Top 10 WWE Women's Title Reigns of All Time

#10: Rhea Ripley - WWE Womens World Championship

April 1, 2023 - April 15, 2024

Mami was always on top during her year-long reign, only stepping down due to injury. Launched by a legendary victory over Charlotte in a WrestleMania classic, Ripley set the tone for a reign defined by dominance. Though she had Dom Dom at her corner, Ripley still did all the heavy lifting. Whether squashing veterans like Natalya, or overcoming a powerhouse like Nia Jax in her home country at Elimination Chamber: Perth, Ripley stood tall every time. And with a resounding win over The Man Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL, Ripley gave her reign the ultimate stamp of authority. Sure, Judgment Day storylines limited her defenses, but Ripley still made the title feel like the biggest prize in the business.

#9: Liv Morgan - WWE Womens World Championship

May 25, 2024 - January 6, 2025

She may have held gold before, but the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour finally elevated Güerita into the main event. Morgan didnt just end Rhea Ripleys year-long reign she stole her spotlight, her man, and her place in The Judgment Day, igniting one of the hottest storylines in years. Despite limited defenses, Morgan made every title match feel like a prestige event, using shock and deception to hold on to her crown. From orchestrating Doms grand betrayal at SummerSlam to outsmarting challengers like Nia Jax and Iyo Sky at Crown Jewel and Saturday Nights Main Event, Morgan was always a step ahead. Driven by obsession and a touch of madness, her 226-day reign remains one of the most chaotic and entertaining title runs in WWE history.

#8: Alexa Bliss - Raw Womens Championship

August 28, 2017 - April 8, 2018

For nearly two years after her main roster debut, Alexa Bliss ruled over the womens division. Her second Raw Womens Championship reign represents her peak, with some fans even calling it the Reign of Terror. Everyone from Bayley, Sasha Banks, Mickie James, and more fell before her, with Bliss using every trick in the book to outsmart and outclass her opponents. Fantastic character work and sharp mic skills truly set her apart, making The Goddess feel like a commanding champion with her rightful place on the throne. Was she pushed a little too hard at the expense of her fellow stars? Maybe. But Bliss owned every minute at the top, and the WWE Universe knew it.

#7: Michelle McCool - WWE Womens Championship

June 28, 2009 - January 31, 2010

LayCool shared the Womens and Divas Championship for the better part of two years. But it was McCools first reign that laid the groundwork. Although she was the official champion, LayCools partnership symbolized this reign. Their treatment of Mickie James remains problematic, but the reign brought some much-needed attention to a declining womens division. Not only did McCool win Divas a regular spot on PPVs like The Bash, she kept the title relevant when few were willing to give it a chance. Together with Layla, McCool made the most of a tough era, thanks to a mix of comedy, controversy and in-ring skill. Looking back, it stands as the saving grace for a challenging time for women in the WWE.

#6: Becky Lynch - Raw Womens Championship

April 8, 2019 - May 10, 2020

There was no stopping The Man in her meteoric rise, culminating with her historic win in the main event of WrestleMania. Lynch didnt disappoint as a champion either, carrying the roster through the rest of the year and into the pandemic, bringing major attention to the womens division. During her reign, Lynch became the face of the company, following up the WrestleMania main event by headlining Survivor Series the same year. For 398 days, the Raw Womens Championship was The title, elevating challengers like Lacey Evans, Shayna Baszler, and Asuka. Having brought the womens division on par with the mens, Lynch stepped away on her own terms for maternity leave, never losing her star power.

#5: Trish Stratus - WWE Womens Championship

January 9, 2005 - April 2, 2006

Before the womens division was revived in the mid-2010s, Trish Stratuss 448-day reign stood as the gold standard of the 21st century. Along with headlining high-profile womens feuds, Stratus was involved in key storylines across the card, keeping the Womens Championship consistently relevant. Her rivalries with Melina and Mickie James remain outrageously memorable, with standout matches at Survivor Series and WrestleMania. Whether as a heel or babyface, crowds were firmly behind her all the way through. A four-month injury couldnt derail Stratuss momentum either, as fans remained invested even without a title defense. Her reign may have ended at WrestleMania 22, but putting Mickie over was the perfect ending to a truly legendary run.

#4: Bianca Belair - Raw Womens Championship

April 2, 2022 - May 27, 2023

The EST had one of the Great-EST, Badd-EST, and Tough-EST reigns in WWE history. Bianca Belair won the SmackDown Womens championship at the Grand-EST Stage of Them All, but it was her Raw Womens title reign that made her a legend. Much like John Cena in his prime, Belair became the ultimate babyface, defeating heels with pure guts and unmatched athleticism. Her reign inspired young girls everywhere, proving that hard work and a little belief can make any dreams come true. Memorable feuds with Becky Lynch, Asuka, and Bayley pushed her into superstardom. And her 420-day reign the second-longest of the modern era proved that EST isnt just a catchphrase; its a fact of life.

#3: Asuka - NXT Womens Championship

April 1, 2016 - September 6, 2017

As her catchphrase goes, nobodys ready for Asuka, and a 522-day undefeated reign more than backs it up. Her remarkable run at the top broke all sorts of records, surpassing Goldbergs winning streak, Rockin' Robins 502-day Womens Championship reign, and every title reign in NXT history. It was never about if shed win it was how shed triumph. But the quality of her matches set Asuka apart. Although they all fell short, she made every challenger look like worthy contenders. As a fighting champion, Asuka became the anchor of NXT, representing the brand during what many consider its golden era. Although injury cut her reign short, its fitting that the most dominant NXT title reign ended only when Asuka said so.

#2: AJ Lee - Divas Championship

June 16, 2013 - April 7, 2014

WWE underwent a long-overdue change with the #GiveDivasAChance movement. And it was all thanks to AJ Lee. At a time when the Divas Championship was little more than a prop, AJ made it mean something. Beginning as an unhinged outsider, AJs mean streak and cold confidence quickly turned her into the face of the Divas division. Her iconic Pipebombshell promo didnt just call out the roster, it forced the WWE to give women the spotlight they deserved. She backed up her words in the ring, taking on all challengers and winning real fan investment. Although many feel she retired too early, the legacy of her Divas title reign continues to be felt across the WWE to this day.

#1: Bayley - SmackDown Womens Championship

October 11, 2019 - October 25, 2020

Ding Dong! Hello! Who else but everyones favorite role model. After ditching the Hugger gimmick, Bayley showed all of us idiots what a real champion looks like. Her bubbly charm transformed into a loudmouth heel we couldnt help but love. Despite facing a lineup of top names like Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, Naomi, Asuka, and many more, Bayley proved that you dont need to be a fighting champion to win you just need to be a smart one. Rebranding herself as one of the Golden Role Models, the layers behind Bayleys character made her an absolutely must-see champion. Her 379-day reign ended in a classic Hell in a Cell match with Banks, closing out a legendary, record-breaking run that delivered on every level.
