Ever since pro-wrestling came into being, one of the unwritten rules of the sport was that women would compete for their own titles and won't go at it in the ring with men, except for rare occasions. As time passed, things changed and WWE Hall of Famer Chyna's arrival helped women a big deal in regards to breaking the barrier and competing with men.

Around two decades later, intergender wrestling isn't a taboo subject anymore and several proportions have started featuring men vs women matches on their cards. Tessa Blanchard became the first woman in IMPACT Wrestling history to become a World Champion when she defeated Sami Callihan earlier this year at Hard To Kill.

In the following list, we will take a look at three WWE female Superstars who have stated that they want to compete for the men's title and two who have already won one.


#5 Charlotte Flair (wants a shot at a men's title)

Charlotte Flair is hands down one of the greatest Women's Champions in WWE history. She made her way to the main roster in 2015 along with Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch, and never looked back. Flair is currently a 12-time Champion and a sure-fire future WWE Hall of Famer. The Queen has also set her sights on winning a men's title in the future. While speaking with Sportskeeda, Charlotte revealed that a men's title is something that she is interested in.

It’s something that I want to pursue but, if you look at the big picture, when women are succeeding in different organisations all around the world, we’re all succeeding and we’re all winning from that.

Flair still has a long way to go and only time will tell if she manages to win a men's title somewhere down the line. WWE has kept its distance from the idea of intergender matches for a while now, but things could always change in the future.

#4 Jacqueline (has won a men's title)

Jacqueline was a mainstay on WWE SmackDown back in late 2002 and early 2003. At WrestleMania 20, Chavo Guerrero retained his WWE Cruiserweight title in a Cruiserweight Championship Open, mere weeks after defeating Rey Mysterio to win the belt. The May 6, 2004 edition of the blue show saw a cocky Chavo laying down an open challenge for his title, which was accepted by Jacqueline.

In a surprising turn of events, Jacqueline ended up winning the belt by defeating Chavo. She later defended the belt in a rematch with Chavo at WWE Judgment Day 2004. The stipulation of the match demanded that Chavo's arms would be tied behind his back. Despite this, he somehow managed to win back his title belt and Jacqueline's Cruiserweight title run came to an end.

Unfortunately, this short-lived push didn't do much for Jacqueline on the main roster. In June 2004, she was released from WWE after the creative team failed to come up with anything for her on-screen character on SmackDown.

#3 Sonya Deville (wants a shot at a men's title)

Sonya Deville made her way to WWE's main roster back in late 2017. She and Mandy Rose joined a returning Paige and the trio dubbed themselves 'Absolution'. Following Paige's career-ending injury at a WWE house show, Rose and Deville remained together. The duo recently split up at WWE WrestleMania 36, mere days after Mandy realized that Sonya had plotted with Dolph Ziggler to keep her away from Otis.

Deville recently had a chat with Forbes and made it clear that she would love to compete for the men's title.

I’ve always been one for equality, whether it be gender, sexuality, race, religion, I firmly believe that that’s important and that’s part of the progression of the women’s evolution that’s taking place today. I mean, we’re in 2020, I think anything’s possible. And I would love to be one of the first women to kind of pioneer that concept.

Deville's feud with Mandy Rose has made it pretty clear that she has all the ingredients to become a legit star. As for a men's title reign, we'll just have to wait for the stars to hopefully align somewhere down the line.

#2 Chyna (has won a men's title)

Chyna made her WWE debut as Triple H's bodyguard and soon turned into one of the most intriguing acts on WWE television. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Chyna later formed D-Generation X, one of the most successful factions in WWE history. In mid-1999, Chyna kicked off a feud with Jeff Jarrett over the latter's Intercontinental title. Jarrett defeated Chyna at Unforgiven to retain the belt.

Mere weeks later, Chyna defeated Jarrett to become the first-ever female Intercontinental Champion in WWE history. She is the only woman in WWE history to have held the coveted belt. Chyna soon got into a feud with Chris Jericho and defeated him to retain her belt at Survivor Series 1999. Finally, Jericho managed to defeat Chyna at Armageddon and put an end to her historic title reign.

In addition to her two Intercontinental title runs, Chyna has also won the WWE Women's title on one occasion. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a part of DX in 2019, three years after her tragic passing.

#1 Beth Phoenix (wants a shot at a men's title)

One of the most dominant Divas in WWE history, Beth Phoenix has done it all. She was a major attraction in the Women's division during her six-year stint on the main roster. Back in 2012, Phoenix had an interview with WWE Magazine and stated that she would love to compete for the World Heavyweight title.

"Competing for the World Heavyweight Championship (the men's title). I have broken down many of the gender barriers in WWE and would love to have a fair chance to compete for it."

Phoenix left WWE in the same year but made her return to the ring in 2019 to team up with Natalya in a Fatal 4-Way match at WrestleMania 35. The duo failed to win the Women's Tag Team titles, with The IIconics bagging the gold when all was said and done.

Phoenix has won the Women's title on three occasions and has also won the Divas title once. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017 for her contributions towards the business.
