A close run thing this. On 26 July 2009, Mickie James defeated Maryse to become only the third WWE Divas Champion in history. It was an emotional moment for James, but if she had won the title just 29 days earlier then history would have belonged to her.

28 days before Mickie pinned Maryse, the first ever Divas Champion won the WWE Women's Championship for the very first time. That champion was none other than Mrs. Undertaker herself, Michelle McCool. McCool defeated Melina for that title at The Bash, becoming the first woman in history to win both the WWE Women's and Divas Championships.

Ironically it was Mickie who eventually ended McCool's 217 day reign as champion, mercifully ending the Piggy James storyline at the 2010 Royal Rumble. McCool won the title back a month later, and by September 2010 the Women's Championship had been retired.

Many people expected Charlotte Flair to become the first woman to win both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships - but Alexa Bliss beat her to the punch.
