WWE has continued its recent run of new championship belts, unveiling the Women's World Championship for Rhea Ripley on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw:

WWE @WWE

BREAKING: <a href="https://twitter.com/ScrapDaddyAP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ScrapDaddyAP</a> just unveiled the BRAND NEW Women's World Championship and presented it to <a href="https://twitter.com/RheaRipley_WWE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RheaRipley_WWE</a>! What do you think? 🔥<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WWERaw?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WWERaw</a> <a href="https://t.co/M7T5R7g8gC">pic.twitter.com/M7T5R7g8gC</a>

Ripley had been holding the SmackDown Women's Championship, but WWE recently has done away with branded title belts. Former Raw Women's Champion Asuka was given a new WWE Women's Championship on Friday's episode of SmackDown Live.

In addition to the new women's titles, WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns was given a new belt to commemorate his 1,000-plus-day reign, replacing the two titles he used to carry around. Seth Rollins defeated AJ Styles at Night of Champions last month to win the new World Heavyweight Championship, which will be defended exclusively on Monday Night Raw.
