AEW didn't introduce a Women's Title until the debut edition of Dynamite on 2 October 2019. On that broadcast, pint-sized scrapper Riho beat Nyla Rose to win the belt first. This was just her 5th match for Tony Khan's upstart alternative; she'd debuted in a six-woman tag at the inaugural Double Or Nothing in May.

Khan elected to call his new belt a World Title from the off.

Riho went from teaming with Hikaru Shida and Ryo Mizunami vs. Aja Kong, Emi Sakura and Yuka Sakazaki to beating Nyla for something tangible. This was a historic moment for the new women's division emerging in All Elite. Less said about that first belt design the better mind!
