Tournament information

The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Divas Championship is a professional wrestling championship in World Wrestling Entertainment. It is competed for by WWE Divas only and is exclusive to the SmackDown! brand.

History

As a result of the WWE Brand Extension in 2002, the WWE Women's Championship was made exclusive to the Raw brand. Thereafter, only Divas on the Raw brand were able to compete for the WWE Women's Championship, while the Divas on the SmackDown brand were unable to compete for a women's-exclusive championship.[1] On two separate occasions however, was the regulation bypassed, when Melina, and Ashley had challenged for the Women's Championship while they were on the SmackDown! brand but never won the title.[2][3] This led to the creation of the WWE Divas Championship, which was announced on the June 6, 2008 episode of SmackDown by SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero.[4] The championship belt was officially unveiled on the July 4, 2008 episode of SmackDown. After winning respective matches to earn the opportunity to wrestle for the new championship, Michelle McCool defeated Natalya Neidhart at The Great American Bash to become the inaugural champion.[5][6]

Current champion

The current champion is Michelle McCool, who is the inaugural champion. She defeated Natalya at The Great American Bash in Uniondale, New York on July 20 2008.[6]
