To be considered an all-time great WWE superstar, many fans believe certain achievements are essential. For some, it’s measured purely by their ability to consistently put on great matches, while for others, it is the number of WWE Championships they’ve won. There are others, however, who feel the ultimate benchmark is the coveted Grand Slam Champion status – winning all the major titles the company has to offer.
In order to be crowned as a Grand Slam Champion for the women’s division, one must win the NXT Women’s Championship, Women’s Tag Team Championship, Women’s World Heavyweight Championship, and the WWE Women’s Championship.
Let’s take a look at the five most recent active WWE female wrestlers who have attained this elusive achievement.

Asuka May 10, 2020
Kanako Urai made her wrestling debut in Japan under the ring name Kana in 2004 before moving to the United States in 2011. After signing under the WWE NXT brand, Urai’s first match pitted her against Emma on October 7, 2015, where she revealed her new stage name: Asuka.
“The Empress of Tomorrow” quickly made a name for herself, beating Bayley on April 1, 2016, to win the NXT Women’s Championship for the first time. Asuka still holds the record as the longest-reigning champion at 510 days, only relinquishing her title on August 24, 2017, after breaking her collarbone. She made her WWE main roster debut against Emma on October 22, 2017, at the TLC PPV.
After rising through the ranks, Asuka would become Grand Slam Champion on May 10, 2020, after trading her Money in the Bank contract for the Raw Women’s Championship when Becky Lynch announced she was stepping back due to her pregnancy.
She has won a total of 10 title belts, and is a three-time Women’s Raw Champion, a Women’s SmackDown Champion, and a five-time Women’s Tag Team Champion, currently holding the title with Kairi Sane.
