The Women's Division in WWE is currently more competitive than ever before. The women on both the main roster and NXT now have Tag Team Championships to compete for as well as their usual main singles championships.
The addition of these championships have served to boost the divisions on both SmackDown and RAW and has allowed several women to be handed more TV time.
Every woman in WWE at present has had a different journey to the main roster and some took longer than others. There are several women who are much older than the current women on the main roster and many who are much younger.
The following list looks at just five current female wrestlers in WWE who either look older or younger than they are.
#5. Former WWE Women's Champion Asuka- 39 years old
Asuka was the woman who was chosen to take the RAW Women's Championship last year when Becky Lynch went on maternity leave. Asuka has been a safe pair of hands in WWE for more than six years and is the holder of the longest undefeated streak in WWE history.
The former NXT Women's Champion stepped into the wrestling world later than much of the current roster, which is why she is much older than the likes of Sonya Deville, Liv Morgan and even Rhea Ripley.
Asuka made her wrestling debut back in 2004 when she was just 23 years old and then wrestled in Japan until she was signed by WWE back in 2016.
Interestingly, the former Women's Champion turns 40 in September and is already a mother outside of the business. Many fans find it hard to believe that Asuka is one of the oldest female wrestlers in the company since she doesn't look a day over 30.
Somehow, despite spending the last 17 years putting her body on the line in the name of art, the former Champion has managed to retain her youthful looks and could continue to wrestle for many years to come.
Asuka could become the first female wrestler to wrestle for WWE at the top level well into her 50s since she isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
#4. Current WWE star Lacey Evans- 31 years old
Lacey Evans was forced to take leave from WWE earlier this year when The Sassy Southern Belle announced that she was expecting her second child.
Evans made the announcement on an episode of Monday Night RAW, as part of a storyline with Ric Flair. It was later revealed that the announcement was actually real and Evans was dropped from her Women's Championship match.
The former NXT star has been part of WWE since 2016 but only made her wrestling debut two years prior. Ahead of her wrestling career, Evans enlisted in the Marines when she was just 19 and served for five years.
The Sassy Southern Belle later went on to welcome her daughter Summer before stepping into the wrestling business at the age of 24. Many fans believe that Evans is much older than she is because she has had quite the life outside of the ring.
Evans is only 31 years old, but it could be argued that the former NXT Superstar does look older.
#3. Current WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley- 24 years old
Rhea Ripley is the current RAW Women's Champion after overcoming the threat of Asuka back at WWE WrestleMania last month.
Ripley is a former NXT UK and NXT Women's Champion and there is a belief that the Australian star has been part of WWE for much longer than she actually has.
Ripley first appeared for the company when she was just 20 years old as part of the inaugural Mae Young Classic. The former Champion then underwent quite the image change when she returned in 2018 for the second annual tournament.
Ripley then appeared on NXT UK where she became Women's Champion, before moving over to NXT and dethroning Shayna Baszler to become Champion on the black and gold brand.
The fact that Rhea Ripley has been performing at a high level in WWE for so long has led fans to believe that she's much older than she is. Ripley is just 24 years old, even though the RAW Women's Champion does look older.
#2. Former WWE Women's Champion Natalya- 38 years old
Natalya has been a part of WWE programming since 2008 when she made her official main roster debut. Over the past 13 years, the third generation star has become known as one of the company's most underrated performers.
The former Women's Champion made her wrestling debut more than two decades ago and the fact that Nattie is one of the company's longest-tenured performers is misleading.
It leads many fans to believe that Nattie is much older than she actually is. Tamina is the oldest active female wrestler on the main roster at 43 years old, whilst Nattie is only 38.
The two women have become quite successful in recent months. They are the current Women's Tag Team Champions after finally overcoming the threat of former Champions Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax.
Both Tamina and Natalya have been part of WWE for more than a decade and have been waiting for a shot at the big time. Finally, the two stars have been given the opportunity that they deserve.
#1. Former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler- 40 years old
Shayna Baszler is one of the oldest female wrestlers on WWE's main roster at present since the star decided to make the career switch quite late on.
The former Women's Tag Team Champion was focused on her career in Mixed Martial Arts up until 2015 when Baszler decided to step into a wrestling ring instead.
Baszler made her WWE debut back in 2017 as a part of the inaugural Mae Young Classic. In recent years, the former Champion has made quite the climb through the ranks in the company.
Baszler's MMA skills have made her a versatile WWE performer and the fact that she's only been in WWE for four years leads to the belief that she is one of the company's younger stars.
Baszler is actually 40 years old and made the switch over to the wrestling business at the impressive age of 35. As stated, many of her skills are transferable which is why Baszler has been able to climb through the company so fast.
