At All Out on September 4, 2022, reigning champion Thunder Rosa was originally scheduled to defend the championship against Toni Storm; however, due to Rosa suffering a back injury in late August, the match was called off. Instead of vacating the title, it was decided that an interim champion would be crowned until Rosa's return, after which, the interim champion would face Rosa to determine the undisputed champion. A four-way match was scheduled for All Out where Storm defeated Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., Jamie Hayter, and Hikaru Shida to become the interim champion. At Full Gear on November 19, Hayter defeated Storm to win the interim championship.{{cite web|last=Powell|first=Jason|title=AEW Full Gear results: Powell’s live review of Jon Moxley vs. MJF for the AEW World Championship, The Acclaimed vs. Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee for the AEW Tag Titles, Toni Storm vs. Jamie Hayter for the Interim AEW Women’s Title, Death Triangle vs. The Elite for the AEW Trios Titles, Saraya vs. Britt Baker|url=https://prowrestling.net/site/2022/11/19/aew-full-gear-results-powells-live-review-of-jon-moxley-vs-mjf-for-the-aew-world-championship-the-acclaimed-vs-swerve-strickland-and-keith-lee-for-the-aew-tag-titles-toni-storm-vs-jamie-hayter/|work=Pro Wrestling Dot Net|date=November 19, 2022|access-date=November 19, 2022|archive-date=November 20, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221120010510/https://prowrestling.net/site/2022/11/19/aew-full-gear-results-powells-live-review-of-jon-moxley-vs-mjf-for-the-aew-world-championship-the-acclaimed-vs-swerve-strickland-and-keith-lee-for-the-aew-tag-titles-toni-storm-vs-jamie-hayter/|url-status=live}} However, on the November 23 episode of Dynamite, it was announced that Rosa had relinquished the lineal championship, thus Hayter became the official champion by default and Storm's interim reign was retroactively made an official reign.{{cite web|url=https://www.f4wonline.com/news/aew/thunder-rosa-relinquishes-aew-womens-world-championship|title=Thunder Rosa relinquishes AEW Women's World Championship|date=November 23, 2022|last=Rose|first=Bryan|work=Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online|access-date=November 24, 2022|archive-date=November 24, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221124030141/https://www.f4wonline.com/news/aew/thunder-rosa-relinquishes-aew-womens-world-championship|url-status=live}}

Belt design

File:WMC AEWBAKER-CHAMP.jpg, with the 2021–2022 version of the championship belt]]

The original AEW Women's World Championship belt had a small oval shaped center plate. There were a total of six side plates, three on each side of the center plate. The top of the center plate had a crown and ornamentation lined the edge of the center plate. At the very center of the plate was a name plate to display the reigning champion's name. Above the name plate was AEW's logo while below the name plate read "Women's World Wrestling Champion". The side plates had a globe at the center with filigree around the globe. The plates were gold and nickel and were on a black leather strap.

On the May 28, 2021, Friday night special airing of Dynamite, reigning champion Hikaru Shida was awarded with a slightly updated championship belt. The updated belt featured the overall same design, but was slightly bigger with extra encrusted diamonds and extra gold plating, and it only had two side plates on each side of the center plate instead of three.{{cite web|last1=Thomas|first1=Jeremy|title=New AEW Women's World Title Belt Revealed on Dynamite|url=https://411mania.com/wrestling/new-aew-womens-world-title-belt-dynamite/|website=411mania|access-date=June 5, 2021|date=May 28, 2021|archive-date=June 5, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210605110303/https://411mania.com/wrestling/new-aew-womens-world-title-belt-dynamite/|url-status=live}} The unveiling of this updated design was to commemorate Shida's reign of 370 days, which at the time was the longest reign for any AEW championship (this record would be broken by Jade Cargill with the AEW TBS Championship in January 2023).{{cite web|last=Beaston|first=Erik|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2943910-aew-dynamite-results-winners-grades-reaction-and-highlights-from-may-28|title=AEW Dynamite Results: Winners, Grades, Reaction and Highlights from May 28|work=Bleacher Reporter|date=May 28, 2021|access-date=May 31, 2021|archive-date=November 14, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211114210028/https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2943910-aew-dynamite-results-winners-grades-reaction-and-highlights-from-may-28|url-status=live}} Shida, however, would lose the title just two days later at Double or Nothing to Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.

At Revolution on March 6, 2022, Baker unveiled a new design of the championship belt with bigger plates, which are gold and on a black strap. At the center of the center plate is a globe that shows the continents of North and South America. Above the globe is a black banner that says "Women's World" while below the globe is another black banner that says "Wrestling Champion". At the top of the center plate is AEW's logo while filigree fills out the rest of the plate. It lacks a nameplate that was on the previous design. The inner side plates each have a portion of the globe that shows continents not on the center plate, while the outer side plates have two wrestlers grappling below the AEW logo.{{cite tweet|author=All Elite Wrestling|user=AEW|number=1500671201978437634|date=March 6, 2022|title=Here is a better look at the New #AEW Women's World Championship #AEWRevolution|access-date=March 8, 2022}} This belt was designed by Andre Dorsey, which took three weeks to complete, and it was inspired by the Mid-South North American Championship belt of the 1980s.{{cite web|url=https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2022/03/more-photos-and-details-on-new-aew-womens-world-championship-belt/|title=More Photos And Details On New AEW Women's World Championship Belt|date=March 7, 2022|last=Mutter|first=Eric|work=Wrestling Inc|access-date=March 8, 2022|archive-date=March 7, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220307193123/https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2022/03/more-photos-and-details-on-new-aew-womens-world-championship-belt/|url-status=live}}

|notes = Lineal champion Thunder Rosa was originally scheduled to defend the title against Storm at this event but was pulled due to suffering an injury. Storm instead faced and defeated Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., Hikaru Shida, and Jamie Hayter in a four-way match to become the interim champion.
Due to Rosa forfeiting the lineal title on the November 23, 2022, episode of Dynamite, Storm's interim reign was retroactively made an official reign.
