Japanese women's professional wrestling championship From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AWG Single Championship (Japanese: AWGシングル王座, Hepburn: AWG Shinguru Ōza), first established as the AgZ Championship, is a women's professional wrestling championship, situated at the top championship hierarchy of the japanese professional wrestling promotion Actwres girl'Z. In November 2021, Actwres girl'Z announced the dissolution of their Color's and Beginning brands, in favor of a more entertainment-based product. On February 13, 2022, the company ran their first ACTwrestling show under their new format. Therefore, between December 2021 and March 2023, the title was deactivated.[3] Overall there have been 5 reigns shared between 5 different champions, and one vacancy.
