5 Female wrestlers who won men's titles

#4 Mighty Molly

After a brief stint in WCW in the late 90s, Molly Holly made her WWE debut in late 2000. Molly was paired with Bob and Crash Holly upon her arrival on the main roster. The trio feuded with Test, Albert, and Trish Stratus. Around a year later, Molly aligned with The Hurricane, and began calling herself Mighty Molly.

At WrestleMania 18, the WWE Hardcore title changed hands several times. Amidst the hullabaloo, The Hurricane defeated Spike Dudley to become the Hardcore Champion. While he was being interviewed backstage by Jonathan Coachman, Molly appeared out of nowhere and suggested to him that the duo should go to their 'Hurri-cycle'. As The Hurricane proceeded to the direction Molly pointed to, she hit him on the back of his head with a frying pan, and pinned him to bag the Hardcore Championship.

Later in the night, Molly was sprinting in a backstage area when she ran into the upper half of a door, that was deliberately shut by Christian. He pinned an unconscious Molly to win the title.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
