#9 The Fabulous Moolah - 12 Years and 3 Months

WWE's oldest Women's Champion
WWE's oldest Women's Champion

The late Fabulous Moolah currently holds the record for being the longest reigning Champion of any kind, in WWE history, although the Women's Championship she held had originally began in the NWA. Moolah held the Women's Championship during her first run for an incredible 28 years.

After controversially winning from Wendi Richter, she would hold the gold for another two years before losing it to the Sensational Sherri in July 1987. Amazingly, over 12 years later, Moolah and the legendary Mae Young, would become regulars on WWE TV, despite being in their 70's.

During an episode of RAW in September 1999, Moolah would defeat Women's Champion Ivory in an Evening Gown match to earn a Championship match at the October No Mercy event, and amazingly, would defeat her for the Championship.

Moolah would hold the Women's Championship for just over a week, before dropping it back to Ivory on an episode of RAW.
