team Championship and the A.W.A.C. Intercontinental Championship when the company was still in its E-fed stages. Despite several design changes, it has always retained its name throughout A.W.A.C.'s 2 seasons.

## History

Although A.W.A.C. first began as an E-fed, it wasn't publicly recorded and uploaded to YouTube until 2013. The last Women's Champion before A.W.A.C. went on YouTube was Snowbird. A.W.A.C. recognizes Snowbird's reign as the "1st" reign in the title's full-length history.

At the 2013 Royal Crumble, Amy Rose defeated Snowbird to become the new A.W.A.C. Women's Champion. On the 1st episode of Fury, Darth Talon became the new champion by winning a Fatal-4-Way Match. The match also included Kuchisake-Onna and Marie Kanker. At Anarchy Rulz, Raven won a 15-Woman Gauntlet Match to become the new champion. After the match, Kimberly The Pink Ranger turned heel and sided with Revy & Darth Talon, essentially morphing into her new persona Psycho Pink as they beat down Raven.

After several episodes of Anarchy showing Psycho Pink and Revy turning on each other, a Triple Threat Match was sanctioned for Smashlash 2014 between the two plus champion Raven. At the event, Revy won and became the new Women's Champion.

Revy's reign (much like Cell's World Title reign since they both won their respective titles at Smashlash 2014) lasted for 1,269 days. At Anarchy Rulz II, Raven defeated Revy in a Hell In A Cell Match to become a 2-time A.W.A.C. Women's Champion. At Final Destination 2018, Raven successfully defended her title against Samus Aran, but after the match, Samus attacked her, but then Lara Croft debuted and stared Samus down until she left. After Lara herself left, Zarya then appeared, cashed in her Women's Money In The Bank contract, and won the Women's Title for the 1st time in her career.

At Summer Slamboree 2018, Zarya successfully defended the title against Raven, Taki, Lara Croft, Samus Aran, and Tracer in an Elimination Chamber Match. On Fury #23, she again successfully defended her title; this time against Tracer in a Singles Match. On April 1, 2020, on Anarchy #53, Zarya once again retained her title; this time against Taki and Alex Quinn in a Triple Threat Match. On Anarchy #55, Juri Han defeated Zarya to become champion. On Anarchy #59, Zarya defeated Juri Han to become a 2-time champion. On July 17, 2021, on Night 3 at Anarchy Rulz 3, Women's Match Beyond winner Tracer successfully defeated Zarya to win the title.

## Season 3

On August 2, 2021, on the first CPV of Season 3, Undisputed Universe, Tracer successfully defended her title against Zarya in a 15-Minute Ironman Match. Tracer won with 3 points to 2. On October 30, on Anarchy #65, Tracer defeated D.Va to retain her title. On December 4, on Anarchy #69, after Tracer defeated Juliet Starling in a Non-Title Match, Sofia Valmet cashed in her Women's Money In The Bank contract and pinned Tracer to become the new Women's Champion. On December 20, at Resonance, Sofia defeated Tracer and Juliet Starling in a Triple Threat Match to retain her title. On April 2, at Superfight, Sofia defeated Cassie Cage to retain her title. On August 29, on Anarchy #76, Tracer defeated Sofia to become a 2-time champion. On September 10, 2022, at In Your House: All Night Long, Taki defeated Tracer in a 60-Minute Anything Goes Ironman Match 9 points to 7 to finally win the A.W.A.C. Women's Championship for the first time in her career.

On October 11, 2022, at Full Zone, Taki defeated Yamato Nadeshiko to retain her title. On February 18, 2023, at A.W.A.C. presents Saturday Night's Maine Event, Taki once again defeated Yamato to retain the title.

## Belt Design

    The A.W.A.C. Women's Championship has had 2 designs in its history. The first design heavily resembled the WWE Women's Championship circa 1998 to 2010.

    The second design was a complete overhaul to the first, changing the black strap to a white strap and also making the belt a 5-plated belt instead of the previous 3. Also, all 4 plates have a circular shape as opposed to an oval-looking shape. The front plate has an embossed fist design with "Women's" and "Championship" adorned at the top and bottom of the fist respectively. The inner side plates show 3 continents: the left plate bizarrely shows Antarctica while the right plate shows North America and South America. The outer side plates show a unique black and gold star-shaped design. During Raven's 2nd reign as champion, the title would see a slight modification as the words would be resized on the front plate so that they are smaller. The word "Championship" would also be renamed to "Champion". The strap was also resized to fit the shape of the front plate.

On Fury #23, the third design of the Women's Championship was unveiled during Zarya's entrance for her title defense against Tracer. Alongside the rest of the belts, the Women's Championship was redesigned to coincide with the new A.W.A.C. logo. The new belt features 3 gold plates on a thick, white leather strap with some unique tooling on the strap itself. plus a gold belt tip. The front plate features a circular pattern with squares going around it, some black-painted accents and tooling that looks like bolts or screws. The front plate on the left and right sides also displays a series of Swarovski jewels. In the center of the front plate is the new A.W.A.C. Women's Championship logo with a female mohawk punk rocker motif. The side plates are both identical, showing a curved-square shape with the same black-painted accents and bolt/screw-looking tooling. In the center of the side plates lie the new A.W.A.C. logo, albeit with the anarchy symbol dropped in favor of a rebellious fist. This is a callback to the previous Women's Championship design which had a fist on its front plate.
