Who Was The Best WWE Raw Women's Champion Ever?

At Night Of Champions 2023, Asuka defeated Bianca Belair to end Bianca Belair's RAW Women's Title reign, and what a reign it was. The EST was a champion for the ages, perhaps the best RAW Women's Champion in WWE history. However, there is someone who also has arguments to say that she was the best Raw Women's Champion ever, and that is Becky Lynch.

We're talking specifically about Becky Lynch's first Raw Women's Title reign, the one that lasted 399 days and saw "The Man" reach the top of the mountain. So, both Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch were excellent champions, but who was the best? We'll see below.

8 Bianca Belair: Longest Raw Women’s Title Reign Ever

Bianca Belair held the Raw Women's Title for 420 days, the longest in history. In fact, it's the longest Women's Title reign in the modern era, and you have to travel back to 2006 to see a longer reign (Trish Stratus 448-day Women's Title reign). Certainly, length is not all that makes a reign great, but no one can deny that it matters.

So, the fact that Bianca Belair was the Raw Women's Champion for almost 14 months is a solid argument that she was the best red brand female champion ever.

7 Becky Lynch: She Never Lost

In case you forgot, Becky Lynch never lost the Raw Women's Championship in her first reign. That's right, she had to relinquish the title due to her pregnancy. The Man defeated Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania 36, so she had the momentum to hold the title for a few more months, and her reign would have been longer, but she had to drop the title after 399 days.

So, Becky Lynch finished her title reign undefeated, and that makes her reign unique. The funny thing is that Asuka earned the Raw Women’s Championship after winning the Money In The Bank Ladder match, so, the Japanese star was the champion after the two best Raw Women’s Title reigns.

6 Bianca Belair: Top-Notch Title Defenses

Bianca Belair's Raw Women's Title reign was excellent because she had top-notch title defenses, and almost all of her matches were great. The Triple Threat match against Becky Lynch and Asuka, the singles match against Lynch at SummerSlam, the pair of matches versus Bayley, the bout against IYO SKY, and the two matches against Asuka, all those matches were top-notch.

Becky Lynch, on the other hand, only had three outstanding title defenses, two against Asuka, and the memorable Hell In A Cell match versus Sasha Banks.

5 Becky Lynch: Terrific Promos

Becky Lynch is one of the best female talkers in sports entertainment history, so it's no wonder her title reign was full of great promos. Lynch spoke like an authentic champion, she spoke from the heart, with passion, and she was so natural at it.

Also, her character work was flawless, not to mention she was at the top of her game as “The Man”, which is arguably the greatest character in women’s wrestling history. Bianca Belair, on the other hand, has cut good promos, but nowhere near Becky Lynch’s level.

4 Bianca Belair: Dominant Champion

Bianca Belair has been dominant since she made her main roster debut, and her Raw Women's Title reign was no exception. Some fans compared Bianca Belair to John Cena because she defeated all of her challengers and proved to be the best time and time again.

The EST has credibility because of her extraordinary strength and athleticism, and that's why she was such a great champion. She lost the title because Asuka cheated. Belair is fast becoming one of the most dominant women in WWE history if she isn't already.

3 Becky Lynch: Entertaining From Start To Finish

It's because of Bianca Belair's dominance that fans were already getting bored with her reign because it's unusual to see a babyface dominate like that. Not to mention that Belair's character has become monotonous. Becky Lynch, on the other hand, had an entertaining title reign from start to finish.

Lacey Evans certainly wasn't the best choice for Becky's first feud as champion, but it was still entertaining thanks to The Man. Lynch had some great moments as champion, and it seems like her reign ended when it was getting more interesting.

2 Bianca Belair: Best Title Win

When Becky Lynch defeated Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the main event of WrestleMania 35 it was a memorable moment, but Bianca Belair's victory over Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 38 was much better.

Bianca's storyline was perfect since she lost in a squash match to Becky Lynch at SummerSlam 2021, she went to the back of the line, worked hard, got better, and beat Lynch in a phenomenal match. It was a perfect title win.

1 Becky Lynch: Gave Prestige To The Title

Before Becky Lynch, the Raw Women’s Title was on several shoulders. Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, Ronda Rousey, and Bayley, but none of them had a memorable title reign.

Then, Becky Lynch came and elevated and gave prestige to the title like no other woman has. The Man’s matches, promos, and character work were outstanding. Fans loved Becky and wanted to see her hold the title longer.
