Full 2025 PWI Women’s 250 list revealed

Pro Wrestling Illustrated has announced its annual PWI Women’s 250 list, cataloging the best women’s wrestlers in the world according to the publication. As always, we remind you the criteria for PWI’s annual lists are kayfabe-based, and take the following into account:

• In-ring achievement: Win-loss records, championships, tournaments won
• Influence: Visibility and prestige within a promotion and/or the industry
• Technical ability: Variety of moves, quality of matches, and in-ring storytelling
• Competition: Success against the most varied and highest-quality opponents
• Activity: Minimum 10 singles matches total; or, barring this, six such matches in separate months

The evaluation period is from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
