On October 12, 2012, Tajiri, the founder of Wrestling New Classic (WNC), announced the creation of the WNC Women's Championship, with a six-woman single-elimination tournament starting on October 26 in Korakuen Hall. The six participants were announced as Kana, Syuri, Lin Byron, Makoto, Nagisa Nozaki and Jessica Love, a Finnish wrestler, who was born male, but underwent a sex reassignment surgery in 2011 to legally become female. The first round of the tournament was decided that same day by a random draw, conducted by Tajiri and WNC president Tsutomu Takashima, which resulted in Love and Nozaki getting byes directly to the semifinals.{{cite web | url=http://wrestling-newclassic.com/ja/news-navi/350-1012-conf.html | title=まだ見ぬベルトは２本あった！！初代WNC女子王座決定トーナメントも開催決定！！ | date=October 12, 2012 | accessdate=October 27, 2012 | work=Wrestling New Classic | language=Japanese }}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{cite web | url=http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/47475/ | script-title=ja:ＷＮＣ初代女子王座決定トーナメント開催 | date=October 16, 2012 | accessdate=October 27, 2012 | work=Tokyo Sports | language=Japanese | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021012008/http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/47475/ | archive-date=October 21, 2012 | url-status=dead }} The first first round match took place on October 26 and saw Syuri defeat Lin Byron to advance to the semifinals against Jessica Love.{{cite web | url=http://wrestling-newclassic.com/ja/367-10-26-tajiri.html | title=10・26 後楽園ホール大会 全試合結果&Tajiri総括 | date=October 27, 2012 | accessdate=October 27, 2012 | work=Wrestling New Classic | language=Japanese | archive-url=https://archive.today/20121205010324/http://wrestling-newclassic.com/ja/367-10-26-tajiri.html | archive-date=December 5, 2012 | url-status=dead | df=mdy-all }} The second first round match took place on November 26 and saw Kana defeat Makoto to advance to the semifinals against Nagisa Nozaki.{{cite web |url=http://wrestling-newclassic.com/ja/394-20121127kekka.html |title=WNC福岡　西鉄ホール大会　試合結果 |date=November 27, 2012 |accessdate=November 27, 2012 |work=Wrestling New Classic |language=Japanese |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121217210632/http://wrestling-newclassic.com/ja/394-20121127kekka.html |archive-date=December 17, 2012 |df=mdy-all }} In the semifinals two days later, Syuri defeated Jessica Love, while Nagisa Nozaki eliminated the inaugural Smash Diva Champion, Kana, setting up a final match between the two.{{cite web |url=http://wrestling-newclassic.com/ja/396-20121128kekka.html |title=11･28WNC後楽園ホール大会　試合結果 |date=November 29, 2012 |accessdate=November 29, 2012 |work=Wrestling New Classic |language=Japanese |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121216143950/http://wrestling-newclassic.com/ja/396-20121128kekka.html |archive-date=December 16, 2012 |df=mdy-all }} On December 27, Syuri, the final Smash Diva Champion, defeated Nagisa Nozaki to become the inaugural WNC Women's Champion.{{cite web | url = http://battle-news.com/battle/2012/12/001634.php | title = AkiraがTajiriを、朱里が野崎を下し、シナプスがフィンレーからのベルトを独占！自爆し髪を刈られた黒潮が覚醒！ | date=December 27, 2012 | accessdate=December 27, 2012 | work=Battle News | language=Japanese}}{{cite web | url=http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/66910/ | title=WNC初代男女王者にAkira＆朱里 | date=December 28, 2012 | accessdate=December 28, 2012 | work=Tokyo Sports | language=Japanese | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130102220258/http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/66910/ | archive-date=2013-01-02 | url-status=dead }}{{cite web | url = http://ameblo.jp/ringstars/entry-11440376099.html | script-title=ja:【結果】ＷＮＣ12・27後楽園 | date=December 31, 2012 | accessdate=January 2, 2013 | work=Ringstars | publisher=Ameba | language=Japanese}}{{-}}
