In 2015 Stephanie McMahon announced the women's revolution. Since then women's wrestling in WWE has been the pinnacle attraction. There has been the first ever women's Hell in a Cell match as well as the first ever women's Royal Rumble match. However, recent news has once more shocked the world.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
On October 28th fans will witness WWE Evolution, the first ever all-female PPV. It will have championship matches for the; Raw, SmackDown Live, and NXT women's championships. Moreover, it will host the finals of the Mae Young Classic.
The work WWE has afforded is excellent. However, women's wrestling outside the WWE is progressing exponentially. In the UK Viper and Brie Priestley have been generating mass interest. Moreover, in Impact wrestling and ROH there are names such as; Tenille Dashwood and Tessa Blanchard. With this plethora of talent, who has performed the best.
#4 Tessa Blanchard
The Four Horsemen created legendary moments throughout history. However, group member Tully Blanchard perhaps created a future legend. Her name is Tessa Blanchard.
Blanchard has worked for Shimmer Women Athletes, East Coast Wrestling Association, WWE, and World Wonder Ring Stardom. Presently she is working for Impact wrestling (formerly TNA).
In 2016, she was ranked PWI #38 of the best 50 female wrestlers. Moreover, she was a participant in the Mae Young Classic 2017, see video below.
Since then her actions have been exciting. At Slammiversary XVI she claimed her first PPV victory, defeating Allie.
Although not yet the champion, she is by far the best on Impact wrestling. Perhaps in the industry. Who would not want to see Charlotte versus Tessa Blanchard? The daughters of legends Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard. Ultimately, her efforts are improving female wrestling.
#3 Shayna Baszler (NXT)
The current NXT Women's champion Shayna Baszler has been progressing well. Moreover, she has defeated all competition. At NXT Takeover: Brooklyn IV she will compete with Kairi Sane for the NXT Women's Championship. Her path of destruction began in late 2017. She would attack Sane on December 27th. Her actions prompted a reaction from Ember Moon.
At NXT Takeover: Philadelphia Baszler defeated Moon becoming champion. Baszler has been unstoppable since becoming champion. Her fighting background has proven valuable.
Eventually, she will be defeated. However, her credentials will generate more championships in 2018. Perhaps Baszler will debut on Raw or SmackDown Live. Nevertheless, Baszler has a bright future.
Her character is solid as a heel, see video below. Moreover, she works excellently with all opponents.
With the path Baszler is heading, she will be a future legend. Furthermore, her history with Ronda Rousey could lead to an immense feud. What will happen?
#2 Charlotte (SmackDown Live)
First gracing WWE television in 2012 Charlotte has developed exponentially. Working in NXT between 2012 and 2015 she would become NXT Women's champion. It would solidify her future progression. On July 13th, 2015 Charlotte debuted into the main roster. Since then she has become a five-time champion. Moreover, alongside Sasha Banks, she performed in the very first female Hell in a Cell match, see video below. Her actions have been crucial for the revolution.
Charlotte has excellent ring credentials similar to her father, Ric Flair. However, her character both heel and face determine her true success. Recently Charlotte was entered into the championship picture.
At SummerSlam Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Carmella will compete for the SmackDown Women's championship. Will the PWI number one female wrestler of 2016 reign once more? Regardless of the outcome, she is a future Hall of Famer and has been crucial to women's wrestling.
#1 Ronda Rousey (Raw)
It started at Wrestlemania 34, the birth of Ronda Rousey's wrestling career. She performed alongside WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle to battle Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Her performance was surprisingly good. It certainly lived up to the hype, see video below.
On May 14th Nia Jax challenged Rousey to a match for the Raw Women's Championship. At Money in the Bank Alexa Bliss cashed in her opportunity. She attacked Rousey and Jax. Consequently, Rousey won the match, not the championship.
On Raw the following night Rousey attacked Bliss, leading to a 30-day suspension. However, once served Angle would provide her a championship opportunity.
At SummerSlam Rousey has an excellent chance to showcase her talent against Bliss. Will her fighting prowess overcome Bliss? Although youthful in her career Rousey is generating mass intrigue. It cannot be argued that her presence is improving women's wrestling.
