The NXT Women's Championship is a women's professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE on their developmental brand, NXT. Introduced on April 5, 2013, the inaugural champion was Paige. The current NXT Women's Champion is Asuka, who is the longest reigning champion.
The championship was first introduced on April 5, 2013, at WrestleMania Axxess. It was announced at the May 30, 2013 tapings (broadcast on the June 5 episode) of NXT, by Stephanie McMahon that there would be a tournament, featuring four developmental Divas and four Divas from the main roster competing to be crowned as the inaugural NXT Women's Champion in a knockout system format. The first NXT Women's Champion was crowned on June 20, 2013 (aired on tape delay on July 24, 2013), with Paige defeating Emma in the tournament finals.
Paige successfully defended her title at NXT Arrival against Emma using her new Scorpion Cross-Lock, but General Manager John "Bradshaw" Layfield stripped Paige of the title on the April 24, 2014 episode of NXT in order to give the Divas on NXT a chance, as Paige had been brought up to the main roster upon defeating AJ Lee for the WWE Divas Championship.
