WWWA World Single Championship
The WWWA World Single Championship was the top singles women's professional wrestling championship in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling from 1970 until it closed in 2005. It was also known in Pro Wrestling Illustrated and other London Publishing wrestling magazines as the All-Japan Women's International Championship. The title was descended from the original Women's World Championship, which Mildred Burke won in 1937.
On April 29, 1937, Mildred Burke defeated Edna Bancroft in Columbus to claim the Al Haft's Midwest Wrestling Association title. The physical belt was the prototype for the first belt design, presented to Aiko Kyo on October 15, 1970. On August 22, 1985, Jaguar Yokota successfully defended the title against Lioness Asuka. After the match she was awarded with a second belt, which design resembles June Byers' championship belt.
On September 2, 2017, the title was revived for one day by former AJW wrestlers Kumiko Maekawa, Manami Toyota, Nanae Takahashi and Yumiko Hotta at an independent event produced by Hotta. The soon-to-retire Toyota then defeated Hotta and was awarded the title belt.
