The EAW Universal Women's Championship is a professional e-wrestling world championship in Elite Answers Wrestling (EAW). It is a tri-branded championship, able to be competed for on any brand's shows and EAW Free-Per-Views. It was first established on June 6th, 2019 when Veena Adams announced the new championship during an episode of Empire. The inaugural holder of the championship was Serena Bennett, who won the title at Pain for Pride 12. The EAW Universal Women's Championship was introduced to replace the EAW Unified Women's Championship which was retired.
The championship is promoted as EAW's sole women's exclusive world championship, giving women from all brands a chance to compete for the title. This is the only women's exclusive world championship but this will not be the only world championship that women will be able to compete for. Following the EAW Draft and Empire's closing, women in EAW will once again become brand exclusive for the first time in three years thus opening many doors. Several women who were considered top players on Empire will be considered legitimate contenders for EAW's other three world championships, however, this title gives them even more options.
History[]
Origin[]
The title was first competed for on the twelfth-annual Pain for Pride show where the reigning EAW Unified Women's Champion Sienna Jade would be placed against the 2019 Grand Rampage winner, Serena Bennett. In the match, Serena Bennett emerged victorious to be crowned the first-ever champion. Immediately following her win, the 2019 Iconic Cup winner, Kassidy Heart, invoked her cash-in clause in an unexpected run-in where she defeated Serena to capture the championship.
Reigns[]
The inaugural champion was Serena Bennett after defeating Sienna Jade at EAW Pain for Pride XII.
There have been twelve official champion reigns, with Serena Bennett, Kassidy Heart and Minerva holding the record for the most reigns at two. Ms. Extreme holds the record for the longest reign, as she held the title for 225 days. The current champion is Milli Banks. She won after defeating Hikari Kanno and Minerva at Pain for Pride: Kingdom.
