4 traditionally male WWE titles that have been held by women

As of the WWE Raw Reunion, the 24/7 Title has now been held by both male and female wrestlers with Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle, and Alundra Blayze all winning the title during the episode. Kelly Kelly was the first female to win the title after hitting Gerald Brisco with a low-blow. However, the 24/7 title is not the first WWE title to have both male and female champions.

The belt's predecessor, the Hardcore title, was held by both men and women when the belt was active. This largely happened during WWE's Attitude Era when it was considered more acceptable for male and female wrestlers to attack each other.

Since the company transitioned into the PG Era, mixed-gender matches have gone by the wayside, as one of the guidelines of the era has been a complete separation of male and female wrestlers. Men and women were once again brought into the same ring a few years ago, starting with the Mixed Match Challenge. Since then, we have not only seen men and women in the ring together, we've also seen wrestlers of physically attacking a member of a different gender.

There have been several recent examples of this, such as Ronda Rousey squaring off against Triple H during their Mixed-Gender Tag Match at WrestleMania 34. Nia Jax then became the first women to be attacked by a male wrestler during the 2019 Royal Rumble, as Dolph Ziggler, Randy Orton, and Rey Mysterio all hit Nia with their finishers before eliminating her.

This was taken a step further during the Mixed Tag match between Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch against Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans at 2019's Extreme Rules PPV. Towards the end of the match, Corbin hit Lynch with the End of Days, before he was attacked by Seth Rollins.

This all seemed to lead towards the events of the Raw Reunion, which saw a traditionally male WWE title switch genders for the first time since Jaqueline defeated Chavo Guerrero to win the Cruiserweight title in 2004.

#4 The 24/7 Title

Candice Michelle was one of the 3 women to win the 24/7 Title during the Raw Reunion

The 24/7 Title was first introduced on the 20th of May 2019 edition of Raw by the inaugural Hardcore Champion, Mick Foley. The title, due to its ugly design, was originally panned by the fans.

However, thanks to the tireless work by R-Truth and Drake Maverick the title has become one of the most entertaining parts of Monday Night Raw in the recent weeks with R-Truth as the Champion and Drake Maverick trying to win the title while not upsetting his wife.

During the Raw Reunion, the title was passed between legends like Pat Patterson, Gerald Brisco, and the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase. The title was also won by Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle, and Alundra Blayze, during the episode. Starting with Kelly Kelly hitting Brisco with a low blow to win the title before Alundra Blayze would sell the title to the Million Dollar Man.

Before selling the title to DiBiase, Blayze threatened to bin the 24/7 title in a recreation of the infamous moment on WCW's Monday Night Nitro where she threw the WWF Women's Title in the bin.

Female Champions: Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle, Alundra Blayze, and Maria Kanellis

#3 The Cruiserweight Title

Jacqueline was the first female to win the WWE Cruiserweight title

Before it's revival through the Cruiserweight Classic, the WWE and WCW both had a belt for their lighter wrestlers. The WCW Cruiserweight division, in particular, was famous for being full of incredibly gifted wrestlers like Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, Juventud Guerrera, Billy Kidman, Brian Pillman, and Dean Malenko. However, when the WCW was purchased by the WWE the Cruiserweight title was merged with the WWF's Light Heavyweight title, a lot of the legacy of the belt was lost.

Despite the WCW Cruiserweight roster being full of male talent, it didn't stop the promotion from handing the title to females on the roster. Madusa, formerly known as Alundra Blayze in the WWF, was the first woman to win the title after beating Evan Karagias at the Starrcade 1999.

Daffney would be the next woman to win the title, first becoming co-champion with Crowbar after defeating former champion Chris Candido and his valet, Tammy Sytch, in a mixed-gender tag team match for the title. Daffney would later defeat Crowbar thanks to interference from Candido to become the outright champion.

Finally, Chavo Guerrero would be the first WWE Cruiserweight champion to lose his belt to a woman. Holding an open challenge for the title on an episode of Smackdown in May 2004, which was answered by Jacqueline, who defeated Chavo after hitting him with a low blow while the referee was distracted.

Female Champions: Madusa, Daffney (WCW), Jacqueline (WWE)

#2 The Intercontinental Title

Chyna broke many barriers in the WWE, such as being the first female Intercontinental Champion

The Intercontinental Title is the most prestigious title on this list. The Intercontinental belt was traditionally the title for gifted technical working wrestlers and wrestlers who the company believed would be the next main event stars.

Former titleholders include Triple H, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Stone Cold Steve Austin and so many more names, many of whom would go on to become WWE Champions later in their careers.

The only woman to have won the Intercontinental Title is Chyna. Not only did Chyna win the title, but she had two separate reigns with the belt. This was not the only glass ceiling Chyna would break during her time with the WWF. Chyna was also the first woman to compete in the Royal Rumble match and is still the only woman to participate in two men's Royal Rumbles.

Female Champion: Chyna

#1 The Hardcore Title

Terri won the Hardcore title after pinning Steve Richards after a backstage interview

The Hardcore title, originally introduced by Vince McMahon as a present to Mankind became a defining mid-card title for the WWE during its legendary Attitude Era. The title was originally intended to be defended in hardcore matches, or Extreme Rules as it is referred to today.

However, when Crash Holly won the belt on a SmackDown episode, he declared the belt would be defended 24/7. As a result of the rule change, the belt would change several times during the event.

The first female to hold the title was Cynthia Lynch, who was one of The Godfather's Ho's at the event. Lynch managed to pin Crash Holly for the title, before being pinned by Holly to return the title. Molly Holly, as Mighty Molly, would knock out the Hurricane with a frying pan to win the title before she was pinned by Christian.

Trish Stratus would also pin Crash Holly to win the title at a Raw event in Hartford, Connecticut. Finally, Terri pinned Stevie Richards after Richards was attacked by Jaqueline, Shawn Stasiak, and the Big Boss Man.

Female Champions: Cynthia Lynch, Trish Stratus, Terri Runnels, Molly Holly
