History
At Final Battle, December 15, 2017, it was announced that a tournament to crown the first ROH Women of Honor Championship would start on January 20, 2018. The tournament featured ROH regulars and wrestlers from ROH partner promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom (Stardom) as well.[1] Sumie Sakai was the inaugural champion and during her reign the title was renamed to Women of Honor World Championship at the Ring of Honor Wrestling tapings on August 25, 2018.[2]
During Kelly Klein's third reign, ROH producer Joey Mercury left the promotion. In a series of tweets, Mercury said ROH doesn't have a concussion protocol and Klein had to wrestle while injured. Klein agreed with Mercury and ROH let her go after her contract expired on December 31. Two months later, the creation of a new title was announced, the ROH Women's World Championship.[3]
Since coming into existence, the WOH World Title has been defended at Stardom events in addition to ROH shows.[4]
