10 Wrestlers With Longest Time Between First & Last WWE Raw Matches

4. Alundra Blayze - 24 Years, 11 Months, 22 Days

First Raw Match: August 1st, 1994

Last Raw Match: July 22nd, 2019

As the chief representative of WWE's earnest attempt at revitalising women's wrestling in the early-1990s, Alundra Blayze could and should have had a far more successful tenure with the organisation than she did - certainly one that might have removed the temptation to lob the strap in the bin on the opposition's show when she left the company after just two years.

The date of her debut speaks volumes about the company's half in/half out philosophy with the league. Blayze won the title on an edition of Superstars and held nearly a full year before she made it between the Monday Night Raw ropes for a match with Luna Vachon that serviced a SummerSlam scorcher with Bull Nakano.

She was doing everything right with what little she was actually able to do, but the pattern of her booking never changed and she was considered a bit of a steel when WCW inevitably picked her up.

There was a tragic irony to her winning the 24/7 Championship in 2019 - the stint meant less than her two women's title reigns ever did, yet got the underserved profile her 1990s runs never did.
