History

At Stand & Deliver on April 6, 2024, the WrestleMania week event for WWE's developmental brand NXT, the NXT Women's North American Championship was announced by NXT General Manager Ava, subsequently marking the first secondary championship for women in company history. During Week 2 of the Spring Breakin' special of NXT on April 30, Ava announced that the inaugural champion would be crowned from a six-woman ladder match at Battleground on June 9, 2024. To determine the participants, there was a combine, and the top 12 names that impressed competed in qualifying matches. The six winners of each qualifier then advanced to the ladder match.

On the May 7 episode of NXT, Ava announced that Sol Ruca, Thea Hail, Jaida Parker, Brinley Reece, Michin (from SmackDown), Fallon Henley, Lash Legend, Ivy Nile (from Raw), Izzi Dame, Kelani Jordan, Tatum Paxley, and Wren Sinclair advanced to the ladder match qualifiers. Jordan, Ruca, Legend, Henley, Parker, and Michin advanced to the ladder match, which Jordan won to become the inaugural champion.

Belt design

The championship belt is nearly identical to its male counterpart albeit on a smaller white strap and has a red background as opposed to black, also featuring a small banner that says "Women's" right above the "North American" banner on its main plate. Like all of WWE's other championship belts, the two side plates feature a removable center section which can be customized with the champion's logos; the default side plates feature a horizontal NXT logo.
