6. Liv Morgan
Unquestionably, Liv Morgan was WWE’s female wrestler of the year in 2024. Her Revenge Tour was complete after she regained the Women’s World Championship from Becky Lynch at King and Queen of the Ring 2024 in Saudi Arabia.
She won the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship after beating the Women’s Champion Nia Jax at Crown Jewel 2024. However, her rivalry with Rhea Ripley continued from SummerSlam 2024 right until the premiere episode of Raw on Netflix on January 6, 2025.
Morgan joined the Judgment Day, replacing Ripley, and Raquel Rodriguez returned at Bad Blood 2024 to be by Liv’s side. Liv walked in 2025 as the Women’s World Champion. However, she dropped the Women’s World Championship to Ripley, who handed Morgan her first pinfall loss in 10 months.
Liv returned to WWE after five months on the sidelines with an injury at Survivor Series 2025, and she’ll be seeking to recapture the Women’s World Championship again.
5. Stephanie Vaquer
2025 has seen the rise of Stephanie Vaquer. “La Primera” thrived in NXT, and she was a double champion at one point by holding the NXT Women’s Championship and the NXT Women’s North American Championship simultaneously. Nevertheless, Vaquer called up from NXT to Raw, and she’s looked right at home. Vaquer was the beneficiary of Naomi’s pregnancy as the Women’s World Championship became vacant.
Vaquer saw off IYO SKY for the vacant Women’s World Championship at Wrestlepalooza. At Crown Jewel 2025, Vaquer beat Tiffany Stratton to become the second WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Champion.
Vaquer’s lived up to her reputation as a fighting Women’s World Champion. She’s retained the title against Raquel Rodriguez twice and beat WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella in their showdown at Survivor Series 2025.
She may not walk out of 2025 as the Women’s World Champion (at the time of writing) as she’s defending the title against Raquel and Nikki in a triple threat match. Her title reign hasn’t set the world alight as of yet, as many are waiting for Vaquer’s feuds with big hitters such as Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, and Becky Lynch, a few names to boot.
4. Naomi
It was pure cinema at Elimination Chamber 2025 when Jade Cargill attacked Naomi, unveiling Naomi as her assailant. Naomi’s heel turn was long-awaited, and her “Proceed with Caution” catchphrase caught on with fans.
Naomi won the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, and it was nailed on that she’d target the WWE Women’s Championship. However, Naomi lost to Cargill again at Evolution 2025, but that wasn’t Naomi’s final act of the night.
Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky battled over the Women’s World Championship, with the contest poised. Naomi cashed in her women’s Money in the Bank briefcase, catching both women off guard. She captured her third Women’s World Championship, ending her eight-year drought.
Naomi’s title reign was cooking as she beat Ripley and Sky in another triple threat match at SummerSlam 2025. However, she had a scheduled title defense against Sky on Raw and Vaquer at Clash in Paris, but the match failed to materialize. Naomi announced her pregnancy, causing her title reign to halt prematurely.
