Professional wrestling has long been a sport that features larger-than-life athletes. For years, commentators have often made a point to emphasize a performer’s height. This is particularly true for extremely tall wrestlers. Heck, one would be hard-pressed to find one of Big Show’s matches where a commentator doesn’t mention the fact that he’s 7 feet tall.

However, for whatever reason, WWE doesn’t seem to put as much emphasis on height when it comes to their female performers. This may leave fans wondering just who are the tallest ladies to ever set foot in a WWE ring. Here are the answers.

UPDATE: 2024/03/05 14:30 EST BY TEVON KING

Unquestionably, taller female wrestlers stand out more than shorter wrestlers because of their height. Furthermore, WWE has started to give both tall and short female wrestlers an equal opportunity to succeed. However, some of the tallest female wrestlers to grace a WWE ring move extremely well for their height and use it to their advantage in matches.

Not every tall female wrestler who has walked through the doors of WWE is a good wrestler, and sometimes they have been exposed in the ring for their lack of skills. Nevertheless, the all-time greats find a way to adjust, and some of the tallest female wrestlers in WWE history have done an exceptional job with their height.

Dupri has started to wrestle inside the ring, and working alongside Gable, who is technically sound in the ring, she will improve. Nevertheless, Dupri is one of the tallest women on the roster as she stands at 5 feet 9 inches tall.

Perseverance paid off as she won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Natalya in 2021. She's also had a few reigns as 24/7 Champion.

Her current status in WWE is unknown as she may have quietly retired in 2023 or she could be injured.

Though she did wrestle for WWE, Kharma had far more success in TNA Wrestling, both before and after her time there. She is a 2-time TNA Knockouts Champion while performing under the ring name Awesome Kong. She recently made a surprise appearance at AEW’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view event.

She worked for WWE from 2002 to 2004 – as both a wrestler and a manager. She never really caught on as a performer and is perhaps best remembered for managing The Basham Brothers. Miles was ultimately released from her contract in early 2004.

The former Tough Enough winner retired from pro wrestling shortly after being released from WWE. Since that time, the now 45-year-old has worked as a substitute teacher and a basketball referee.

Nia Jax was a surprising release in November 2021 considering she's a member of the Anoa'i Family. Jax is a former Raw Women's Champion, and she won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship twice with Shayna Baszler. The Irresistible Force returned to WWE in the 2023 women's Royal Rumble match for a one-time deal, but she made her full-time return to the company in September 2023.

On the main roster, Raquel has won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship three times as she won the title once with Aliyah and twice with Liv Morgan.
