AWA World Women's Championship



In the Classic Era, the AWA World Women's Championship was the top title in the Women's class of the American Wrestling Association.

History
At the start of the Classic Era, the Champion was Vivian Vachon. The championship was dormant for over a decade after Betty Nicoli retired while with the title. Candi Devine would win a battle royal in 1984 to claim it.

Sherri Martel had two reigns end with the title being vacated. The first was after failing to defend the title against Devine in 1985. The second was in 1987 after being unavailable to defend the title upon signing a deal with the World Wrestling Federation. Similar to Martel in 1987 was champion Wendi Richter's departure in 1989, with the title again going back to Devine.

In 1990, Devine was once again champion when she lost to Monster Ripper, an alias of Rhonda Singh in Puerto Rico at a World Wrestling Council event. The AWA however disputed the finish and Devine was still recognized as their final champion as the league folded in 1991.
