Raquel Gonzalez won the NXT women’s championship from Io Shirai on the first night of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver
Bianca Belair won Sasha Banks’ SmackDown women’s championship on night one of Sasha Banks WrestleMania 37
Rhea Ripley won the Asuka Raw Women’s Championship on night two of Asuka WrestleMania 37

How about that?
