PWI Women’s 150 top 10 revealed: Syuri tops this year’s list

Pro Wrestling Illustrated has revealed the top 10 for its annual PWI Women’s 150 list, the women’s equivalent to their PWI 500 list of the best wrestlers in the world. Before we get to the list, a reminder of how PWI comes to their conclusions:

• Evaluation Period: 10/1/21 – 9/15/22*
• Criteria:
  • In-ring achievement
  • Influence on the sport/promotion
  • Technical ability
  • Quality/breadth of competition
  • Activity**

*Two weeks shy of a full 12-month period to accommodate slightly shorter editorial lead time.
**Minimum 10 matches (or six months with at least one match in each) during eval period to qualify for ranking.

Without further ado, here’s the top 10:

1. Syuri (Stardom)
2. Bianca Belair (WWE)
3. Thunder Rosa (AEW)
4. Becky Lynch (WWE)
5. Jade Cargill (AEW)
6. Jordynne Grace (Impact)
7. Saya Kamitani (Stardom)
