Rhea Ripley Tops PWI’s Women’s 250 List

Rhea Ripley is a WWE superstar who is currently in her first reign as the Women’s World Champion. Ripley made her in-ring debut in 2014, and is currently affiliated with The Judgement Day stable.

In 2023, Ripley started her year off strong by winning the women’s Royal Rumble match from the number one entrant position. ‘The Eradicator’ followed that up by successfully challenging Charlotte Flair for the Women’s World Championship (fka SmackDown Women’s Championship) on night one of WrestleMania 39 in a match that many have hailed as the match of the night.

Ripley has held the championship for over 200 days now, making her the second longest-reigning titleholder. Her next title defense will be at Crown Jewel on Saturday, November 4, and she will be in a fatal five-way match.

Here is the top 10 list:

1. Rhea Ripley (WWE)
