WWE Hall of Fame: Every Female Inductee, Ranked

Women's wrestling in WWE has gone through peaks and valleys and is the best it has ever been right now. For many years, it was all just about the Fabulous Moolah. Then there was a peak in the '80s with the Rock and Wrestling Connection, another peak in the Attitude Era, and then the Divas Revolution leading to the Women's Evolution.

This included wrestlers, valets, and managers, and there is a strong mix of them all in the WWE Hall of Fame. After this year's ceremony, there will be a total of 16 women in the WWE Hall of Fame. Here is a look at every woman in the WWE Hall of Fame, ranked.

Updated on March 13, 2022, by Shawn S. Lealos: WWE began the WWE Hall of Fame in 1993 with Andre the Giant and inducted the first woman in 1995 with The Fabulous Moolah. It took 11 years before another woman received an induction. It seemed that every year, there were more men inducted and WWE mostly ignored its female legends.

That all changed in 2013 with Trish Stratus, and every year since then, WWE has inducted one woman. In 2022, the trend continued with Queen Sharmell named to the WWE Hall of Fame. While she was not a wrestler, it allowed the company to continue to honor the women who often meant as much to the company, and in the case of some inductees, even more than some of the men inducted each year.

16 Queen Sharmell (2022)

WWE named Queen Sharmell as the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame female inductee. Sharmell was not a wrestler in WWE, although she competed in the ring every so often. She was a former Miss Black America in 1991 and followed that up with a dance career. This led her to WCW, where she was part of the Nitro Girls and eventually a valet for The Artist.

Sharmell joined WWE hoping to become a wrestler, training in Ohio Valley before she ended up on the main roster in 2005 as a valet for her husband Booker T. With the two taking on the roles of King Booker and Queen Sharmell, they ended up as heat-seeking heels, bringing back memories of Sensational Sherri and Macho King Randy Savage. She finally got the chance to wrestle when she went to TNA with Booker T, but retired in 2009.

Championships and Honors:

• Miss Black America (1991)

15 TORRIE WILSON (2019)

Torrie Wilson might have had the best WWE Hall of Fame speech for any woman, talking about her road to her induction. She was a true inspiration at the time of her 2019 induction. However, when it comes to the women in the Hall of Fame, she did the least.

She started in WCW before moving on to WWE. She spent almost her entire career as a valet or manager but did manage to wrestle part-time in WWE. Torrie never won a title in professional wrestling but was a big part of the Ruthless Aggression Era.

Championships and Honors:

• None

14 JACQUELINE (2016)

Jacqueline went into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016. She was part of the WWE from 1998 to 2004, one of the wrestlers during the Attitude Era. Before entering WWE, Jacqueline was hugely successful, winning the USWA title 14 times.

In WWE, she was also successful, with two Women's Championship title reigns, including serving as the inaugural champion when WWE brought the title back in 1998. She even beat Chavo Guerrero once for the men's Cruiserweight Championship and held it for nine days.

She was also a ringside correspondent and was the most popular sex symbol in WWE throughout the early '90s. WWE added her to the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011, although she burned her bridges there in later years.

Championships and Honors:

• None

12 WENDI RICHTER (2010)

Wendi Richter was the face of WWE during the '80s and was the woman that WWE turned to so they could move on from the long tenure of Fabulous Moolah as the top face in women's wrestling.

Richter had her most significant moment at the Brawl for All when she won the women's title, ending a reported 28-year title reign for Moolah. She then won her second title at the first WrestleMania from Leilani Kai, with pop star Cyndi Lauper in her corner.

10 BELLA TWINS (2020)

The Bella Twins are the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame inductees. While many fans slam them for their role in WWE and their induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, they did a lot in the company to deserve the honor. Their Twin Magic gimmick was a great one when they debuted, and Nikki Bella carried the Divas division on her back until AJ Lee and Paige arrived.

Nikki was a two-time Divas Champion, and Brie held the title once. They were also responsible for the reality show Total Divas, which brought a bright spotlight on all of the WWE women.

Championships and Honors:

• WWE Divas Championship (3 times) – Brie Bella (1), Nikki Bella (2)

9 MOLLY HOLLY (2021)

Molly Holly was the only woman inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021. Molly got her big break in WCW when she showed up as a part of Macho Man Randy Savage's Team Madness. It was there that she proved to be someone who could pull off great moves in the ring, and she showed it more when she arrived in WWE.

She worked as part of the Holly Family with Hardcore Holly and Crash Holly and eventually moved into a new gimmick when she took on the superhero name Mighty Molly. Along the way, she won the women's title twice, beating Trish Stratus for her first and Gail Kim for her second.

As an active wrestler, she was dominant, debuting in 2006 as a muscular powerhouse bigger than most of the women wrestlers. She won the Women's Championship three times and the Divas Championship once for a total of 571 days.

Championships and Honors:

• WWE Divas Championship (1 time)
• WWE Women's Championship (3 times)

7 MAE YOUNG (2008)

Mae Young was one of the most beloved women's wrestlers in WWE history. However, most of her career was not in WWE. Young started wrestling in 1941 and is one of only two wrestlers to ever compete in seven decades (Lou Thesz was the second).

RELATED: The Most Endearing Oddball Couples In WWE History, RankedIn 1999, Mae Young showed up in WWE at the age of 76 with her close friend Fabulous Moolah. She wrestled that year.

6 FABULOUS MOOLAH (1995)

Fabulous Moolah has lost a lot of respect from fans over the years due to recent allegations of how she treated other women during her time in professional wrestling. However, her accomplishments speak for themselves.

Moolah was a five-time NWA Women's Champion for a total of 9,925 days. She was a WWF Women's Champion four times for a total of 10,708 days. The lack of competition and the fact that she mostly booked herself to win keep her ranked lower than others on this list.

Championships and Honors:

• WWE Women's Championship (4 times)
• NWA World Women's Championship (5 times)
• NWA World Women's Tag Team Championship (3 times)

5 SENSATIONAL SHERRI (2006)

The early to mid-90s was a bad time for WWE women's wrestling. At one point, they eliminated their women's title. This hurt most female wrestlers in the company, but Sherri Martel bounced back quite nicely. Martel was a top women's wrestler, winning the WWF Women's Championship once for an incredible 441 days.

She then moved on to become a manager, managing both Macho Man Randy Savage and Shawn Michaels before leaving WWE to manage Ric Flair and Harlem Heat in WCW.

Championships and Honors:

• WWE Women's Championship (1 time)
• AWA World Women's Championship (3 times)
• IWA Women's Championship (1 time)

4 LITA (2014)

Lita was one of the top stars in WWE during the Attitude Era for a good reason. She started as a valet for Essa Rios before hooking up with the Hardy Boyz. She went on to work with them as a valet until she stepped into the ring and developed one of the best rivalries in women's wrestling history with Trish Stratus.

Lita went on to hold the women's title four times for 160 days. She then finished her career as the valet for Edge, becoming one of the top heels in the company.

Championships and Honors:

• WWE Women's Championship (4 times)

3 CHYNA (2019)

Chyna is the only woman on this list who was not inducted as a female entrant to the WWE Hall of Fame. However, in 2019, Chyna entered the Hall of Fame posthumously as part of Degeneration X. Her induction was deserved, even on her own merits.

While she was the bodyguard for Triple H for years, she was also a former WWE Women's Champion. She held the men's WWE Intercontinental Championship on two occasions, beating Jeff Jarrett and Chris Jericho.

Championships and Honors:

• WWE Intercontinental Championship (2 times)
• WWE Women's Championship (1 time)
• IWF Women's Championship (1 time)

2 ALUNDRA BLAYZE (2015)

The best female WWE superstar in the '90s was easily Alundra Blayze. She finally entered the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015, and the only reason it took her so long was because of how she left the company.

However, in the '90s, Blayze was a three-time WWE Women's Champion for a total of 539 days, the third-longest in history. She was also the last WWE Women's Champion for three years. As Madusa Miceli, she was also a one-time WCW Women's Champion and a one-time AWA Women's Champion.

1 TRISH STRATUS (2013)

The top female superstar in the WWE Hall of Fame is Trish Stratus. This is impressive since she signed with WWE as a manager, and her previous job was as a fitness trainer. However, she was one of the top stars and soon trained for her in-ring career.

She then became the top female wrestler in the Attitude Era and the Ruthless Aggression Era. She was a seven-time Women's Champion for a total of 828 days and retired as champion.

Championships and Honors:

• WWE Hardcore Championship (1 time)
