The World Of Stardom Championship is the top singles title in Stardom. It is often referred to as the “red belt” because of it’s red color that distinguishes it from other Stardom titles (which all have the same star-shaped plate designs). It was first awarded in July 2011 when Nanae Takahashi won a tournament to crown the inaugural champion.
