Top 10 Female Wrestlers Of The Decade

#6 Io Shirai

Io Shirai

One of just two stars on this list considered mainly for their achievements outside of WWE.

At the age of 29, it's fair to say that 'The Genius of The Sky' still has her best years ahead of her. Which is amazing considering what she has done so far.

Originally a tag team wrestler upon her debut in 2007, Shirai broke out this decade in Stardom to become one of the top stars, both male and female, in Japan.

Such was her achievements in the promotion that she was once referred to as the 'ace' of Stardom, indicating that she was the top face in the whole company.

A two-time Wonder of Stardom champion and six-time Artist of Stardom champion, she was also recognized by Japanese publication Tokyo Sports Puroresu as their women's grand prize recipient three years running from 2015 to 2017.

Long touted as someone on the radar of WWE, she finally debuted with the company in 2018 during the second Mae Young Classic, in which she would finish runner-up behind Toni Storm.

Originally coming in as a colorful high flyer, Shirai has redefined her character as more of a cold-hearted Judas in this last year to rave reviews.

She still hasn't reached her peak on NXT as of yet, but her achievements in Japan alone deserve the top ten honors.
