Okay, wrestling fans, let's talk 2021! Specifically, the Raw Women's Championship. Remember that year? Feels like ages ago, doesn't it?
Seriously, my memory's shot. Is it just me, or do wrestling storylines blend together like a smoothie sometimes? A very sweaty, spandex-filled smoothie.
The Year of Reigns (and Title Changes!)
So, who was holding that shiny belt in 2021? It wasn't exactly a year of long, dominant reigns. Nope, we had a bit of hot potato going on, I think.
Thinking...thinking...okay, so Asuka definitely held it at some point. Queen Asuka, if you will. Remember her facepaint? Iconic.
Then we had Rhea Ripley, right? "The Nightmare"! She's a powerhouse, no doubt about it. She brought some serious intensity to the Raw women's division.
Charlotte Flair Enters the Chat
But wait...there's more! Of course, Charlotte Flair had a reign. Did Charlotte ever not have a reign? (Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating. Slightly.)
Rhea Ripley Is WWE’s Best Choice To Dethrone Bianca Belair As Raw Women
She's basically the wrestling equivalent of the "Game of Thrones" Iron Throne. Except, instead of a throne, it's a sparkly championship belt. You get the idea.
Honestly, trying to keep track of all of Charlotte's title wins is a full-time job. I need a spreadsheet and possibly a therapist.
The Underdog Story We All Loved
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Remember Nikki A.S.H.? Almost a Super Hero? Yeah, the one with the cape and the whole superhero gimmick.

Okay, unpopular opinion time: I actually really liked that character! It was so goofy and over-the-top, it was endearing.
Plus, her title win was a genuinely feel-good moment. Seeing her beat Charlotte for the championship was unexpected, to say the least! Talk about a David and Goliath situation!
“Almost a Super Hero” winning the title? Who would have thought! Maybe that's what wrestling is all about, surprises and dreams come true.
Raw Champions: Projecting The Next 5 WWE Champions (And The Next 5 Raw
Was it a long reign? Nope. Did it matter? Also nope! It was a fun moment, and sometimes, that's all you need.
So, Who Ended the Year on Top?
If my wrestling memory serves me right, I believe Becky Lynch finished out 2021 with the title. “Big Time Becks” showed up big time.
She came back with a vengeance, and that championship felt like it was custom-made for her. She's a force of nature, plain and simple.
Bianca Belair shares honest feelings about upcoming reality show with
So there you have it! A whirlwind tour of the 2021 Raw Women's Championship scene. It was chaotic, it was unpredictable, and it was definitely entertaining.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go lie down. All this wrestling talk has made my head spin more than a Ric Flair promo.
But hey, at least we figured out who had the belt! (Mostly.)
