WWF Women's Championship



In the Classic Era, the WWF Women's Championship was the top title in the Women's class of the World Wrestling Federation.

History
Until the end of 1983, the WWWF/WWF recognized the NWA Women's Championship. As 1983 ended, so did the NWA's sponsorship of both this and the Women's Tag Team Championship. Both Championships became part of the WWF at the start of 1984. The Fabulous Moolah was Women's Champion at the time.

At times, this title was referred to as the WWF Ladies' Championship, but eventually it would settle on the Women's identity instead of Ladies'.

In 1990, the title was deactivated while Rockin' Robin was Champion. It would be reactivated in 1993 with Alundra Blayze winning it.

In 1995, Champion Alundra Blayze left the WWF with the title belt, showing up in World Championship Wrestling under her previous name, Madusa and famously dropping the belt in a trash can on WCW Monday Nitro. The title would be left vacant in 1998 when Jacqueline would win the Championship.

In 2000, a man won the Championship under dubious circumstances. Harvey Wippleman won the title while referring to himself as a woman named Hervina. Despite not being eligible for the Championship, the WWF let him keep the title after winning it, but would lose it Jacqueline almost immediately afterwards.

At the event that ended the era, WWF WrestleMania on April 1, 2001, Chyna defeated Ivory to become Champion.
