The IWA Mid-South Women's Championship is a women's professional wrestling title owned and promoted by the Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South professional wrestling promotion.[2] The title was created on May 30, 2004, in a one night tournament titled "Volcano Girls" at the National Guard Armory in Hammond, Indiana co-promoted by IWA Mid-South Wrestling and NWA Midwest Wrestling. Until June 17, 2005, it was a joint championship with the NWA Midwest Women's Championship and was known as the NWA Midwest/IWA Mid-South Women's Championship.[3][4] The championship is usually won and defended by women, although two men have once won the title such as Chuck Taylor and Lukas Jacobs. There have been a total of 24 reigns held between 17 distinctive champions and one vacancy. The current champion is Thunderkitty who is in her second reign.

6 | Mickie Knuckles | June 11, 2005 | House show | Philadelphia, PA | 1 | 160 | This was a three-way match, also involving Allison Danger. On June 17, 2005, in Midlothian, Illinois, Ed Chuman, NWA Midwest promoter, declares that a supposed title change on June 11 (an IWA Mid-South event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Mickie Knuckles defeated Danger and MsChif in a three-way match to become champion in IWA's eyes) is invalid due to the match not being sanctioned by the NWA. The two titles then split into separate entities as IWA Mid-South promoter Ian Rotten recognized Knuckles as champion with her win over MsChif. Knuckles is thus the first strictly IWA Mid-South Women's Champion, and is where that portion of the title lineage begins. | [11] | ||
