The currently deep and competitive field of women’s wrestlers made filling out this year’s Top 10 very difficult, with the lone exception of assigning the top spot.
After a tremendous 2019, Becky Lynch becomes Sports Illustrated’s Wrestler of the Year for a second straight year. All of the focus was on Lynch as the calendar turned from 2018 to 2019, and she paved a new path for women across the industry as she became one of the marquee stars for WWE.
While there have been other female stars in WWE history, none were built through their in-ring ability and promo skills, especially not as headliners.
