    Maika, from Stardom, in the Evaluation period:
    2023 5Star GP Finalist
    World of Stardom Champion for 7 months
    Artist of Stardom Champion
    2024 5Star GP winner(1st wrestler to do so without losing a single match in the tournament)
    Btw, Mayu Iwatani is criminally low on that list

      Eh, I dunno about Mayu. She's probably around the right spot imo. She held a (IMO) secondary belt belt and defended it a handful of times. Other than that, she's mostly been in the background. Matu is a legend, but overall, she wasn't that critical to Stardom storylines.
      I would argue that Maki Itoh and Unagi Sayaka are way too low on the list. Both should be 30 spots higher. But to each their own.

      Ito did not have a good title reign though as well as not many defences.

    Whoever did this list left out one of the Greatest Women’s Professional Wrestler ever Danni Bee OKC from Oklahoma City the Big Buzz herself. Danni Bee belongs in the top ten if not number one on the PWI list In a little over three short years that she has been wrestling she has appeared on AEW worked for WWE and currently signed a contract with NWA . Danni Bee won Booker T’s reality training camp as the Best Wrestler she has won the following titles ASP, Heart of Texas, Sabotage Wrestling, NCWO, Hurricane Pro Title, WAC title, and is currently the New Texas Pro Champion and still holds the title which she has held for a year now has won the WAC , Mission Pro, and NWA tag team title which she still holds today. Danni Bee has defeated a lot of women on this list and deserves to be on it . You need to watch Danni Bee wrestle and see how good she really is . She is AMAZING and AWESOME in the ring takes on all comers and never backs down from anyone. Danni Bee is also undefeated in inter gender matches which I feel makes her the Best Professional Wrestler male or female to step between the ropes. Danni Bee is and always will BEE # 1 ❤❤❤

    I really didn't see a lot of cmll or tna this year so I'm not quite sure if Stephanie or grace are ranked right. But I definitely feel like willow shouldn't be in the top 10 because her booking was weird during that period & her tbs reign wasn't great. 11 to 20 maybe but not top 10. I'm pretty shocked iyo didn't make the top 10 because all her matches & booking have been good & she is treated like main eventer tier . I'm also surprised mayu wasn't in the top 10 because her iwgp reign is really good & she also had some moty's. If sareee wasn't number #1 I think she definitely should've been top 3 because she's in wrestler of the year category for me.

      I guess u conveniently forgot that she won matches before K&QTR, which included a qualifying match, also defeated Nia the last night of the draft in April. In terms of single matches, she lost to Nia via DQ because Becky attacked Nia, Nia attacked Becky first. Then she lost to Becky via pinned, then lost a match on Smackdown to Tiffany via roll up after Bianca tried to get involved after Tiffany attacked her ring side. The other matches are multiple women matches, the women's Royal Rumble match, the women's Elimination Chamber match and the women's Battle Royal to Crown a new women's world champion. In fact she's had 32 matches this year so far, she's won 21 and lost 10.

    Hot take, Mariah May shouldn’t have made the top 10. Her spit should’ve gone to Roxanne Perez

    Gisele Shaw was not in the top ten either, which as a trans woman, just makes me sad.
    Update: She is 63rd on the list. That is even more depressing. Look I am glad she made the list, but come on. You are gonna tell me that she is not as good as Ronda Rousey, who is 22nd. That is bull!

      The list is not who is better, its a kayfabe list of what they did. And even then its not a list to take seriously anyways (Iyo Sky being behind Roxanne and Liv f. ex.)
      And are you looking at an old list, cause Shaw is 92nd and Ronda is not on the list at all?

      Ronda isn't listed as she didn't have enough matches

      I think you just figured out one of the reasons why GS wasn't on the list

      Why? Is it because she is trans? That would just be wrong.
