Every Major Wrestling World Title - Ranked From Least To Most Prestigious
13. SmackDown Women's Championship
There is no base-level requirement to hold, much less "achieve", the SmackDown Women's Title. Really, it's not beyond the realms of possibility to see it around the waist of Lana. She can't wrestle, but in this everybody-gets-a-turn landscape, it does not matter.
Initially held by Becky Lynch, who hasn't really orbited it since, reinforcing the above, it felt initially like the main roster equivalent of the title that eluded her in NXT. Quickly, this nascent prestige crumbled. Alexa Bliss captured the title before she grew into the performer she is today before, in a cynical gesture defying any commitment to a careful lineage, Naomi was handed the blue belt for a second time purely to engineer a feel-good hometown WrestleMania "moment" in Orlando - the patently engineered element undermining the celebrations.
Naomi subsequently feuded with Natalya throughout the summer of 2017 when neither woman was the most over nor talented in the division, all but confirming that the title was, in more than one definition, a prop: a mere signifier used to support those who competed for it. The brief rivalry between Charlotte Flair and Asuka was an aberration; the belt is now worn by Carmella, a comedy undercard act whose male equivalent - Elias - would never wear the Universal Title at this stage in his career.
If Tamina alone is the rule-proving exception, a dire rule must be in place.
