The Smackdown Women's Championship is the women's division championship in New-WWE exclusive to the Smackdown brand. It debuted on the first episode of Smackdown following the brand split being put into place in Season 10, when Smackdown General Manager William Regal introduced the title in response to Raw's introduction of its brand-exclusive Women's Championship on its first post-brand split episode. The first champion was Rosetta, who won a six-woman battle royal to crown the inaugural champion on her first night in New-WWE. Currently, the Smackdown Women's Champion is Athena Snow, who is in her first reign.
