7 Great women wrestlers WWE needs to sign

The women's revolution movement has been an unparalleled success for both sports entertainment in general and WWE in particular. After all, WWE's current top star is Becky Lynch, who along with Charlotte and Ronda Rousey made history by being the first women to main event a WrestleMania PPV.

Gone are the days when women's wrestling was just an excuse for eye candy. Modern women wrestlers are just as tough, capable, and technically sound as the men. In fact, some of them are better than men.

WWE has made good on its promise to continue to take the women's division seriously by signing some of the world's top talents. Asuka was joined by fellow countrywomen Kairi Sane and Io Shirai. Becky Lynch was a mainstay of the European wrestling scene, and of course, there is homegrown talent like Charlotte Flair.

But as WWE continues to expand, the demand for more shows will mean a need for new talent. While the WWE women's roster is stacked from top to bottom, there are still some wrestling talents that they need to acquire if they want to continue their dominance.

Here are seven women who the WWE needs to sign.

#1 Kelly Klein

Real Name: Mary Elizabeth Monroe

Years as a professional wrestler: 12 (veteran)

Wrestling style: Technical wrestling with some power moves.

Currently employed by: Ring of Honor and the independent scene.

Kelly Klein made her debut for Heartland Wrestling Association way back in 2007, when women's wrestling was still coming out of the dark ages of inappropriate matches. Trained by such luminaries as BJ Whitmer, she refused to be just another pretty face and worked hard to develop a deep moveset and the power necessary to employ it.

Klein is on her second reign as Ring of Honor Women's Champion and has also worn championship gold for several other promotions.

Why the WWE needs to sign her: Kelly Klein is a great technical wrestler, arguably as good as Bret Hart during his heyday. Her experience speaks volumes and she can put on a good match with even relatively green talent, a huge plus for an ever-expanding roster.

#2 LuFisto

Real Name: Genevieve Goulet

Years as a professional wrestler: 22 years (ring general)

Wrestling style: Power and technical wrestling with strikes and high flying moves.

Currently employed by: Shine wrestling.

The First Lady of Hardcore, LuFisto has been wrestling since the late 1990s. In the course of her illustrious career, she wound up defeating current WWE Superstar Kevin Owens in a death match.

LuFisto has an ever-evolving style that involves hitting her opponent with everything but the kitchen sink. She can strike, suplex, and fly off the top rope with equal aplomb. She has racked up over thirty title reigns during her long career, but has never worked for the WWE.

Why the WWE needs to sign her: Though nearly for 40, LuFisto still has plenty of shine on her in-ring performances. She's forgotten more about pro wrestling than many athletes will ever learn. While she may not have ten years left to wrestle, she can still make a significant impact for WWE, and later serve as a trainer/teacher.

#3 Ivelisse

Real Name: Ivelisse Milagro Vélez

Years as a professional wrestler: 16 years (veteran.)

Wrestling style: Lucha Libre

Currently employed by: Lucha Underground and Shine Wrestling.

Ivelisse began training for the ring at the tender age of fourteen in her native, Puerto Rico. She developed her ring style based upon the Puerto Rican wrestling scene, which has a strong Lucha Libre influence.

Ivelisse was a contestant on Tough Enough back in 2001, but an injury would force her to retire from the competition. She was signed to a developmental deal and appeared in Florida Championship Wrestling and NXT when the brand transitioned.

She requested her release from NXT because of issues with Bill DeMott; Ivelisse was one of the first to report DeMott for misconduct. She went on to become a major star on the independent scene and also works for Shine and Lucha Underground.

Why the WWE needs to sign her: Simply put, Ivelisse is one of the most talented Lucha Libre stars currently working, male or female. She has the skill, the experience, and the glamorous look that could take her all the way to the top of WWE.

#4: Su Yung

Real Name: Vannarah Riggs

Years as a professional wrestler: 12 years (veteran)

Wrestling style: US standard worker with some Lucha Libre

Currently employed by: Impact Wrestling

Su Yung has already been a WWE employee once. She was signed to a developmental deal back in 2010, but was released after making only a few appearances on the NXT brand under several different names.

Not to be deterred, Su Yung would develop her 'Undead Bride' character, and worked on creating a superstar presence and enigma. The plan worked, and Su Yung has gone on to become one of the most unique and compelling women's wrestling characters in the business today.

Why the WWE needs to sign her: Su Yung has a wealth of experience, but isn't even thirty years old yet. While she may not be the greatest technical wrestler, she has enough flash to her moveset to hang with any opponent, and her charismatic poise can carry an entire division, as she has done for Impact for some time.

#5: Rosemary

Real Name: Holly Letkeman

Years as a professional wrestler: 11 years (veteran.)

Wrestling style: Technical wrestling, brawling, some flying and 'exotic' moves like breathing poison mist. Rosemary can truly do it all in the ring.

Currently employed by: Impact wrestling.

For most of her career, Rosemary wrestled under the name Courtney Rush. She had a glamorous if somewhat generic look and character but was so skilled in the ring that she accumulated numerous championships.

Then, much like The Undertaker had before her, she discovered her best character later in her career. She made her debut for Impact in 2016 under the Rosemary gimmick and hasn't looked back yet. Rosemary tends to remain in character even on her social media posts, a dedication to kayfabe rare in the modern wrestling world.

Why the WWE needs to sign her: A seasoned, versatile veteran who also has a compelling and unique character, Rosemary would inject a lot of color into a women's division where nearly everyone is a glamour doll.

#6: Jordynne Grace

Real Name: Patricia Parker

Years as a professional wrestler: 8 years (journeyman)

Wrestling style: Power wrestling with a heavy strong style influence.

Currently employed by: Impact wrestling, Progress (where she is the current women's champion.)

Jordynne Grace has a ton of parallels with former NXT UK champion Bruiserweight Pete Dunne. Both started wrestling in their teens--Jordynne was just fifteen when she had her first match--and both also refuse to allow a relatively short stature to define them.

Jordynne Grace is considered to be one of the best performers on the independent scene, male or female. She was the only female participant in the All In over budget battle royal, and has been making waves on Impact wrestling as of late, where she is the number one contender for the Knockouts title.

Why the WWE needs to sign her: Jordynne Grace is relatively young, and already one of the most gifted performers in the business. She will only get better with time, and could be a future hall of fame talent if WWE can snap her up from her lucrative independent contracts.

#7: Tessa Blanchard

Real Name: Tessa Blanchard

Years as a professional wrestler: 5 years (journeyman.)

Wrestling style: Technical wrestling and all round wrestling.

Currently employed by: Impact and various independent entities.

Tessa Blanchard is the daughter of legendary Tully Blanchard. Tully was a founding member of the Four Horsemen and one of the most respected talents from the 1970s and 1980s. He was one of the only men to have held both the NWA Tag Team Titles and the WWE Tag Team Championship, both times with Arn Anderson.

As good as Tully was, his daughter Tessa is actually better. She has a deep moveset, a poise that would suggest twice as much experience as she actually has, and plenty of charisma. She is the current Knockouts Champion and has dominated the division for much of the past year.

Why the WWE needs to sign her: Tessa has the complete package; Technical wrestling ability, toughness, and glamour girl good looks. It's kind of a head scratcher that she hasn't been signed by WWE already.
