There is no official WWE ranking of its women Hall of Famers. This list is an editorial ranking of the 21 women in the standard Hall of Fame list through Stephanie McMahon’s 2026 induction, followed by six Legacy Wing honorees in a separate section. The ranking weighs in-ring achievement, influence on women’s wrestling, career longevity, prominence across WWE eras, and contributions beyond competition. Executives and managers are judged for their impact in those roles rather than treated as though they had the same in-ring résumé as wrestlers.
“Every woman” here means the women named in those standard and Legacy lists. The compiled roster used for the list excludes Warrior Award recipients, a distinct Hall of Fame category; it does not silently fold them into the ranking. The roster is a compiled list, not a WWE-endorsed order.

Who are the women in the WWE Hall of Fame?
The standard list contains 21 entries through 2026, including the Bella Twins as one entry and Chyna’s induction as part of D-Generation X. The separate Legacy Wing list contains six women. The induction years and names below follow a compiled roster; WWE’s official 2026 results page confirms Stephanie McMahon’s induction, but WWE does not publish a comparative ranking.
Every woman in the standard WWE Hall of Fame, ranked
This order is an editorial judgment, not an official WWE assessment. It balances career achievements, historical influence, longevity, WWE prominence, and work outside the ring; no one factor, including championship count, defines greatness across different eras and roles.

#1 Best Overall
- On March 13th, 2004 - The night before WrestleMania XX - World Wrestling Entertainment held a very special ceremony to induct 11 legends, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Don Muraco, Big John Studd, Junkyard Dog, "Superstar" Billy Graham, Sgt. Slaughter, Tito Santana, Harley Race, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and Pete Rose, into its hallowed Hall of Fame. These are the highlights
- Trish Stratus (2013). Her place at the top reflects the combination of in-ring success, sustained prominence, and influence during a period when women’s wrestling gained greater visibility in WWE. Her career makes her a strong all-around choice under a rubric that values both achievement and broader impact.
- Lita (2014). A defining performer of her era, Lita’s high-risk style and popularity helped shape expectations for women’s matches and presentation. Her influence and in-ring identity make her case stronger than a tally of accolades alone.
- The Fabulous Moolah (1995). Moolah’s decades-long career and historical reach make her one of the most consequential figures in women’s wrestling. WWE describes her career as spanning “over 50 years” and characterizes her as having made her name synonymous with women’s wrestling; that is WWE’s account, not an independently established cross-sport longevity comparison.
- Mae Young (2008). Young’s place in wrestling history rests on a career that crossed generations and on her enduring association with women’s wrestling. Her legacy is especially significant when longevity and influence are weighed alongside competitive accomplishments.
- Alundra Blayze (2015). Blayze was a standout wrestler in the 1990s and a prominent figure in the effort to establish women’s competition as a serious part of WWE programming. Her technical reputation and historical importance earn her a high position.
- Beth Phoenix (2017). Phoenix represented a powerful, credible style of women’s wrestling and became a major competitor in her era. Her combination of championship-level prominence and a distinctive in-ring presence places her among the division’s strongest modern figures.
- Sherri Martel (2006). Martel made an impact as both a wrestler and a manager. Her range matters: she brought credibility and personality to multiple roles, extending her influence beyond the matches she wrestled.
- Wendi Richter (2010). Richter’s prominence in the 1980s helped make women’s wrestling a visible part of WWE’s expanding national profile. Her historical importance is substantial, even though her WWE run was shorter than some careers ranked above her.
- Jacqueline (2016). A versatile and respected competitor, Jacqueline stood out across multiple periods and helped maintain the division’s credibility. Longevity and adaptability strengthen her case.
- Chyna, inducted as a member of D-Generation X (2019). Chyna changed perceptions of what a woman could do in WWE, competing in a prominent role in a male-dominated setting. Her cultural impact is exceptional; her Hall of Fame recognition came through the group induction rather than a standard solo class induction.
- Ivory (2018). Ivory combined longevity, character work, and in-ring ability across distinct WWE eras. Her career is a useful example of how consistency and adaptability can matter as much as a single defining run.
- Molly Holly (2021). Holly earned respect for her technical skill and professionalism, and her work has remained influential among fans and peers. Her ranking reflects the strength of her wrestling career, while recognizing that her WWE profile was less central than those above her.
- Bull Nakano (2024). Nakano brought a formidable reputation and a distinctive style to women’s wrestling. Her inclusion recognizes the importance of international talent and the broader wrestling history that reaches beyond WWE’s own roster.
- Michelle McCool (2025). McCool was a leading competitor during her WWE tenure and helped anchor the women’s division in her era. Her position reflects a strong career and prominence, balanced against the longer historical influence of those higher up.
- The Bella Twins (2020). Brie and Nikki Bella became major personalities in WWE and helped bring greater mainstream attention to women’s wrestling. They are listed together in the compiled roster, and this ranking treats the induction as one entry rather than splitting the twins into separate positions.
- Sunny (2011). Sunny was a highly visible personality during WWE’s 1990s programming. Her impact was primarily as an on-screen presence rather than as an in-ring standard-bearer, which places her lower under a rubric that gives substantial weight to wrestling accomplishments.
- Torrie Wilson (2019). Wilson was a recognizable WWE personality in the early 2000s and later became a prominent figure in the division’s history. Her Hall of Fame place reflects that visibility, though her competitive résumé is not as extensive as those ranked higher.
- Stacy Keibler (2023). Keibler’s charisma and distinctive presentation made her a memorable WWE personality. Her influence was strongest outside the ring, so her ranking is lower when compared with performers whose impact was more directly tied to competition.
- Sharmell (2022). Sharmell’s WWE contribution came primarily through an on-screen role rather than a long wrestling career. The ranking recognizes the value of that work while distinguishing it from the in-ring achievements of many other inductees.
- Lia Maivia (2024). Maivia’s recognition represents a contribution to wrestling history beyond performing in WWE’s ring. With less comparable in-ring evidence than most of the standard-list inductees, her placement is necessarily more dependent on the broader influence captured by Hall of Fame recognition.
- Stephanie McMahon (2026). McMahon’s case is built on a different mix of work: WWE identifies her as a former Women’s Champion and notes her on-screen and corporate leadership roles. WWE’s 2026 results page reports that her mother, Linda McMahon, and her daughters inducted her. Her extensive organizational and cultural influence is significant, but this ranking puts greater weight on sustained in-ring accomplishment.
Legacy Wing women, listed separately
The Legacy Wing honors historical figures in a distinct category. These six names are not standard individual class inductions in the list above, and they are not assigned ordinal ranks here because the compiled roster identifies the category rather than establishing an evidence-based comparison among its members.
- Mildred Burke (2016)
- June Byers (2017)
- Judy Grable (2017)
- Cora Combs (2018)
- Luna Vachon (2019)
- Ethel Johnson (2021)
What this ranking can—and cannot—tell you
Hall of Fame membership records WWE’s recognition; it does not supply a common measure for comparing a pioneering wrestler, a long-running competitor, a manager, an executive, and a cultural personality. The ranking therefore reflects the stated criteria, not a definitive answer to who was “greatest.” Induction year indicates when WWE honored someone, not where that person belongs in an all-time order.
Rank #2
For the newest entry, WWE’s 2026 Hall of Fame results confirm Stephanie McMahon’s induction and identify her inductors. WWE’s Stephanie McMahon profile describes her former championship and leadership roles. Its Fabulous Moolah profile provides WWE’s characterization of her career. Streaming pathways for WWE content listed on the results page vary by region, so availability of a particular ceremony or archive depends on location and current catalog.
