Let us begin this list by stating the obvious, which is that it does not include Superstars from WWE NXT, which will be a separate list on the SK Wrestling platform.
Also, if you want to check out our list of top male Superstars from WWE RAW and SmackDown, please do click right here.
Choosing the top 5 female WWE Superstars is a far more difficult task than the male version, primarily because while the first 4 names are obvious, the 5th position is far more difficult to determine.
Feel free to disagree with any of the names in this list, by stating your thoughts and views in the comments section.
#5 WWE RAW Superstar Mandy Rose
Why was Mandy Rose chosen ahead of other Superstars such as Bianca Belair, Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Nikki Cross, and Dana Brooke? Even though she has only been involved in two high-profile angles this year, it's a lot more than most other female performers. Mandy Rose defeated Sonya Deville at WrestleMania, in a match that made news for all the wrong reasons but was still a very noteworthy angle.
Even though her storyline with Otis was randomly dropped for no rhyme or reason, Mandy Rose did not have to sit on the sidelines for long because she was paired with Dana Brooke and booked very strongly in the WWE RAW brand.
She suffered an injury soon after but we are glad to report that she is healthy and back in the mix once again, aiming for tag team gold. One has to believe that she will be a possible contender for the WWE RAW Women's Championship too, sooner rather than later. Mandy Rose may have the potential to become the next big thing in WWE, in the year 2021.
#4 WWE RAW Superstar Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss may be an odd choice in this list because she did not exactly set the world on fire with her wrestling matches. But the reason many of us are wrestling fans is because of our affinity towards character work, and Alexa Bliss may just have the most compelling character in WWE right now.
Channeling her inner Harley Quinn, Alexa Bliss has dropped her 'Goddess' avatar and formed a partnership with The Fiend, the monstrosity that haunts the WWE RAW brand. She is the perfect companion to The Fiend, adding color and depth to his already intriguing character.
The tale of Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, while not exactly a feud that set the world on fire, is still gripping and so very different from anything else on WWE television. Alexa Bliss has always been a top-tier Superstar in WWE, but this current incarnation may just be the most compelling one yet.
Could she be involved in a feud with Asuka soon enough, to take her Championship away from her?
#3 WWE RAW Women's Champion, Asuka
WWE broke new ground this year with the cinematic match during WrestleMania and then took it to a brand new level at Money in the Bank, where, for the first time, the match happened inside WWE Headquarters.
Asuka went on to win the Money in the Bank contract and did not have to wait long to cash it in because Becky Lynch relinquished her WWE RAW Women's Championship and took a leave of absence from the company on the basis of motherhood.
The only reason why Asuka is so low on this list is that WWE has not really booked her as a formidable Champion, even delegating her to the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship picture at the tail end of the year.
That said, the current version of Asuka is goofy, hilarious, entertaining, and over-the-top, and yet when the bell rings, she becomes the deadly performer we've come to know and love in WWE.
One hopes that 2021 will be kinder to her than this current year has been.
#2 WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks
It genuinely was a very difficult task to pick the top female performer in WWE this year, considering that Sasha Banks very narrowly missed out on the Number 1 spot. Sasha Banks went from a heel and a sidekick of Bayley, to the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion and arguably the most 'over' female performer in the whole company. She looks like a star, carries herself like a top-tier WWE performer, and even if she tries, cannot have a bad match.
Let it also be known that in addition to being the current WWE SmackDown Women's Champion, Sasha Banks also captured the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Bayley earlier in the very same year.
Many believe that the contest that Bayley and Sasha Banks put on at Hell in a Cell was arguably the best WWE match this year. In the eyes of some members of the WWE Universe, it was even greater than the 'Greatest Wrestling Match Ever', an honor bestowed upon Edge and Randy Orton ahead of their epic contest.
#1 WWE SmackDown Superstar Bayley
Remember how the consensus used to be that when John Cena calls it quits, there would be a female version of Cena named Bayley, who would take WWE and the sports entertainment fraternity by storm with almost the same gimmick?
That never came to pass because the babyface version of Bayley, as good as it was, pales in comparison to her current WWE persona, that of a vicious heel.
Not only has she carried the WWE SmackDown Women's Division on her back, but Bayley also became the longest-reigning SmackDown Women's Champion in 2020, setting a 380-day record. Plus, Bayley also became 'Bayley Dos Straps' this year, with Sasha Banks, and the two of them were engaged in arguably the hottest feud in WWE, this year.
Even though it does seem that she's climbed down a rung or two at the tail end of the year, it's impossible to dispute that no female Superstar has had the kind of year that Bayley has had, in WWE. And she has two words for you - "Ding Dong"!
