10 Youngest female WWE Superstars on the current roster
Becoming a WWE Superstar is what many of us dream of, and for numerous Superstars, that's how it all started. It's very important for a promotion to develop its young wrestlers into future stars. Otherwise, they'd end up like WCW 2.0, which relied on older stars such as Hulk Hogan and failed to build stars out of their younger wrestlers. WWE built stars out of women like Lita, Chyna, and Trish Stratus, who changed the landscape for women in pro wrestling.
Many WWE Superstars started in this business when they were just teenagers and they wrestled in several independent promotions before making a big name for themselves in WWE. These women also made history along the way in the company. Whether it was winning their first title in their adulthood or main eventing a major WWE show, these young women proved that age is indeed just a number.
So, without further ado, here are the ten youngest female Superstars currently performing in WWE right now (as of 25 July 2019). Only the in-ring wrestlers are counted and not managers or other backstage personnel.
#10 Killer Kelly - 27 years old
Killer Kelly made her debut for WWE in 2018 last year, and she is currently the first Portuguese wrestler to sign with WWE. She is part of the NXT UK women's division.
She also took part in the 2018 Mae Young Classic. She hasn't accomplished anything major in NXT UK yet but could achieve a lot in the future.
#9 Sasha Banks - 27 years old
The Boss Sasha Banks has accomplished a lot in WWE despite her young age. In her career, she has main evented several WWE PPV's, including NXT TakeOver: Respect, Hell in a Cell and the 2018 women's Royal Rumble match. She is a four-time Raw Women's Champion, former NXT Women's Champion and the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Champion.
It's incredible how Banks achieved so much at a young age. She is one of the most decorated female Superstars in WWE right now but after she and Bayley lost their Women's Tag Team Championships to The IIconics at WrestleMania 35, Banks has not been seen on WWE TV since and it's unknown when exactly she will make her return to the ring.
#8 Alexa Bliss - 27 years old
The Goddess Alexa Bliss is one of the most skilled Superstars currently competing in WWE. She is excellent on the mic and plays an exceptional heel character on TV. She has achieved so much in WWE despite being very young. Little Miss Bliss is a 5-time Women's Champion and the 2018 women's Money in the Bank contract winner.
She is the host of her own talk show 'A Moment of Bliss' and she recently challenged Bayley for the SmackDown Women's Championship twice. Little Miss Bliss is a very talented performer and she plays her character to a T. Even though she has accomplished a lot in her young career, WWE is not done with her yet and she could possibly achieve a lot more in WWE such as winning the Women's Tag Team titles along with her partner (Nikki Cross).
#7 Peyton Royce - 26 years old
Peyton Royce is one-half of the heelish tag-team known as The IIconics. They made their main roster debut on SmackDown Live in 2018 last year by attacking then-SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte. Peyton Royce and Billie Kay successfully defeated the team of Asuka and Naomi at WWE Super Show-Down 2018 which took place in Australia, their birthplace.
The team defeated The Boss N' Connection at The Showcase of Immortals to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. The IIconics' run with the title has been mediocre and they have not defended the title at a single PPV since becoming champions at WrestleMania 35. They mostly defended their titles against enhancement talents on SmackDown Live. They are, however, the longest-reigning Women's Tag Team Champions and with SummerSlam approaching, they could have their first title defense at the PPV, with the Kabuki Warriors possibly being the challengers.
#6 Sarah Logan - 25 years old
The Viking Princess Sarah Logan is known for being a member of the disbanded Riott Squad stable, and she is currently assigned to the Raw brand. Logan is yet to accomplish something in WWE. She competed in NXT for a while and also took part in the Mae Young Classic.
She made her main roster debut on an episode of SmackDown Live alongside Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan before the stable was moved to Raw and they competed for the Women's Tag Team Championships but were unsuccessful. The stable has since been disbanded after Liv was drafted to the blue brand this year.
Logan teamed with her former Riott Squad members in house shows but was unfortunately kept off TV for a while. She returned to Raw before Extreme Rules and took on Bayley in a Beat The Clock challenge on Raw where she lost. Even though she hasn't achieved much in WWE, only the future knows what's in store for Sarah Logan.
#5 Sonya Deville (25 years old)
Sonya Deville is one of, if not, the most underrated female Superstar in WWE right now. Deville signed a contract with WWE in 2015 and was she assigned to the WWE Performance Center where she was trained to become a professional wrestler.
In the very same year, she was moved to NXT, but her run in the black and yellow brand was quite underwhelming. Sonya Deville made her main roster debut on the red brand in 2017 alongside Paige and Mandy Rose as they attacked several other women.
The stable was officially recognized as Absolution. During the 2018 WWE Superstar Shake-up, Deville and Mandy were drafted to the B-Show SmackDown Live and they are currently known as Fire and Desire. Although her partner Mandy Rose gets all the spotlight, perhaps we could see Deville shine in the future. Fans will be delighted if this happens.
#4 Liv Morgan - 25 years old
Current SmackDown Live Superstar Liv Morgan made her main roster debut on an episode of SmackDown Live in November 2017 as a villain alongside Sarah Logan and Ruby Riott. Morgan was the youngest member of The Riott Squad and she is currently the youngest female Superstar currently competing on the main roster. In 2018, she was drafted to WWE's flagship show Monday Night Raw along with her Riott Squad stablemates. The team frequently lost their matches and they failed to make a big name for themselves on Raw.
After WrestleMania 35, Liv Morgan was drafted to SmackDown Live, the only member of the stable to move to the blue brand, which resulted in the group being disbanded. Morgan was absent from SmackDown for months before returning to the fallout episode of Extreme Rules where she lost to Charlotte Flair. The youngster was impressive in her match and a singles push for her is a much-needed move from WWE.
#3 Toni Storm - 23 years old
Toni Storm is assigned to the NXT UK brand where she currently competes and is the reigning NXT UK Women's Champion. Storm is the second person to win the title and has the longest reign since the title's inception. She is also the first New Zealand-born singles champion in WWE.
She won the 2018 Mae Young Classic tournament at the Evolution PPV and defeated the inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion Rhea Ripley at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool to capture the title. She has done so much at such a young age.
#2 Rhea Ripley - 22 years old
Rhea Ripley, the former and inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion –– is the second-youngest active in-ring WWE Superstar currently competing in the company.
Ripley performs in the NXT UK brand where she became the youngest and the first-ever champion on the women's roster. She originally began wrestling at the age of 17 in 2013. She signed with WWE in 2017 and competed in the first Mae Young Classic before moving to NXT and finally settling in NXT UK.
#1 Xia Brookside - 20 years old
And last, but not least, we have current NXT UK performer Xia Brookside. Brookside wrestled for several indie promotions before taking part in the 2018 Mae Young Classic tournament. What you might not know is that she is the daughter of NXT trainer, Robbie Brookside.
Xia took part in a tournament to crown the inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion but was unsuccessful. At the age of 20, Xia is currently the youngest Superstar in WWE. Having a youngster like her in the company and in NXT UK is a good thing because NXT UK is a brand that is still growing and there's no doubt that she will grow with it.
She will also get to learn a lot of things from her fellow wrestlers and perhaps another shot or even an NXT UK Women's Championship reign could be in store for her.
