WWE female Superstars had come a long way where they can finally claim there’s a lesser distinction between their division with the male ones. From competing in the Bra and Panties matches, they have now reached a state where WWE can easily set up a main event match depending on them.
This does mean that WWE female Superstars are more than enough to showcase their skills garner the spotlight when given the right opportunity. They’re tougher than anyone could think and they already proved the point by holding belts exclusive to the men’s division. Today, we look back at ten such women’s wrestlers who made records by holding titles meant to be won by the males, only.

Madusa – Cruiserweight Championship and 24/7 Championship
Madusa dropping the WWE Women’s Championship into the trash can is something that her career is best known for. However, no one can deny that she was one of the best WWE female Superstars of all time. During her WCW run, she had a failed opportunity to the WCW Heavyweight Championship, she found herself in a match with Evan Karagias to capture the Cruiserweight champion title. Then in 2019, she also grabbed the 24/7 Title making her the only woman to capture two separate men’s division belts.
Molly Holly – Hardcore Championship
The Hardcore Championship was the older version of the current 24/7 Title where the champion has to be aware all the time.

Chyna – Intercontinental Championship
Chyna is someone who trailed the blaze for the WWE female Superstars in many ways. The eighth wonder of the world won the men’s Intercontinental Championship not once, but twice in her career.

The second time her title win came during a mixed tag team match with Eddie Guerrero against Trish Stratus and defending Champion, Val Venis.
Jacqueline – Cruiserweight Championship

Maria Kanellis – 24/7 Championship
During the July 29, 2019 edition of RAW, Mike Kanellis defeated R-Truth to win the title. But being a dutiful husband, he had to listen to his wife, Maria Kanellis who had a baby inside her belly. So Mike had to lay down so that she could pin him to win the title. Thus, Maria became the first-ever and only pregnant champion in the history of WWE.
Terri Runnels – Hardcore Championship

The reign lasted for about a minute, as Richards got up and immediately pinned Terri to get it back.
Carmella – 24/7 Championship
