Top 10 Longest WWE Women’s/Divas Title Reigns 8

8) Wendi Richter (239 days)

What a great segue! Richter was actually a two-time Women’s champion, winning her second championship at the inaugural WrestleMania in 1985 over Leilani Kai.

Scheduled to defend her title at Madison Square Garden on November 25 against the Spider Lady, Richter was counted to the mat after a rollup. Despite her kicking out at the count of one, the referee continued his count and the bell sounded.

Richter ignored the bell and continued attacking the masked lady, taking off the mask to reveal it was the Fabulous Moolah. The plan was orchestrated by, you guessed it, Vince McMahon after Richter had reportedly refused to sign a new contract with the WWE. Richter however, says she was wrestling under contract, though she had many disagreements with McMahon over her compensation.

Richter has added she was surprised to see Moolah at the arena that day. Following the match, Richter made a quick exit out of the arena with her gear, took a cab, got a flight out of New York and never spoke to Moolah again. She was finally inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2010.
