The NWA World Women's Television Championship is a women's professional wrestling championship owned and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). It is the secondary championship of the promotion's female division. Originally, it was represented by a trophy, reminiscent of Continental Championship Wrestling's Television Championship, but was then replaced by a championship belt. The new belt was revealed on June 3, 2023, during the two-day Crockett Cup event.

History
editOn the July 26, 2022 episode of NWA's weekly flagship program, NWA Powerrr, Madusa announced they were introducing the NWA World Women's Television Championship.[2][3] On the February 14, 2023 episode of NWA Powerrr, NWA introduced the title for the women's division with a tournament to determine the inaugural holder of the championship at their next PPV, NWA 312, on April 7.[4][5] Like the NWA World Television Championship, it used the "Lucky Seven Rule". A champion who successfully defended the championship seven consecutive times would be eligible to trade in the championship for a match for the NWA World Women's Championship.[4] At NWA 312, Kenzie Paige became the inaugural champion after defeating Max the Impaler in the finals.[1]
