#8 Tessa Blanchard - Impact World Championship

Love her or hate her, the talent and charisma of Tessa Blanchard are undeniable.
Love her or hate her, the talent and charisma of Tessa Blanchard are undeniable.

Our final entry on the list of women who have held men's championships is the biggest name who has captured the most high profile title belt of those listed.

Tessa Blanchard captured the Impact World Championship at the Hard to Kill pay-per-view, becoming the first woman to hold the company's big belt and turning away a fierce and violent competitor in Sami Callihan.

Though she's become embroiled in controversy about things that may or may not have transpired in Japan, Tessa Blanchard remains a trailblazer for women who wrestle men. She has been presented as scrappy and tough, in contrast to being a 'Mary Sue' who just wins without seeming to expend any effort.

No matter where you sit on the fence about women wrestling for men's titles, you have to admit that her accolade is impressive. Impact may not be as big as WWE, or as high profile as AEW, but the promotion has lasted longer than WCW or ECW did during their runs, and that includes the WWE revival of ECW.
