An easy pick for the number one position on the list, Rebecca Quinn, better known as Becky Lynch in WWE, has one of those underdog stories that are the stuff of dreams. Born in 1987 in the town of Limerick in Ireland, she started wrestling at the age of 15 in smaller promotions of the island country. However, life-threatening injuries in 2005 kept her out of action for six years until her WWE signing in 2013.

Quickly rising up the cards, she wrestled some fantastic bouts with the likes of Bayley, Charlotte, and Sasha Banks, the four collectively coming to be known as "The Four Horsewomen." Making her main roster debut in 2015, she showed flashes of her brilliance until SummerSlam 2018, a night that marked the beginning of a run that has defined her career and women's wrestling in general.

Taking up the moniker of "The Man", she went on a run that culminated in the first Wrestlemania headed by women in 2019. The visual of Becky with a bloodied nose on the 12th November episode of WWE RAW in 2018 has deservingly found its way into wrestling lore, along with her monumental Wrestlemania main event victory.

Currently on hiatus from WWE owing to motherhood, her return is being highly anticipated by fans.
