With eight championship belts already established in the promotion, the National Wrestling Alliance is now introducing a World Women's Television Championship.

This new title was announced on the latest episode of NWA Powerrr, with a tournament soon to get underway to crown the inaugural NWA World Women's TV Champ.

Likewise announced on the latest Powerrr was the organisation's next PPV, which is titled NWA 312 and will take place in Chicago, Illinois on Friday 7 April. The 312 element of the PPV name is taken from the area code of NWA President Billy Corgan's hometown.

NWA 312 will feature the final of the tournament to crown the first ever NWA World Women's Television Champion, and qualifying matches will take place across the next batch of Powerrr episodes.

While the full tournament brackets have yet to be announced, the first match in this tourney will pit Taya Valkyrie up against Jennacide.

Much like the male equivalent, the NWA Women's TV Title will incorporate the promotion's Lucky 7 rule. That means that the World Women's Television Champion will be entitled to a shot at the NWA World Women's Championship should they successfully defend the TV Title on seven occasions.

Of course, the biggest female prize in the NWA is currently held by Kamille, with the 29-year-old having held the NWA World Women's Championship for an impressive 619 days by this point.

The arrival of the NWA Women's Television Title shouldn't come as a huge surprise to those who regularly watch the NWA, for last July saw Madusa announce that just such a championship was on the way. Still, things had remained quiet on that front until this latest development.
