It is descended from the original Women's World Championship won by [[Mildred Burke]] in 1935 from Clara Mortensen. [[June Byers]] was then recognized as the succeeding champion after her [[two out of three falls match]] with Mildred Burke in 1954 went to a no contest. Subsequently, Byers was recognized as the NWA World Women's Champion, and Burke created the WWWA World Championship and was recognized as its first champion.<ref name=museum>{{cite web|url=http://www.pwhf.org/halloffamers/bios/burke.asp|title=Mildred Burke|publisher=[[Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum]]|accessdate=2009-02-20|author=Malnoske, Andrew}}</ref> Upon June Byers's retirement in 1956, it was held primarily (and operated) by Lillian Ellison under her [[ring name]], [[The Fabulous Moolah]], who first won the championship in a [[battle royal (professional wrestling)|battle royal]] in September 1956.<ref name=28years>{{cite web|url=http://www.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingGuestColumn/oct5_schramm.html|title=Moolah: Twenty-eight years was the reign|author=Chris Schramm|publisher=SLAM!
