10,170 Days: The Unbreakable Women’s WWE Title Reign Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton Can Only Chase
From the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras to today, WWE’s women have stacked up dominant world-title reigns. Yet one superstar’s staggering record still towers above them all.
Women in WWE have been crushing it for decades, from the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras to the current Triple H-led lineup. But there’s one stat from way back that still towers over everything: a title reign so long it barely feels real.
The number that still blows everything else away
In 1956, The Fabulous Moolah won what WWE recognizes as its women’s world title. According to The Sportster, she held that championship for 10,710 days. That’s 28 years, stretching to 1984. Nobody else has come close, and honestly, nobody will.
How Moolah became the face of women’s wrestling
During a time when women’s wrestling wasn’t getting much mainstream shine, Moolah wasn’t just the champion in the ring. She also ran her own operation outside it, training wrestlers and booking them. That combination made her the gatekeeper of the division and helped keep the belt in her orbit for nearly three decades.
WWE celebrated her heavily for years — she got a Hall of Fame induction and plenty of on-air tributes in the early 2000s — but that legacy has gotten a lot more complicated since.
The controversy that changed how people talk about her
Allegations later surfaced — reported by Forbes — that Moolah exploited the women she trained, controlling bookings, finances, and even parts of their personal lives. The issue boiled over in 2018 when WWE tried naming the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal after her. Fans and wrestlers pushed back hard, and WWE dropped the name.
So where does that leave things? Her influence on the business is undeniable, and she helped keep women’s wrestling alive during lean years. But the way she used that power is a big part of the story now too.
Why nobody today is touching 10,710 days
Even with stars like Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton headlining shows, Moolah’s number is basically untouchable in modern WWE. The current scene moves faster, the roster is deeper, and titles change hands way more often by design. Quick reality check on where things stand right now:
- Tiffany Stratton is the current WWE Women’s Champion, and she’s got Jade Cargill breathing down her neck. Cargill is being positioned as that next big threat — physically dominant and very much on Stratton’s heels.
- Rhea Ripley, a two-time Women’s World Champion, isn’t holding gold at the moment. She’s not the official top contender right now, but she’s hovering around the title picture as a constant threat to Stephanie Vaquer — who currently holds that belt.
- And yes, that’s two separate top women’s singles titles in play: the WWE Women’s Championship and the Women’s World Championship. Even if someone racks up a strong run on one of them, modern WWE storytelling just doesn’t sit on a belt for years at a time anymore.
Put it all together, and Moolah’s 28-year run is going to stay what it is: a record from a very different era that no one in today’s system is built to chase, let alone break.
