5 Most influential women in WWE history

#3 Mae Young

Mae Young is considered a pioneer of women’s wrestling

While younger viewers may only remember Mae Young as the woman who made the occasional appearance on WWE programming, she is so much more than just that. She was the first person to break the mould and make women’s wrestling a viable option way back in the 1930s and the 1940s.

She broke the very first barriers women faced in wrestling and she deserves a place on this list just for that.
