Who is the Longest Reigning WWE Women’s Champion?

In this blog post, we’ll take a look at who is the longest reigning WWE Women’s Champion. We’ll also discuss why this is an important title to hold and what it takes to be a champion.

The Longest Reigning WWE Women’s Champions

The WWE women’s championship is a professional wrestling championship in WWE. It is contested by the female performers of WWE. The title was first introduced in 1956 as the WWE Women’s World Championship. The current champion is Asuka, who is in her second reign. She is also the longest reigning WWE women’s champion.

The Fabulous Moolah

The fabulously wealthy Moolah was born Lillian Ellison on July 22, 1923, in Kershaw, South Carolina. After marrying Walter Carroll in 1940 and starting a family, Ellison began to pursue a career in wrestling. Adopting the name “Slave Girl Moolah,” Ellison toured the country, sparring with some of the most notable female wrestlers of her time.

In 1956, Moolah defeated “The Princess” to become the NWA World Women’s Champion. She held onto the title for an astounding ten years before finally losing it to Debbie Johnson in 1966. Over the next two decades, Moolah would regain and lose the title several more times; her final reign ended in 1988 when she was defeated by “The Queen of Wrestling” Jackie Passion.

In all, Moolah held the title for a combined total of nearly 28 years – making her by far the longest-reigning WWE Women’s Champion in history.

Wendi Richter

Wendi Richter is an American bodybuilder, actress, and retired professional wrestler. She is best known for her time with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the 1980s. In 1985, she defeated The Fabulous Moolah to win the WWF Women’s Championship, becoming the youngest champion in history at the age of 21. She held the title for 227 days until losing it back to Moolah at The War to Settle the Score. Richter left the WWF in 1986 after a contract dispute and a controversial loss to The Fabulous Moolah at Madison Square Garden.

Leilani Kai was a 2-time WWE Women’s Champion, holding the title for a combined 569 days. She is the only woman to have held the title for more than one reign.

The Women’s Championship

The WWE Women’s Championship is a professional wrestling world championship contested for by the women of WWE. however, its origins date back to the National Wrestling Alliance where it was known as the NWA World Women’s Championship. it became the WCW Women’s Championship when WCW seceded from the NWA. The title was then unified with the WWF Women’s Championship when WWF bought WCW in 2001.

The title’s lineage

The title’s lineage can be traced back to the NWA World Women’s Championship, which was created in 1950. The championship was widely recognized as the top women’s title in professional wrestling until the late 1980s, when a number of promotions began to create their own women’s titles. In those promotions, the holder of the NWA World Women’s Championship was generally recognized as the one true “world champion.”

In 1992, WWF (now WWE) introduced its own women’s championship, the WWF Women’s Championship. The inaugural champion was Alundra Blayze (also known as Madusa), who won a tournament to crown a new champion after the title was vacated by Sensational Sherri. The WWF Title remained the primary women’s championship in WWE until 1998, when a second women’s title, the WWF Women’s Tag Team Championship, was created.

In 2008, WWE revived the Women’s Championship as the WWE Divas Championship and crowned its first champion in a tournament won by Maryse Ouellet. The Divas Title remained WWE’s primary women’s championship until 2016, when it was retired and replaced by two new titles: the Raw Women’s Championship and SmackDown Women’s Championship.

The title’s importance

The WWE Women’s Championship is a professional wrestling world championship for female wrestlers. It is one of two women’s titles in the WWE, alongside the WWE Divas Championship, which was created for the SmackDown brand in 2008; a third women’s title, the NXT Women’s Championship, is contested on the NXT brand. The current champion is Ronda Rousey, who is in her first reign.

The inaugural champion was The Fabulous Moolah, who won the title at Madison Square Garden on September 18, 1956. She held the title for almost ten years before losing it to Wendi Richter at The Brawl to End it All on July 23, 1985. Richter then became the inaugural WWF Women’s Champion when she defeated Leilani Kai to win the title on November 7, 1985. Richter held the title until she was defeated by The Spider Lady ( better known as The Fabulous Moolah in disguise) on November 24, 1985. Moolah regained the title from Richter two days later and went on to hold it for an additional three years until she was defeated by Sensational Sherri on July 24, 1988 at WrestleFest 1988.

Sherri held onto the title for under a year before losing it to Rockin’ Robin at WrestleMania V on April 2, 1989. Hulk Hogan claimed that he had found “the real Wendi Richter” when he presented wrestler Rita Marie as Richter later that month; Marie held onto the title for four days before losing it back to Robin. Miss Elizabeth Ends The Title Reign Of Sensational Sherri becomes champion by defeating WWF Women’s Champion Rockin’ Robin in a tournament final at SummerSlam 1989. Elizabeth vacates the title due to injury on October 3, 1989 and does not return to reclaim it.

Alicia Fox is currently the longest-reigning champion in WWE history with a reign lasting 50 days (or 1 day short of 2 months).

The Women’s Revolution

It’s no secret that the WWE has been lacking in the women’s division for many years. The women were not given the same opportunities as the men, and it showed in the quality of matches and storylines. However, things have changed in recent years. The women’s revolution has taken over the WWE, and the women are now given the same opportunities as the men. This has led to some incredible matches and storylines.

The Women’s Evolution

In July of 2016, the WWE Women’s Championship was retired and replaced with the newly-created WWE Raw Women’s Championship. This signified a new era in WWE, one in which women were finally going to be given the same opportunities as men. And boy, have they delivered.

Since the beginning of the Women’s Evolution, we have seen some of the most talented women in WWE history step into the ring and put on performances that rival anything the men have done. We have seen new champions crowned, old rivals feuding, and a level of competition that is second to none.

The Women’s Revolution has not only changed WWE for the better, but it has also inspired a new generation of young women to pursue their dreams, regardless of what society tells them they can or cannot do. We cannot wait to see what the future holds for the women of WWE.

The Women’s Royal Rumble

The Women’s Royal Rumble was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE for their Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. It took place on January 28, 2018, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This was the first women’s Royal Rumble match in WWE history and was one of the main events of the evening. The event also featured three other championship matches and several tag team matches.
