Ranking All WWE First Time Women's Champions

1. NXT Women's Championship: Paige

Paige's prowess positioned her as a dual champion!

Much like the Divas revolution acted as a precursor to the women's evolution, the current main roster women's championships and wrestlers specifically the Four Horsewomen found their predecessors on a little brand called NXT.

At its infancy, NXT seemed like a flashier big brother to the former development territory of FCW. Yet burning within it and by extension, Triple H was the desire to revive the hackneyed face of WWE programming. This couldn't have been more abundantly clear than with its women's division and at the helm of it a young and feisty Britany Knight.

As Paige, her championship establishing 300 plus day title reign put a stamp on its value against the brittle butterfly belt over on the main roster. Despite great efforts from Nikki Bella and AJ Lee, they just couldn't match the content on NXT and its women's division giving birth to the moniker #GiveDivasAChance.

The title has not only changed the face of the business for the women in professional wrestling but elevated it to a whole other game. With a blistering tag team division and a men's division forming a who's who of indie stalwarts, it is the women's division that history will remember as the crown jewel of NXT.

This all began with that NXT Women's Championship and the young Paige.
