Traditionally, WWE has been the land of the giants where opportunities were given to taller wrestlers because of their looks as an attraction. Some of the tallest female wrestlers to grace a WWE ring have tremendous athleticism for their height. The tallest female wrestlers have managed to dominate their opponents in the ring with their height and technical abilities.

The WWE Women's Championship is the biggest prize that women can fight for in WWE. There have been several iterations of the Women's Championship with the original Women's Championship, the new Women's Championship, the Women's World Championship, and the Divas Championship. Furthermore, the tallest women to clinch a singles Women's Championship on the main roster have had outstanding runs as Women's Champions, and others fell flat.
11 Bertha Faye - 5'8"
The women's division in the New Generation Era failed with Alundra Blayze dominating the division and not having many challengers to threaten her Women's Championship reign. At SummerSlam 1995, Faye challenged Blayze for the WWE Women's Championship and she defeated her for the title.
Faye was one of the heaviest women's wrestlers in WWE history and Harvey Wippleman was her manager. Faye's Women's Championship reign wasn't memorable as she dropped the title back to Blayze, just 56 days later on an episode of Raw.
10 Stephanie McMahon - 5'8"
Stephanie McMahon wasn't a trained competitor by any stretch of the imagination, but the "Billion Dollar Princess" wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. On the go-home episode of SmackDown before WrestleMania 16, Stephanie defeated Jacqueline for the WWE Women's Championship.

Stephanie and her husband Triple H were a dominant power couple as the Game held the WWE Championship. Unsurprisingly, Stephanie barely defended the Women's Championship and Lita defeated her for the gold in the main event on the August 21, 2000 edition of Raw.
9 Rockin' Robin - 5'8"
Rockin' Robin is the half-sister of Jake "The Snake" Roberts and she is one of the longest-reigning WWE Women's Champions in WWE history. Robin defeated The Sensational Sherri for the WWE Women's Championship in Paris, France in the fall of 1988 to begin her 501-day reign as Women's Champion.
Robin stood at five feet eight inches tall, but the Women's Championship became redundant towards the end of 1989. She retained the title at the 1989 Royal Rumble against Judy Martin, and the title was in February 1990.
8 Wendi Richter - 5'8"
Wendi Richter was one of the most popular women's wrestlers in the Golden Era and she is a two-time WWE Women's Champion. Richter beat The Fabulous Moolah for the Women's Championship on The Brawl to End It All but her title reign was ended by Leilani Kai, 209 days later.
Richter regained the WWE Women's Championship from Kai at the inaugural WrestleMania in March 1985. However, her second Women's Championship reign ended in the worst possible way as The Fabulous Moolah was disguised as The Spider Lady and she beat her for the Women's Championship in the original screwjob.
7 Victoria - 5'8"
Victoria was one of the top female wrestlers in the Ruthless Aggression Era and she was one of the tallest at 5'8". Victoria won the WWE Women's Championship twice and she beat Trish Stratus for her first Women's Title run at Survivor Series 2002 in a Hardcore match.

Victoria made history as she became the first woman to defend the Women's Championship at back-to-back WrestleManias at WrestleMania 19 and 20. Victoria is yet to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame which is surprising, but she was one of the most athletic women on the roster for her height.
6 Sable - 5'8"
Sable wasn't the best in-ring wrestler but she managed to get her hands on the WWE Women's Championship. Sable saw off her rival Jacqueline at Survivor Series 1998 to clinch her sole Women's Championship reign.
Sable's two high-profile Women's Championship title defenses on pay-per-view were against Luna in a strap match at the 1999 Royal Rumble, and she beat Tori at WrestleMania 15. Sable's Women's Championship reign was curtailed by Debra in an Evening Gown match, but it was a scandalous decision from Commissioner Shawn Michaels who abused his power as Debra was stripped of her bra and panties but she was awarded the Women's Championship.
5 Michelle McCool - 5'10"
Michelle McCool stands at 5 feet 10 inches tall, but McCool had an outstanding in-ring career. McCool made history at The Great American Bash 2008 as she was the first-ever Divas Champion, and a year later, she won the WWE Women's Championship to become the first person to win both the Divas and Women's Championships.
McCool is overall a four-time Women's Champion with two reigns apiece as the Women's Champion and Divas Champion. Her Faithbreaker finisher was devastating, and McCool had some memorable battles with the likes of Melina over the Women's Championship.
4 Chyna - 5'10"
The "Ninth Wonder of the World" Chyna was a trailblazer for women and paved the way for those that followed. Chyna was originally a bodyguard for D-Generation X, but she branched out on her own and wrestled the men in intergender matches.

Chyna dethroned Jeff Jarrett for the Intercontinental Championship at No Mercy 1999 becoming the first woman to win the Intercontinental Championship. Chyna won it for a second time at SummerSlam 2000, but she moved into the women's division reluctantly towards the end of 2000. Chyna unsuccessfully challenged Ivory for the WWE Women's Championship at the 2001 Royal Rumble in her first Women's Title bout, but she ended Ivory's Women's Championship reign at WrestleMania 17 in a squash match.
3 Alundra Blayze - 5'10"
Alundra Blayze was the top women's wrestler in the New Generation Era, and she clinched the vacant WWE Women's Championship in December 1993. Blayze's first Women's Championship reign saw her successfully defend the gold against Leilani Kai at WrestleMania 10 and against Bull Nakano in one of the best Women's Championship matches at SummerSlam 1994.
Blayze won the WWE Women's Championship three times and she was one of the tallest women at 5 feet 10 inches tall. However, Blayze jump shipped to WCW and she infamously dropped the Women's Championship in the trashcan with Blayze blacklisted from WWE for two decades before she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015.
2 Charlotte Flair - 5'10"
Charlotte Flair will go down in history as the greatest WWE women's wrestler of all time. The daughter of 16-time world champion Ric Flair, the Queen has had a fantastic career so far as she is a record-breaking 14-time WWE Women's Champion and counting.
The Queen was involved in the first women's main event at WrestleMania 35 and she featured in the first women's main event on a WWE pay-per-view. For someone who stands at 5 feet 10 inches tall, Charlotte's athleticism is outstanding and her trademark corkscrew moonsault onto her opponents is a fantastic move in Charlotte's repertoire.
1 Nia Jax - 6'0"
It was a surprise when WWE released Nia Jax from her WWE contract in November 2021 as she is a relative of The Rock. Her position seemed to be secure but that wasn't the case. The Irresistible Force defeated her former best friend Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania 34 for the Raw Women's Championship.
It was an emotional moment for Jax but her Raw Women's Championship reign didn't set the world alight. She dropped the title back to Bliss at Money in the Bank 2018 as she was a victim of a Money in the Bank cash-in. Nonetheless, Jax won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Shayna Baszler, and she made a one-off surprising return in the 2023 women's Royal Rumble match.
