Mercedes Moné (#1) & Toni Storm (#2) top 2025 PWI 250

I hope they main event a PPV together at some point.

Our glorious CEO is the best female in the world

And it's not just me saying it, PWI says it

I mean who else had a better year than 1 and 2?

Io is the closest, but she faded as the year continued

Tiffany Stratton bring that high up is WILD. She was doing nothing but get her ass beat every week for months

The first quarter of this year carried her

Saya Kamitani could have been in the top 2 she has similar kayfabe accomplishments to Toni's : a 200+ days world title reign and very few losses. She also moved the needle big time in Japan for Stardom.

I'll be honest. It's legit mindblowing to me that anyone can actively hate this chick. Works her ass off, loves the business, consistently involved in multiple MOTY candidates, puts women over even in defeat, keeps kayfabe alive by staying in character, and actually interacts with her fans (in character).

And folks are mad.

It's interesting that no woman has ever been #1 twice since they started the list.

Toni might not even be in the top 10 next year cause the only title she will win is probably the tag team one with Mina and tag team competition doesn't count for the Women's 250.
Mercedes has lost only one match for the 2025 evaluation period and she will surely lose to Kris next week, if she starts dropping her belts in 2026 it's gonna hurt her win-loss record which is one one of the most important criteria in the making of the list.

In the future I could see Rhea, Mercedes (the year she's gonna win the AEW World Title), Toni (she's only 30 years old), Bianca winning it a second time, not so much the other previous winners who are still active (Becky, Bayley, Syuri, Asuka, Charlotte).
The first one to do it might also be someone who hasn't been #1 yet (Stephanie Vaquer, Saya Kamitani, Blake Monroe, Tiffany Stratton, Willow Nightingale, Kris Statlander...)
