10 Female Wrestlers With The Longest Tenures In WWE History, Ranked

In the 1990s and 2000s, few female wrestlers lasted longer than a handful of years in WWE, but since the 2010s, it is almost common for a woman to surpass that mark and even work for more than 10 years in the company. Today there is longevity and a sense of loyalty, something that wasn't a common practice before.

We will not take into account cases like Trish Stratus, who is currently wrestling, two decades after her debut, but spent several years inactive. The tenure has to be uninterrupted, beyond a well-deserved rest of a couple of months, or an absence to recover from an injury. Let's take a look at the female wrestlers with the longest tenure in WWE history.

10 Sasha Banks (2012-2022):10 Years

After spending a couple of years in independent promotions, Sasha Banks signed a WWE contract in 2012. She started in NXT, where she won the Women's Championship and delivered several incredible matches, making her huge potential clear. Over the years, The Boss went on to have some memorable moments and built a memorable career, becoming one of the best women's wrestlers of all time. Banks left WWE in 2022 after problems with the creative team.

9 Alexa Bliss (2013-Present): 10 Years

Alexa Bliss was signed by WWE in 2013 despite having no professional experience. She trained for about a year until she made her televised in-ring debut on the May 15, 2014, episode of NXT in a match against Charlotte Flair. Bliss eventually made it to the main roster and won the RAW Women's Title three times, the SmackDown Women's Title twice and the Women's Tag Team Championship three times as well. Right now, Bliss is pregnant, but is still part of the WWE roster.

8 Becky Lynch (2013-Present): 10 Years

Becky Lynch started her professional wrestling career in 2004, and she is about to turn 20 years as professional. However, she came to WWE in 2013, after a long road and a lot of sacrifices. The rest, as they say, is history, as Becky became arguably the greatest female wrestler in WWE history.

"The Man" is a true game-changer, she has had several unforgettable moments and has built a unique legacy. Becky Lynch is already a greater-than-life character, but it seems that her career is far from over, and she will continue to rock in WWE.

7 Nikki Bella (2007-2018): 11 Years

Nikki Bella worked for WWE between 2007 and 2018. She first went through Florida Championship Wrestling, WWE's developmental promotion and then made her WWE debut in late 2008. She was a very important wrestler in the Divas division and contributed a lot to the development of women's wrestling. She was a two-time Divas Champion, including a 301-day reign. It is worth mentioning that we did not include Brie Bella because she took an extended hiatus and did not wrestle in 2017.

6 Bayley (2012-Present): 11 Years

Bayley signed with WWE in December 2012, and she made her televised debut on the March 20, 2013, episode of NXT, in a match against Paige (also known as Saraya). Bayley has always been pretty talented, so it wasn’t difficult for her to stand out and become a top female wrestler.

She is a Grand Slam Champion, she was a key player during the Pandemic Era, and she has had several great matches throughout her career. Bayley has been a fundamental wrestler in the women’s division for the last 10 years, and her mark on the industry will never be erased.

5 Charlotte Flair (2012-Present): 11 Years

Just like her father, Charlotte Flair has always been very passionate about wrestling, and she signed with WWE in 2012. On the July 17, 2013, episode of NXT, she made her in-ring debut, defeating Bayley. Charlotte eventually became The Queen, and she is now the female wrestler with the most Titles in WWE history, and, if it wasn’t enough, she could become the wrestler with the most World Titles overall. Charlotte has had many amazing matches, and great moments, proving that she is indeed Ric Flair’s daughter.

4 Alicia Fox (2006-2019): 13 Years

Alicia Fox is one of those few wrestlers who competed in Ohio Valley Wrestling, Florida Championship and also in NXT. She signed a contract with WWE in 2006 and was assigned to OVW. Then, when FCW emerged, Fox also competed there and eventually Fox also wrestled in NXT. She worked for WWE for 13 years and managed to win the Divas Championship once, but beyond that her career was not outstanding.

3 Naomi (2009-2022): 13 Years

Naomi, now known as Trinity, worked for WWE for 13 years, between 2009 and 2022. She began her career in Florida Championship Wrestling and in late 2012 she arrived and cemented her place on the main roster. Naomi was talented, but perhaps she was misused for most of her career. She was also unlucky, as injuries also got in her way. Still, she was a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion.

2 Tamina (2010-Present): 13 Years

Tamina made her WWE debut in 2010, and has worked for the company ever since. Truth be told, her career has been lackluster, she hasn't had any memorable moments and simply isn't as talented as most of her peers. Still, she has fulfilled her role as a monster heel and has managed to stay in the biggest wrestling company for 13 years, and that definitely deserves credit.

1 Natalya (2007-Present): 16 Years

The female wrestler with the longest tenure in WWE history is Natalya, with 16 years, and counting. Not to mention she already has more than 23 years of in-ring experience. Natalya has been an important player in the women’s division, and she has contributed a lot, both in and out of the ring. She has had some great moments, good matches, and you could say she has a guaranteed spot in the WWE Hall Of Fame.
