Maryse with the WWE Divas Championship belt

The WWE Divas Championship is a professional wrestling women's championship owned by the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) promotion. It is primarily contested for in WWE's women's division on the Raw brand. The creation of the championship was announced on June 6, 2008 by SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero. The word "Diva" in the championship's name, alludes to the pseudonym WWE Diva, which WWE uses to refer to its female wrestlers. On April 13, 2009, the title was moved from the SmackDown brand to the Raw brand as a result of then-Divas Champion Maryse being drafted in the 2009 WWE Draft.[1]

WWE Divas Championship reigns are determined by professional wrestling matches, in which competitors are involved in scripted rivalries. These narratives create feuds between the various competitors, which cast them as villains and heroes. Some reigns were held by champions using a ring name, while others used their real name. The inaugural champion was Michelle McCool, who defeated Natalya on July 20, 2008 at WWE's The Great American Bash pay-per-view (PPV) event.[2] Maryse holds the record for most reigns, with two. At 216 days, Maryse's reign is the longest in the title's history. Jillian Hall holds the record for shortest reign in the title's history at less than a day. The current champion is Maryse. She won an eight-woman tournament, which concluded on the February 22, 2010 edition of Raw, after the previous champion, Melina, vacated the title due to an injury. Overall, there have been 6 reigns shared between 5 wrestlers.
