10 Most Dominant WWE Women's Champions
WWE's Women's Evolution is five years old, but who has spent the most time on top of the mountain?
Dissecting the time a pro wrestler spends as a champion should always be done in a somewhat quizzical manner. This isn't Jahangir Khan's 555 game winning streak, after all. But should long reigns be dismissed in such a cynical way? Easy to say yes, but also easy to deal with the violence of Shayna Baszler from the safety of the keyboard. Even so, keep that pinch of salt handy.
WWE recently posted an image detailing the successful women to rack up the most days as champion, a graphic celebrating the achievements of those to win the many titles available to females in WWE. Who dominates the statistics, and how dominant were those days as champion? That latter point is somewhat subjective but certain characteristics will help a performer stand out in such a fashion. A predilection for violence, for one.
But the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for... wait, wrong meeting. If it feels like a handful of women have held WWE's available women's titles over the last five years then that is because, well, they have. In many ways, the following list of women is doubly interesting for the names that don't make the cut, superstars who have dominated the headlines but failed to rule the roost.
Who has ruled that roost more than the rest?
10. Toni Storm - 230 Days
This jaunt through who statistics deem the most dominant women's champions in WWE begins with Toni Storm, the sort of talent that entire divisions should be built around by this point. The Kiwi is one of the most impressive pro wrestlers on her entire generation, as comfortable portraying the fiery babyface as she is the arrogant heel. Storm is a throwback to a time long gone, when women's wrestling was every bit as physical and intense as that of the men. In short, Toni Storm is fantastic.
Despite all this, WWE has decided that keeping Toni Storm on NXT UK (for the most part) is the best way to use her talent. Storm was the second-ever NXT UK Women's Champion, managing to overcome Rhea Ripley at NXT TakeOver: Blackpool back in January 2019. She held the title for 230 days before dropping it to Kay Lee Ray in Cardiff. Her reign wasn't particularly eventful, although it did give fans a number of good matches.
The winner of the 2018 Mae Young Classic, Toni Storm is already a seasoned veteran at the age of 24, an elite-level performer with the world at her feet. It is a shame that the world in question is behind the glass ceiling of WWE's curious booking tendencies, but there we go.
