Women have played a vital role in the success of WWE. Over the years, WWE has given us some legendary female wrestlers such as Mae Young, Lita, Trish Stratus and many more.
In recent times WWE has started giving due importance to the women's division. In 2016, at WrestleMania 32, WWE Hall of Famer Lita introduced a new WWE women's championship belt and announced the retirement of the word "Divas". Now the female wrestlers are also known as superstars just like their male colleagues.
The female talent in WWE is quite exceptional. They produce some of the greatest matches you'll see in pro-wrestling. Lets look at the top 5 women wrestlers in WWE currently.
#5 Alexa Bliss
At number 5 on the list is "The Goddess" Alexa Bliss. Some will say that Alexa is not as talented or gifted as Becky or Charlotte, or any other superstar for that matter. Yes she might not be a technician like Becky, but she is an overall performer.
Alexa's biggest strength is her microphone skills which are very important in the WWE to succeed. She is also improving her in-ring ability. She wrestles with her instinct, and is ruthless at times.
Alexa is the best heel in the WWE currently. She is hugely responsible for the success of superstars like Charlotte and Ronda Rousey. Bliss might be playing the baddest villain, but still, she generates a huge buzz in the WWE Universe. People wait eagerly for her segments on RAW.
#4 Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch is one of the toughest women in the WWE. Her in-ring style is simply superb. Becky likes to go all out for each and every one of her matches, and the fans certainly seem to appreciate her effort.
Becky is a crisp technical wrestler. She has a diverse array of moves in her arsenal that makes her a stand out technician. Becky's submission game is of the best quality you'll find in the pro-wrestling arena. She has one of the most impressive submission manoeuvres in all of WWE, it is called as the "Dis-arm-her".
WWE was wasting a talent like Becky for months by involving her in meaningless feuds and storylines. But now her current feud with Charlotte has made her very popular among the WWE Universe, although WWE had portrayed her as a heel. Nonetheless, Becky is again in the title race, and rightfully so.
#3 Asuka
Without a doubt, the Japanese star Asuka is one of the best women wrestlers that WWE has to offer. Her phenomenal in-ring ability is what makes her stand apart.
Asuka has got some powerful striking which includes kicks, fore-arm assault, slaps, back fists and hip attacks. Whatever moves she strikes her opponents with, it always looks very painful. Asuka's submission game is also top notch. 'The Asuka Lock' is a unique choke-hold.
With such unique ability and talent, Asuka is being wasted by WWE. She has now become just a mid-card wrestler in the company at the moment. WWE certainly needs to push her up for championships, and give us some dream matches with the likes of Becky, Bliss, Rousey, and others.
#2 Ronda Rousey
Many eyes might be rolling seeing Ronda Rousey on this list as she is relatively new to the WWE. But lets not forget that she is one of the greatest mixed martial artists, and for her to be the best in the WWE isn't a big deal.
Ronda Rousey is a former UFC Champion. She has brought with her all the hardcore strikes from the UFC to the WWE. Rousey has acquainted herself very well in the current environment.
Rousey's debut at WrestleMania 34 in a mixed tag team match was very much appreciated by all. Her first ever singles match against Nia Jax for the RAW Women's Championship was incredible until Alexa Bliss cashed in her Money in the Bank contract and became champion.
Later in August, at SummerSlam, Rousey defeated Bliss for the championship in a very one-sided match. She is now the current RAW women's champion. Rousey is definitely one of the best wrestlers in the industry currently. She has limitless potential to leap forward in her in-ring abilities.
#1 Charlotte Flair
Charlotte Flair is currently the WWE SmackDown women's champion. She is already a 7-time women's champion. WWE is booking her as the face of the women's division.
Charlotte's freakish athletic ability separates her from the rest. Her strength and athletic abilities helps her pull off some mind blowing moves in the ring. Add to that, she has got the theatrics of her legendary father Ric Flair.
Her moves like Somersault Senton or finishing manoeuvres such as Natural Selection, or the Figure-Eight Leg-lock makes sure that the fans get their money's worth.
Charlotte's recent feud with her former best friend Becky Lynch has made her the female version of Roman Reigns. Fans have started to boo her and cheer for Becky, although the latter was supposed to be a heel.
Nonetheless, with her athletic in-ring abilities and fabulous mic skills, Charlotte Flair is the best female wrestler in the WWE currently.
