PWDU 2024 Top 15 Women Downunder List

Below is our annual PWdownunder.com ‘Downunder Top 15 Women’ list. The list is based on the wrestler character/persona and events/matches that took place in 2024 on Australian soil.

Criteria for consideration…

Activity (consistently appearing for several promotions or one promotion) in-ring achievements (matches won, championships held, tournaments won etc), quality/standard of opponents, quality/standard of promotions worked for, wrestling ability.

Wrestlers who competed in established tag teams throughout 2024 will not have those tag matches count towards a ranking. International wrestlers who performed in Australia do qualify for a ranking.
