10 female stars who have pinned top male stars

#7 Jacqueline

Jacqueline won the WWE Women’s Championship twice, and was one of only three women to have won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Jacqueline had a phenomenal in-ring career, which saw her working for WCW, WWE and later, Impact Wrestling.

During her stint with WWE, Jacqueline made history when she became the WWE Cruiserweight Champion. When the then champion, Chavo Guerrero Jr. threw out an open challenge, his challenge was answered by the Texan.

Jacqueline then pinned Chavo to win the title, but Chavo got his redemption at Judgment Day, when he beat Jacqueline with one hand tied behind his back.

#6 Lita

When we talk about the greatest female wrestlers in history, the list will not be complete without Lita. As a matter of fact, Lita’s name will be at the very top. At a time when Chyna was a true trailblazer in WWE, Lita wasn’t too far behind. With her unorthodox, high flying, lucha libre style, Lita made a massive impact in the company.

While the “Punk Princess” is a multiple time WWE Women’s Champion, in the beginning of 2001, she found herself at the crossroads. Dean Malenko, who was infatuated by Lita, forced her to go on a date with him. However, during one episode of RAW, everything was on the line for Lita.

Lita faced Malenko, and a victory would ensure that Malenko would let her go.

Malenko is considered to be one of the greatest cruiserweights of all time. “The Man of 1,000 Holds” was however defeated by Lita, thanks to an interference from Matt Hardy. Post match, Lita and Matt kissed on-air, and the rest, as they say, is history.

#5 Victoria

Victoria was one of the most dominant performers in WWE. The way she annihilated Trish Stratus in early 2000’s put the women’s division on notice. Victoria is also a multiple time WWE Women’s Champion, and competed against some of the biggest names in the company at the time.

In 2003, Victoria got into an on-screen relationship with Steven Richards.

The duo faced the team of Tommy Dreamer and Ivory on Sunday Night Heat in 2003. Tommy Dreamer cemented his legacy as a legend during his time with ECW, but found himself in a slump in WWE. Richards Superkicked Tommy, leading to Victoria pinning the ECW Original!

#4 Beth Phoenix

The Glamazon, similar to Chyna a decade ago, was a trailblazer in WWE. Beth became only the second women’s wrestler to enter the Royal Rumble match, and eliminated The Great Khali! Beth also won the WWE Women’s Championship thrice, and was also a former WWE Divas Champion. Beth was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year.

The Glamazon was one of the few women to have faced a male Superstar in an inter gender match. Back in 2008, Beth was involved in an on-screen relationship with Santino Marella.

Santino, who won the WWE Intercontinental title on his very first night on the main roster, later faced Beth Phoenix in a singles match.

#3 Sara Calaway

Diamond Dallas Page was a hot commodity when he was in WCW. Not only was he a multiple time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, but he was one of the better workers in the company. So when WWE signed him up, the fans expected interesting storylines and solid matches.

However, WWE quickly squashed those ideas, and DDP was involved in a forgettable storyline instead.

When DDP was unveiled as Sara Calaway’s stalker, it led to a program with The Undertaker. However, the proverbial nail in the coffin for DDP’s WWE career came on RAW, when he was placed in a match with Sara Calaway. The Undertaker quickly got involved and choke slammed Page on the outside.

This led to Sara pinning Diamond Dallas Page. When someone that isn’t even a professional wrestler pins you in the ring, it’s quite obvious where your career is headed in WWE.

#2 Stephanie McMahon

When Stephanie was introduced on WWE programming, she was “Daddy’s little girl”. The evolution of Stephanie McMahon from Vince McMahon’s kid, to the “Billion Dollar Princess”, to the now business tycoon has been impressive to say the least. One of the more monumental phases in Stephanie McMahon’s on-screen persona came during the 2000’s, when she married (kayfabe) Triple H.

During the McMahon-Helmsley era, we saw Stephanie coming into her own. During one particular episode of Monday Night RAW, Stephanie, along with Test, took on The Rock in a Handicap match. During the bout, The Rock knocked the referee out, as Shane McMahon came out to help his sister.

In the end, the odds proved too much for ‘The Great One’ to overcome, and Stephanie McMahon did the unthinkable – she pinned ‘The People’s Champion’ in the middle of the ring!

#1 Chyna

Our number one pick wouldn’t surprise anyone. If there ever was one dominant female in professional wrestling, who kicked the door wide open for other women to enter the business, it was Chyna. Not only was she a maverick, but also became the first woman to participate in a Royal Rumble match!

Chyna has been a part of many “firsts” – Chyna became the first woman to qualify for the King of the Ring tournament, the first and only woman to hold the prestigious WWE Intercontinental title, and last but not least, the first woman to become the number one contender for the WWE Championship, although she never competed for the title.

While Chyna did technically pin Chris Jericho (the match ended with a double pinfall), arguably the biggest victory of her career came against Triple H. Chyna and Triple H were involved in a number one contender’s match for the WWE Championship.

With Mick Foley interfering during the bout, Chyna was able to pin Triple H, thus becoming the number one contender for the title!
