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.
2. The title is known as the Women's World Championship since June 12, 2ü23.
