Sports Illustrated just dropped a bombshell of a ranking, declaring Becky Lynch as the greatest WWE women’s wrestler of all time. As expected, the internet is already on fire with hot takes, passionate debates, and some serious side-eye at this controversial list.
SI claims the rankings were based on career accomplishments, match quality, character work, impact, influence, and legacy. But did they truly get it right?
Here’s their Top 10:
10. Alundra Blayze
9. Bianca Belair
8. Asuka
7. Chyna
6. Bayley
5. Sasha Banks
4. Lita
2. Charlotte Flair
1. Becky Lynch
No doubt, The Man has earned her place among the greats. Becky Lynch broke barriers, became the first woman to win a WrestleMania main event, and carried WWE through some of its toughest times. But is she truly above Charlotte Flair, Trish Stratus, and Lita?
Some glaring omissions have fans shaking their heads. Where’s Mickie James, a five-time WWE Women’s Champion with reigns in multiple promotions? No Beth Phoenix, the powerhouse who dominated her era? And what about AJ Lee, whose impact on the Women’s Evolution can’t be ignored?
Then, there’s the argument over Charlotte Flair. With 14 (and counting) WWE women’s championship reigns, she’s statistically the most dominant female superstar in history. Can Becky’s legacy really surpass The Queen?
Meanwhile, fans of Sasha Banks (aka Mercedes Moné) might feel slighted seeing her behind Bayley despite being one of the most decorated and influential wrestlers of the modern era.
And let’s talk about Bianca Belair at No. 9. While she’s an undeniable star, some might argue her legacy is still being written. Does she outrank veterans like Beth Phoenix and Mickie James already?
This list will be debated for years to come, but one thing is for sure: the women of WWE have built a legacy too strong to ignore. Whether you agree or disagree, Becky Lynch being named the GOAT proves that women’s wrestling is at an all-time high.
What do you think? Did Sports Illustrated get it right, or did they fumble the bag? Let us know in the comments!
