- Charlotte's first reign was when the championship was called the WWE Women's Championship.[24] Following the 2016 WWE Draft, which happened during her first reign, the title became exclusive to Raw. It was renamed to "Raw Women's Championship" during her second reign after SmackDown created the SmackDown Women's Championship. It then got its original name back after it switched to SmackDown]] following the 2023 WWE Draft. Charlotte's ring name was made longer to Charlotte Flair during her third reign.
