Title history
"Silver-shaded lines in the history indicate periods of unknown lineage."
AWA Superstars of Wrestling
The title was supposedly revived in 1999 in Dale Gagner's independent promotion AWA Superstars of Wrestling, who relicensed the AWA name. However, World Wrestling Entertainment has sued Gagner for the use of the AWA name, citing trademark infringement, as the WWE owns the AWA tape library, trademarks, and logos. AWA Superstars of Wrestling has claimed lineage for their world title to the classic AWA Women's title and control over the title history, but because there is no connection to the original organizations or individuals involved therein, no continuity in title reigns or even physical belts, and questionable legal use of the AWA name, the claims made by AWA Superstars of Wrestling are in historical dispute and in legal jeopardy. AWA Superstars of Wrestling awarded the title to Sherri Martel in 1999. The title was retired on June 19 2007 in respect to Martel's death on June 15. The title was held last by Nanae Takahashi, who is now recognized as the first holder of the newly-created AWA Japan Women's Championship.
