Roxanne Perez (Honourable Mention)
Roxanne Perez made a huge impact in the early months of 2024 by winning her second NXT Women’s Championship. Since then, The Prodigy has put down every opponent put in front of her in the ring and is looking to close out 2024, still as the dominant champion.
‘The Prodigy’ is also currently the longest-reigning champion in WWE.
10. Bayley
The Role Model, Bayley, had an incredible year after a long time, opening it by winning the 2024 Royal Rumble match. This led to her triumph at WrestleMania 40, defeating IYO Sky to win the WWE Women’s Championship. Bayley went on to hold the title till the summer, having a spectacular reign and is still a regular presence on WWE television programming.
9. Bron Breakker
Bron Breakker burst on the main roster following his successful tenure in WWE NXT in 2024. As soon as he arrived on RAW, Breakker displayed dominance and carnage in multiple matches. His in-ring style and hunger led him to win the WWE Intercontinental title twice, which he is currently holding after defeating Jey Uso on RAW a few weeks ago.
Breakker has had great matches with Sami Zayn, Sheamus and many others in 2024. He is a future WWE world champion for sure.
8. Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa broke away from being Roman Reigns’ Enforcer to emerging as his heated rival and the self-proclaimed new Tribal Chief. Sikoa led his new Bloodline in 2024, establishing a path of carnage and also pinned Reigns’ shoulders to the mat at WWE Crown Jewel, thereby becoming a notable fixture on Friday Night SmackDown.

6. Jey Uso
2024 was a classic display and establishment of the YEET movement, with Jey Uso at the forefront.

5. Nia Jax
Nia Jax’s return to WWE this year proved to be an excellent beginning for her second tenure. Using her raw power and in-ring dominance, she earned the throne of WWE Queen of the Ring. This was followed by her triumph over Bayley at SummerSlam, where she won the WWE Women’s title and has continued to dominate all opponents put in front of her throughout the year.
4. Liv Morgan
The Liv Morgan Revenge Tour was perhaps the talk of the town on Monday Night RAW throughout the year 2024. It saw the meteoric rise of Liv Morgan, proving to be one of her best years, winning the Women’s World Championship and being involved in one of the hottest storylines of the year with Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley.

Gunther set the record for the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion in 2024. After his reign ended, The Ring General bounced back and elevated himself to main event status. Gunther defeated Randy Orton to become King of the Ring and went on to defeat Damian Priest at SummerSlam to win his first-ever World Heavyweight Championship, establishing himself as a top-tier fixture for WWE.
