For some, it&#8217;s measured purely by their ability to consistently put on great matches, while for others, it is the number of WWE Championships they&#8217;ve won. There are others, however, who feel the ultimate benchmark is the coveted Grand Slam Champion status &#8211; winning all the major titles the company has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to be crowned as a Grand Slam Champion for the women\u2019s division, one must win the NXT Women\u2019s Championship, Women\u2019s Tag Team Championship, Women\u2019s World Heavyweight Championship, and the WWE Women\u2019s Championship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at the five most recent active WWE female wrestlers who have attained this elusive achievement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h2><b> Asuka \u00a0 May 10, 2020<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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\u2019s first match pitted her against Emma on October 7, 2015, where she revealed her new stage name: Asuka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Empress of Tomorrow\u201d quickly made a name for herself, beating Bayley on April 1, 2016, to win the NXT Women\u2019s 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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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\u2019s Championship when Becky Lynch announced she was stepping back due to her pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She has won a total of 10 title belts, and is a three-time Women\u2019s Raw Champion, a Women\u2019s SmackDown Champion, and a five-time Women\u2019s Tag Team Champion, currently holding the title with Kairi Sane.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h2><b> Charlotte Flair \u00a0 December 20, 2020<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ashley Fliehr, the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, burst onto the wrestling scene in WWE NXT as Charlotte Flair on July 17, 2013, defeating Bayley in her first match. After battling with the likes of Paige, Bayley and Emma, Charlotte would win her first NXT Women\u2019s Championship on May 29, 2014, after beating Natalya at NXT TakeOver. She held the title for 258 days before losing to Sasha Banks in a fatal four-way match.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Queen&#8221; rose through the ranks, debuting on the WWE main roster on July 13, 2015, when Stephanie McMahon announced a \u201cRevolution\u201d to the WWE Divas\u2019 division. She won her first match days later at Battleground, defeating Brie Bella and Sasha Banks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternating between stints as both a heel and face, Charlotte became Grand Slam Champion on December 20, 2020, when she and Asuka defeated Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler at the TLC PPV.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charlotte has won 18 championships, and has the distinction of being both the last WWE Divas\u2019 Champion and the first WWE Women\u2019s Champion when the belt was rebranded on April 3, 2016, at WrestleMania 32.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h2><b> Rhea Ripley \u00a0 April 1, 2023\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demiti Bennett began her career in 2013 in the Australian and Japanese wrestling circuits before relocating to the United States to look for greater opportunities. Her in-ring debut came on July 13, 2017, at the first-ever WWE Mae Young Classic. She was defeated in the second round but emerged with a new stage name: Rhea Ripley. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She was immediately signed to the NXT brand and would win her first championship on August 26, 2018, becoming the inaugural WWE NXT UK Women\u2019s Champion after defeating Toni Storm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Nightmare\u201d quickly gained momentum, appearing on WWE Monday Night Raw on March 22, 2021, where she defeated Asuka in a non-title bout. Less than a month later, Ripley again faced Asuka but in a championship bout at WrestleMania 37, where she would win the Raw Women\u2019s Championship. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the age of 26, Ripley became the youngest Grand Slam Champion on April 1, 2023, after defeating Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_147116\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-147116\" style=\"width: 204px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-147116 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/Rhea_Ripley_April_2024_cropped-204x300.jpg\" alt=\"A photo WWE Grand Slam Champion, Rhea Ripley.\" width=\"204\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/Rhea_Ripley_April_2024_cropped-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/Rhea_Ripley_April_2024_cropped-697x1024.jpg 697w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/Rhea_Ripley_April_2024_cropped-768x1128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/Rhea_Ripley_April_2024_cropped-1046x1536.jpg 1046w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/Rhea_Ripley_April_2024_cropped.jpg 1070w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 204px) 100vw, 204px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-147116\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: By <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Category:Rhea_Ripley#\/media\/File:Rhea_Ripley,_April_2024_(cropped).jpg\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Diego Serrano<\/a> &#8211; https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/202213156@N02\/54307425140\/, CC BY 2.0,<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ripley is a six-time champion and is tied with Bayley for the longest title reign of the Women\u2019s World Heavyweight Champion at 380 days.

April 8, 2013, saw the announcement that she had signed with WWE with the NXT development brand, and her ring name was revealed as Becky Lynch. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her first televised match took place on June 26, 2014, where she defeated Summer Rae. Despite widespread praise for her wrestling style, Lynch did not win a championship before being elevated to the WWE main roster on July 13, 2015, as part of Stephanie McMahon\u2019s spotlight on the women\u2019s division.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Man\u201d made her WWE Monday Night Raw debut on July 20, 2015, teaming up with Paige in a losing effort against Sasha Banks and Naomi. Her first title win would come on September 11, 2016, when she became the inaugural SmackDown Women\u2019s Champion, defeating Carmella at Backlash. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost seven years to the day, Lynch would become the sixth female Grand Slam Champion by defeating Tiffany Stratton for the NXT championship on September 12, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognized by Sports Illustrated earlier this year as the greatest WWE women\u2019s wrestler of all time, Lynch is an 11-time champion and has the distinction of being the longest reigning WWE Women\u2019s Intercontinental Champion at 163 days, as well as the oldest at the age of 38.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> <\/b><br \/>\n<h2><b>IYO SKY\u00a0 \u00a0March 3, 2025\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Masami Odate began her wrestling career at the age of 16 in Japan alongside her older sister, where she rose to prominence with the ring name Io Shirai. The duo later paired with Kana (known in WWE as Asuka) to form the Triple Tails, before transitioning to wrestling in Mexico. Shirai made her North American debut on August 8, 2018, in the second Mae Young Classic, where she was defeated in the finals by Toni Storm. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her first televised bout came for NXT on January 23, 2019, when she defeated Amber Nova and Tanea Brooks in a tag team match with Kairi Sane. Her first title match win took place on June 7, 2020, when she won the NXT Women\u2019s Championship by defeating Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match at TakeOver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGenius of the Sky\u201d transitioned to the WWE main roster in 2022, returning from injury with a new stage name: IYO SKY. She quickly rose through the ranks, capturing titles and gaining popularity over the next three years. SKY is the most recent Grand Slam winner in the women\u2019s division, following her win over Rhea Ripley on Monday Night Raw on March 3, 2025, to secure the WWE SmackDown Women\u2019s title belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A seven-time champion, SKY is the first wrestler to become a Grand Slam champion in both WWE and the Japanese wrestling promotion, Stardom. She is credited with one of the longest reigns in modern wrestling history, holding the Stardom World Championship for 650 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The WWE Women&#8217;s Grand Slam is one of the most prestigious feats in the industry. The club&#8217;s inaugural member was Bayley, who achieved the distinction on May 19, 2019. To date, only seven women have completed this legendary sweep, with Sasha Banks (now known as Mercedes Mon\u00e9 in AEW) rounding out the elite group. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next superstar to join remains a major question, as both Bianca Belair and Alexa Bliss need just one more championship victory to claim their place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Category:Becky_Lynch#\/media\/File:Becky_Lynch_-_2019-01-20_-_01.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WikiMedia Creative Commons<\/a> \u2013 Stay tuned to the <\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on WWE Grand Slam Champions and other news stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
