The WWE Evolve Women's Championship belt design is nearly identical to the men's WWE Evolve Championship, consisting of the WWE Evolve logo at the center of the center plate with the words "Women's" and "Champion" on the top and bottom of the plate, respectively. There are four side plates. Like all of WWE's championship belts, the inner side plates feature a removable center section that can be customized with the champion's logo; the default plates feature the WWE logo over a globe. The outer side plates also feature the WWE logo but not on a globe. Also like WWE's other women's championships, the plates are smaller than the men's and on a white strap instead of black.[8]
