| - The PRIDE AFCW Pride Championship (often referred to simply as PRIDE Championship) is PRIDE All-Female Wrestling Championship's top honor, being equivalent to a "World Championship". The title, as well as the PRIDE AFCW International Championship, PRIDE AFCW Tag Team Championship and PRIDE AFCW Extreme Championship were all first awarded during PRIDE Coronation 2012. The inaugural champion was Bobbi Jackson, who won a Coronation Chamber match on March 25, 2012 at PRIDE AFCW's Coronation pay-per-view event. At 238 days, Carmen DeVega holds the longest reign in the title's history, while Susan Rigger holds the record for shortest reign at 49 days. DeVega would successfully retain against Rigger in their re-match on August 5, 2012 at PRIDE AFCW's Apotheosis pay-per-view event, and again at Fans' Night on December 2, 2012, defeating Jasmine, also of Sexified Perfection. She is the first PRIDE Champion who has held the title for 8 weeks or longer. On October 17, 2012 she surpassed the 100-day mark as champion, and is one of five overall singles champions in PRIDE AFCW (along with inaugural Tag Team Champions and Sexified Perfection members Dominique Frost and Susan Rigger and Extreme Champion, Jessica Jackson, and International Champion, Mercedes Vargas) to accomplish this feat. On January 25, 2013, DeVega broke the 200-day mark, becoming the fourth overall singles champion in PRIDE to reach this milestone (Frost, Rigger, and Jackson were the first to do so on October 12, 2012. Frost and Rigger lost the Tag Team Championship at Fans' Night on December 2, 2012, ending their reign at 252 days). De Vega would lose the title to Jasmine at Unlimited on March 3, 2013, ending her 238-day reign. Jasmine's 70-day reign would end at Spring Outbreak on May 12, 2013 to Lollipop, who successfully cashed in her title shot opportunity for winning the Outbreak match. On August 21, 2013, Lollipop became just the second Pride Champion and tenth overall singles champion in PRIDE AFCW to surpass the 100-day mark during a single reign. The current champion is Rainbow, who is in her first reign after defeating previous champion Lollipop, Crystal Hilton, Freya Kane, Destiny Campbell, and Mikaela Demidov in a Coronation Chamber match at the Coronation 2013 pay-per-view event on September 15, 2013. On December 25, 2013, she became the third Pride Champion and thirteenth overall overall singles champion in PRIDE AFCW to surpass the 100-day mark. Overall, there have been six reigns shared between six wrestlers.
