8 Lightest WWE Female Wrestlers In Recent Years

Last Updated on April 3, 2024 by Avik Das

The weight division does matter in the men’s division of professional wrestling. Many heavyweight wrestlers have fought in the ring, and have become some biggest stars of the company. And WWE loves mentioning the weight each time a wrestler makes an entry in the ring. 

But the same can’t be said about the female division of WWE. Good looks and wrestling dexterity play a big role in women’s wrestling. The fans care about the performance of women wrestlers, especially today. And due to physical disparity, a majority of female wrestlers are lightweight. Some female wrestlers barely even stand at five feet. WWE has had some lightweight female stars over the years and this list ranks them. 

8. Zelina Vega (99 Lbs)

Zelina Vega’s WWE career embarked on as a manager. She was the manager of Andrade, with whom she had an outstanding chemistry. Vega shined as a heel manager, and her thrash talks were impactful to make the character enjoyable. Andrade’s departure from WWE opened an opportunity to her to make a transition to the ring as a professional wrestler. Vega’s previous wrestling experience and high-flying wrestling style made her a talent to watch out today. She has captured the Tag Team Titles once. The 32-year-old’s small height plays a big part in her agility and high-flying ability in the ring. Carrying a toned and athletic physique, Zelina Vega weighs only 99 lbs. 

7. Kacy Catanzaro (100 Lbs)

Kacy Catanzaro has been a WWE Superstar for over six years, but she has taken a long time to make the main roster debut. The former gymnast turned professional wrestler recently debuted on WWE RAW after a run of six years on NXT. Kacy is a high flyer, and her gymnastic background justifies her wrestling style. She is currently one of the shortest WWE female wrestlers on the roster with a tiny stature of just five feet. Her weight is just 100 lbs.

6. Alexa Bliss (102 Lbs)

Alexa Bliss is not only one of the lightest wrestlers of female division, but she is also one of the shortest female wrestlers to take the ring of WWE. WWE has positively used her small stature, calling her ‘Little Miss Bliss’ or ‘Five Feet Of Fury’. Known for her good looks, Bliss has achieved more than anticipated, winning the Women’s Championship a record five times and capturing the Women’s Tag Team Titles. Bliss suffered from an eating disorder in her teen days. Later on, she started taking her health more seriously and competed in bodybuilding, which paved the way to have an aesthetic physique. Alexa Bliss weighs around 102 pounds. 

5. Carmella (110 Lbs)

Mella is money, and Mella is also thinnest wrestlers to grace the squared circle. However, Carmella is far taller than most women on this list. But her toned physique makes her only 110 pounds. Capturing the SmackDown Women’s Championship was Carmella’s most notable feat in WWE. She also added feathers of Miss Money in the Bank and Tag Team Titles holders.

4. Candice LeRae (110 Lbs)

Having wrestled for over two decades, Candice LeRae can easily be termed a veteran of the business. Before making her presence felt in WWE, LeRae, along with her husband Johnny Gargano, had wrestled all over the world. While she was a leading name in NXT, she is yet to make the same influence on the main roster. Mrs. Gargano might be a big force in the ring, but she weighs only 110 pounds. Yes, the recent pregnancy might have changed it, but she has worked hard to get back in wrestling shape. 

3. Kairi Sane (115 Lbs)

Kairi Sane worked as a WWE Superstar for four years. The Mae Young Classic tournament gave her a footprint in WWE, and she later competed on NXT and the main roster. Her Japanese wrestling style demonstrated quickness and high-flying ability. Her unparalleled talent was awarded by WWE on NXT as well as the main roster. She won the NXT Women’s Championship and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Like a majority of Japanese wrestlers, Kairi Sane had small stature. Weighing 115 lbs, Kairi Sane was smallest wrestlers from the division..

2. Sasha Banks or Mercedes (115 Lbs)

Sasha Banks was a horsewoman of WWE with a brilliant track record in the squared circle. In her nearly decade-long WWE career, she won everything that the women’s division had to offer. NXT was her yard when she won the NXT Women’s Championship. On the main roster, she wore both RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championship. And she captured the Women’s Tag Team Titles to be called a Grand Slam Champion. Now, she is doing well as Mercedes in AEW. When Banks was in WWE, she did achieve big things, but her weight wasn’t by her side. Sasha Banks often had disadvantages in the weight section against her bigger opponents, but her inconceivable talent didn’t allow a majority of her opponents to prevail. 

1. Io Shirai ( 119Lbs)

Io Shirai is another Japanese wrestler to feature in the list of the lightest WWE female wrestlers. The 33-year-old is a huge representation of Japanese wrestling in WWE besides Asuka. Her picturesque Moonslaughts and high-risk moves have made her a crowd-puller. As a solo performer, Sky was the dominant force in NXT. Under the guidance of Bayley, she is doing well as a Damage CTRL member. Io Shirai is just 5’1″, which makes her one of the lightest WWE female wrestlers. Consequently, Io Sky weighs only 119 lbs.
