Without further ado, let's take a look at the 10 best female wrestlers in AEW, ranked by in-ring skills.

10 Tay Conti

Tay Conti was an average woman in WWE, but since she's been working for AEW, it's a completely different story. Conti has developed in every aspect, especially in in-ring skills.

The 26-year-old Brazilian was one of the most improved wrestlers of 2021, winning matches here and there and generally putting on good shows on a regular basis. Tay Conti still has a lot of room for improvement, but even so, she is already among the best women in AEW, no doubt about it.

9 Nyla Rose

Nyla Rose is a pretty solid worker, with a lot of experience that allows her to perform well against any opponent. Obviously, her physique doesn't allow her to be the fastest or the most athletic, but her great power is all she needs to destroy her opponent.

Best of all, Rose's moves are quite smooth and safe, as she has very good technique. Nyla Rose is one of the most consistent wrestlers in AEW, and she has been proving it for a couple of years now.

8 Kris Statlander

Kris Statlander is an all-around wrestler worth watching, she has genuine strength, agility, and flexibility, which make her an excellent performer in general terms. Kris Statlander's matches against Britt Baker and Ruby Soho are her most notable work in AEW.

Certainly, "The Galaxy's Greatest Alien" has to improve certain aspects of her game, such as storytelling and in-ring psychology, and when she does, she could become one of the best female wrestlers in the world.

7 Ruby Soho

Everyone knows how talented Ruby Soho is, and that's precisely why fans are happy for her now that she can shine on her own, something she failed to do in WWE.

Ruby Soho certainly hasn't done anything extraordinary in AEW yet, but it's only a matter of time before she starts to stand out. Ruby's in-ring skills are great, she is an above-average worker who can deliver good matches when given the opportunity.

6 Dr. Britt Baker DMD

AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker has done a fantastic job in the last few months, being a great champ and being one of AEW’s biggest draws.

Britt’s persona is awesome and her in-ring work is solid as well. She is always focused, and she does fantastic heel work during her bouts. Certainly, something about her matches doesn’t feel right, as she lacks creativity and her arsenal of moves is pretty basic. No one can deny Baker is pretty talented, though, and her matches against Thunder Rosa, Hikaru Shida, and Kris Statlander are proof of that.

5 Riho

Despite her small size and slender body, Riho has proven to be one of AEW's best performers. Her in-ring skills are simply phenomenal; Riho has a very diverse arsenal of moves and always performs her spots smoothly.

Riho has amazing technique and also frequently performs high-flying moves, which makes her offense surprisingly great. Riho’s biggest strength is her selling, as she can make her opponents look awesome. Riho is only 24 years old, but she wrestles like a veteran, typical of a Japanese wrestler.

4 Jamie Hayter

Jamie Hayter is one of the most promising female wrestlers in the world. She has the potential to dominate the AEW women's division, and surely, it's only a matter of time before she steps away from Britt Baker and receives a big solo push.

The 26-year-old Englishwoman has a great wrestling style that combines strength and technique with fluidity and harmony. Plus, her selling and storytelling are top-notch. Jamie Hayter is undoubtedly World Champion material.

3 Thunder Rosa

Despite having started her professional career at the age of 28, Thunder Rosa is an extraordinary wrestler, as it seems that her talent is innate. Most of Rosa's matches are intense and hard-hitting. She is an unstoppable force, and she is always willing to win, no matter how much pain she has to endure.

Thunder Rosa is a versatile worker, who has the ability to adapt to each of her opponents. Rosa has delivered some excellent matches in AEW, the most notable being her Unsanctioned Lights Out against Britt Baker.

2 Serena Deeb

If you want to see a technical clinic then you have to watch Serena Deeb wrestle. She is very talented in the ring, and when it comes to submission moves, Serena Deeb is arguably the best woman in AEW.

Serena has intensity and ferocity, and she tells stories brilliantly. Deeb hasn't had a bad performance in a long time, as she is always flawless, and her matches are fun to watch. The trilogy of matches between Serena Deeb and Hikaru Shida is the best women's trilogy in AEW history.

1 Hikaru Shida

Speaking of Hikaru Shida, she is indisputably the best female wrestler in AEW in terms of in-ring skills. Shida's technique is exquisite, her moves are absolutely clean, and her experience allows her to be prepared for any situation.

Shida's offense is fabulous, she sells her opponents’ moves excellently and her storytelling is masterful. Hikaru Shida is so good that she has had great matches against pretty much every woman she has faced. There is nothing that can be said about Hikaru Shida other than praise, as she always delivers.
